How to share CrossFit on Strava

Strava recognises CrossFit as an activity, but the default post leaves out almost everything that makes a CrossFit session interesting. This guide is the short, structured answer — what to do, how to do it, and the example you can copy.

Create your CrossFit post

Step-by-step

1Log or edit your activity. Open Strava, record or upload the session, set the activity type to CrossFit.
2Add CrossFit-specific details. Use the title and description to capture WOD name, Rx vs scaled, time / rounds, movements — Strava has no native field for these.
3Generate a visual recap. Open UPPOST, pick the CrossFit template, fill in the same fields, and download the image.
4Copy the title and caption into Strava. UPPOST writes both from your inputs — paste them into the Strava activity.
5Share the image. Attach the UPPOST recap as the Strava activity photo so the highlights are visible in the feed without anyone tapping in.

Example

Title: Fran Rx · 4:21 · 21-15-9 thrusters + pull-ups Caption: First sub-4:30 Fran. Thrusters unbroken, pull-ups 11-6-4.

Common mistakes

Leaving the title as "Morning CrossFit" — the feed shows that first, and it tells no story.
Putting WOD name only in the description. Most people never tap in; it stays invisible.
Skipping the photo. Strava posts with photos get measurably more kudos and comments.
Using a generic graphic or template. It looks the same as everyone else and does not match CrossFit-specific data.
Posting two days later. The Strava feed favours recency — same-day posts get more impressions.

FAQ

Does Strava have a CrossFit activity type?

Yes — CrossFit is one of the supported activity types on Strava. You can record it manually or upload it from a connected device or app.

Can I add WOD name to a Strava CrossFit activity?

Not as a structured field. Strava only takes free text in the title and description. That is why most CrossFit athletes use a visual recap as the cover image.

Will photos help my CrossFit post?

Yes. Strava activities with photos get measurably more engagement. A structured CrossFit recap image works even better because it summarises the session at a glance.

Is UPPOST free for CrossFit?

Your first CrossFit post is free. After that, UPPOST has a small one-time unlock that covers every supported sport.
