Yo, it’s going down in the DMs, reminiscin’ ’bout them lyrics dropped by Yo Gotti, takin’ me back to them good ol’ times. But check this out, for all my fit fam and the fit future bae, the DM game is just gettin’ started. Strava, that go-to fitness app, just rolled out a new direct-message move, got users feelin’ some type of way โ half thrill (new spot to flirt!) and half hesitation (flirting, but in a fitness zone).
The fitness playground is stepping up its game with both direct and group messages, letting you swap routes, GIFs, and set up them group sweat sessions. Today’s the day, Strava users can slide into each other’s DMs, throwin’ out both solo messages and group chats.
They say it’s all about motivating your workout buddies and planning those epic group activities, but you know I’m thinking this is my new Tinder! Fit bae, where you at?! Let’s turn these Strava vibes into something more than just a run โ let the fitness flirts begin!

It’s gonna be a wild ride seein’ how Strava users vibe with this whole messaging scene. You know, adding messaging to any platform opens up a can of worms โ the risk of harassment and all them weirdos slidin’ into your DMs(deletes hey bae message). Look at Instagram, TikTok, and the whole social media game; they turn into pseudo-dating sites real quick. And don’t front, athletes with similar interests might just be eyeing Strava as the next move.
Lucky for us, Strava ain’t playin’ around with privacy. You got options โ limit those messages to followers, mutuals, or straight-up “no one.” Yeah, you heard it right, shut it down if you ain’t in the mood. Choose “no one,” and nobody’s messagin’ you first, but you still got the power to kick off convos. And peep this, it’s not just about solo chats; it’s rollin’ into group chats too.
Settings wise, it’s set based on your profile visibility, but you can finesse it how you want in the settings. Keepin’ it tight, keepin’ it real.
That’s the Strava messaging game for now. But hold up, early 2024, Strava’s droppin’ some more heat โ we talkin’ photo uploads, sharin’ posts and events from Strava Clubs, and get this, messaging about specific topics within Clubs. Strava’s levelin’ up, fam! ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฌ
