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, distance, 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. Every activity you complete contributes to your weekly Coin total, up to a cap of 200 Coins per week (see "Your Weekly Coin Cap" below).
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 three methods, depending on activity type:
Heart rate-based workouts
Duration-based activities
Distance-based activities
How Strove Coins Are Calculated
Heart Rate Workouts
Points are based on how hard you worked (as a percentage of your max heart rate) and for how long.
Intensity | How to Reach It | Points per Minute | Max Points per Session |
Very Low | 55–60% max HR | 0.8 | 288 (over 6 hrs) |
Low | 60–70% max HR | 1 | 360 (over 6 hrs) |
Moderate | 70–80% max HR | 1.5 | 540 (over 6 hrs) |
High | 80–100% max HR | 2 | 360 (over 3 hrs) |
Below 55% of your max heart rate doesn't qualify for HR-based points, but you may still earn Coins through the duration or distance categories below.
Duration-Based Activities
Points are based on how long you do the activity.
Activity | Starts Earning At | Rate | Max |
Workout / Strength Training / Racquet Sports | 5 min | 1 pt/min | 40 pts (40 min) |
Yoga / Pilates | 5 min | 0.8 pts/min | 40 pts (50 min) |
Meditation | 3 min | 0.5 pts/min | 15 pts (30 min) |
Distance-Based Activities
Points are based on how far you go.
Activity | Starts Earning At | Rate | Max |
Walk | 1 km | 6 pts/km | 126 pts (21 km+) |
Golf | 1 km | 3 pts/km | 33 pts (11 km+) |
Swim | 100 m | 32 pts/km | 160 pts (5 km+) |
Other Activities
Activity Type | Points Earned |
Steps | 10 points for 6,000 steps • 15 points for 8,000 steps • 20 points for 10,000+ steps |
In-App Yoga Videos | 10 points for 10 minutes or longer |
In-App Workout Videos | 15 points for 10 minutes or longer |
Run, Ride, Surf, Row, and Canoe activities are calculated using the same distance and heart-rate based methods described above, depending on what data your connected app provides.
Your Weekly Coin Cap
Every activity you complete contributes to a running weekly Coin total, up to a maximum of 200 Coins per week. Once you reach 200 Coins in a week, you won't earn additional Coins until the cap resets the following Monday.
This cap only limits how many new Coins you can earn that week — it doesn't affect your total Coin balance, which never resets and is always available to redeem for rewards.
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.
Combine different activity types across the week — they all count toward your weekly cap.
Keep your apps connected and permissions active for seamless syncing.
