Boring but Important: New ShapeLog Strength Training API

Developers of digital health and fitness products now have access to a rich new dataset: ShapeLog’s strength training data is now available to partners via the ShapeLog API. The data is standardized, portable, and consumable by any app, wearable, or software platform where users track strength training performance.

APIs are like offensive linemen – boring but important. Fitness APIs provide the raw materials that trainers, coaches, club owners, equipment manufacturers, and athletes need to create digital products and experiences. Steps, cycling, heart rate, and running data have been available via API for years. This is the first time strength training data has been available in this highly-consumable form.


Here’s what the ShapeLog API can do for fitness clubs:

Asset Management APIYour Eyes & Ears on the Ground

ShapeLog helps fitness club owners understand what’s happening on the club floor. Using the ShapeLog API helps club owners operate more profitably by providing:

    • Tools to make data-driven equipment purchasing decisions
    • Data to optimize the layout of the club floor
    • Usage by machine
    • Usage by member
    • Usage by location
  • Real-time or Historical reports

Marketing Intelligence APISell More, Churn Less

Club owners can influence member behavior when they understand who is (or isn’t) doing what on the club floor. The ShapeLog API allows fitness clubs to:

    • Segment members for targeted marketing
    • Reward and encourage power users
    • Identify and reach out to members who are likely to quit
    • Offer customized programming to targets individual users
  • Sell additional services and products to existing members

Here’s how the ShapeLog API helps app developers:

Coaching APIA Personal Trainer for Everyone

Americans spend more than $10B every year on personal trainers. Evidence-based programming means designing workouts based on real data.

The ShapeLog API makes new coaching products possible:

    • Design & run workouts from their phone
    • Automatically track client progress
    • Organize classes
  • Offer more personalized attention
