Overview
You earn Strove Coins whenever you complete and record an eligible activity through a connected fitness app or wearable device. Strove analyses your workout duration, intensity, and data type (e.g. heart rate or GPS) to calculate your earned Coins.
The harder or longer you work, the more you earn, which is our way of rewarding consistent effort and active living.
How to Start Earning
Connect your fitness app or device
Open Strove → Settings → Connected Apps
Link at least one partner app (e.g. Strava, Fitbit, Garmin, Health Connect, or Apple Health)
Note: Steps are not synced from Strava.
Complete an eligible activity
Strove automatically receives data once your connected app syncs.
No manual uploads are required.
Earn Coins based on your activity
Your Coins are calculated using one of two methods:
Activities recorded with heart rate data
Activities recorded without heart rate data
How Strove Coins Are Calculated
Recorded with Heart Rate Data
Intensity of Exercise | Average Heart Rate (% of max) | Points per 10 min | Max Points per Session | Example |
High | >77% | 20 | 540 | A 33-min spin class = (30/10) × 20 = 60 Coins |
Moderate | 64%–76% | 15 | 540 | A 66-min trail run = (60/10) × 15 = 90 Coins |
Low | 50%–63% | 10 | 360 | A 2-hour 29-min ride = (140/10) × 10 = 140 Coins |
Too Low | <50% | 0 | N/A | Below this level doesn’t qualify for HR-based rewards |
Note: If your heart rate is too low to earn HR-based points, you may still qualify through the non-HR activity categories below.
Recorded Without Heart Rate Data
Activity Type | Points Earned |
Walk / Golf / Run | 8 points per km (Run max 42 km; Walk/Golf max 21 km) |
Ride | 6 points per 2 km (max 112 km) |
Swim | 6 points per 200 m (max 5000 m) |
Steps | 10 points for 6000 steps • 15 points for 8000 steps • 20 points for 10 000 + steps |
Yoga / Pilates | 1 point per minute (up to 60 minutes) |
Strength / Workout | 10 points per 10 minutes (up to 30 points) |
Mindful Minutes | 1 point per minute (up to 15 minutes) |
In-App Yoga Videos | 10 points for 10 minutes or longer |
In-App Workout Videos | 15 points for 10 minutes or longer |
How Syncing Works
After your workout:
Your connected app (e.g. Fitbit, Garmin, or Strava) uploads the data to its platform.
Strove automatically retrieves the session within minutes.
Your Coins appear in your account once the activity is processed.
If your activity doesn’t appear after a few hours, check your Connected Apps permissions and ensure syncing is enabled.
Tips for Maximising Your Coins
Wear a device that tracks heart rate to unlock higher-intensity rewards.
Make sure your workout duration is fully captured — cutting a session short reduces your points.
Keep your apps connected and permissions active for seamless syncing.
