Open Athlete Was Born
In early October 2025, Strava sued Garmin, demanding they stop selling devices. This event crystallized what many of us already knew: the fitness ecosystem is broken. Our training data, our communities, and our athletic journeys shouldn't be controlled by faceless corporations prioritizing profits over athletes.
We need the community to take over.
Open Athlete is being built as an open-source fitness platform—a modern alternative to Strava, Runna, and TrainingPeaks that puts athletes first, without compromising on usability or experience.
What We're Building
- True multi-sport support: Understanding how strength training impacts your running performance. All activities contribute to one holistic fitness view.
- Rich multiplayer experience: First-class support for run clubs, coaching, and exercising with friends anywhere.
- Data ownership: Import your complete training history from other platforms into one place you control.
- Open and extensible: Built transparently with the community, for the community.
This is just the beginning. We're building the operating system for your fitness—join us.
