Train Yard vs Strand

Train Yard a boutique fitness studio in Clapham, London offering classes

Strand is the hybrid training log for people who lift, run, swim and race. Track GPS runs, log every gym session, run hybrid circuits with a live split timer, see daily readiness from your watch and count calories, all in one app. Most workout apps only care about one sport. If you do strength work and cardio, your week ends up split across three apps that don't talk to each other. Strand puts it all in one training log, so you can see your whole week and know when to push and when to back off.
