OutGrind vs Strava

Strava is a social tracking app for runners and cyclists. OutGrind is a gym-vs-gym rec league where showing up is the sport.

Where Strava wins

Strava is the best tool for endurance athletes: GPS-backed cardio tracking, segments, clubs, and the most motivating social graph in outdoor fitness. If your primary training is running or cycling, Strava is the backbone of your tracking life.

Where OutGrind wins

OutGrind is built for gym training. Your gym is the team in Gym Wars — nearby gyms are the rival — and every GPS-verified workout (timer + photo) helps your side win. Rivals is the free head-to-head mode between matches.
