App Spotlight: Strong Girl Society — the Community-Based Training App We Love

When we talk about running a community, we usually picture a run club gathering at 6am, matching vests and a route mapped out on someone’s phone. But in 2025, community-based training has moved way beyond that. The best training apps now offer the accountability, expertise and motivation of a whole squad — right in your pocket, whenever you need it.

One app doing this brilliantly for female runners? Strong Girl Society. Here’s why we’re big fans.

What is Strong Girl Society?

Strong Girl Society (SGS) is a training app built specifically for women, with a community at its core. Loved by over 20,000 women worldwide, it’s designed to help you stay on track — effortlessly. Think of it as your fitness and wellness big sister, always in your corner.

Whether you’re working on your running, building strength, exploring Pilates, or training for a HYROX event, SGS has structured programmes to take you from where you are now to where you want to be. New workouts are added every month, so there’s always something fresh to keep things interesting.

What the App Includes

SGS is packed with features that make training smarter and more enjoyable:

Training that fits you. Running, strength, Pilates and HYROX programmes are all available in one place. You’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all plan — you train your way.

Progress analytics. Real-time performance data and deep insights help you track your improvements and understand your body better. You’ll know exactly how far you’ve come, which is one of the best motivators going.

Community support. Expert trainers and a powerful community of women are ready to cheer you on. This isn’t a solo journey unless you want it to be.

In-app challenges and real-life events. Beyond the workouts, SGS runs in-app challenges, offers incredible prizes, and hosts IRL community events so the connections you make go beyond the screen.

Personalised plans and nutrition. Membership includes personalised weekly plans and access to over 80 healthy recipes, so your fuelling is as dialled in as your training.

Why We Love It for Female Runners

Keeping up a running habit on your own is hard. Life gets busy, motivation dips, and without anyone to answer to, it’s easy to let training slide. That’s where SGS genuinely makes a difference.

The app is built around accountability. Structured running programmes give you a clear plan to follow, while the community around you keeps you showing up even on the days you don’t feel like it. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best, returning to running after a break, or simply trying to make it a consistent habit, SGS meets you where you are.

The fact that it’s built by women, for women matters too. The tone, the training approach and the community feel genuinely supportive rather than intimidating. It’s the kind of app that makes you feel like you’ve got a whole team behind you — without having to commit to a specific time slot or location.

Plans start from £7.08 per month (billed annually), with a 14-day money-back guarantee so you can try it completely risk-free.
