Differences between Strove Coins and Leaderboard Points

Clarifying how Strove coins (used for redeeming rewards) differ from leaderboard points (used to rank performance within challenges).

How you earn Points

You earn points by completing wellness activities; either within Strove (like workouts or meditations) or through connected fitness apps.

For fitness-related activities, points are calculated based on several factors:

  • Duration of the activity

  • Your age

  • Average heart rate

  • Active intensity (derived from your resting and maximum heart rate)

Because these factors are personalised, two users performing the same activity might earn different points. See "How to Earn Strove Coins" for the full breakdown of rates by activity type.

Earning Strove Coins (Redeemable Points)

Strove coins are what you use to redeem rewards. You earn coins for every activity you complete—whether a workout, steps, or meditation. Your coins accumulate in your total balance, which you can use to redeem rewards whenever you choose.

Weekly earning cap: You can earn up to 200 coins per week. This weekly limit resets every Monday, allowing you to earn another 200 coins in the new week. Your total coin balance is never reset—only the weekly earning capacity refreshes.

Example:

If you complete a 5 km run worth 35 points on Monday and also log 10,000 steps worth 20 points the same day, both activities earn coins: 35 + 20 = 55 coins added to your total balance. If you continue completing activities throughout the week, your coins accumulate until you reach 200 coins earned that week, at which point no additional coins are awarded until the following Monday. Your total coin balance remains unchanged and is always available to spend on rewards.

Earning Leaderboard Points

Leaderboard points reflect all your activities throughout the day.

Using the same example:

  • The 5 km run (35 points)

  • The 10,000 steps (20 points)

These combine for a total of 55 leaderboard points for that day.

This way, your leaderboard points showcase your overall daily activity.

In summary

  • Strove coins: Every activity counts toward your weekly earning total until you reach 200 coins (weekly cap resets Monday). Your total coin balance accumulates and is never reset—use coins to redeem rewards whenever you're ready.

  • Leaderboard points: All activities count toward your challenge ranking.

Both systems encourage consistent movement while fairly recognising your best efforts.
