Strava for lifting: does it exist?

Who already tried this

What's the crossover

A gym Strava already exists. A new app would need a narrower job, such as a lift or a gym Hevy does not serve 3.

Demand check

Publish a signup page for a lift in a gym and share it with the coaches you can reach. Count signups against visits.

Build plan

• Start: let members of a gym log sets on a shared board.
• Next: add follows and a weekly volume view.
• Then: add a simple streak for days trained.
• After that: invite the signup list and watch whether people log another week.

Copy the build prompt

Build a small web app for gym lifting. Each member logs an exercise, weight, and reps. Members follow each other and see a feed of new sets. Show a weekly total per lift. Store members, exercises, sets and follows in a database. Use plain, accessible HTML.

Risks and unknowns

• Hevy already claims 17 3 million 3 plus athletes.
• Strong already logs over 30 million 4 workouts.
• Fitbod already plans the next session, so a coach-in-the-app angle is also taken 5.
