Import Reality

Your history does not need to stay locked in Strong.

Strong exports in your chosen weight unit but the file does not record whether that was kg or lb, so Compass asks you to confirm the unit during import.

1

Export Strong history

Download your workout history from Strong as a CSV file.

2

Import on iPhone

Open Compass, go to Settings / Tools / Import workouts (CSV), and choose the Strong export.

3

Confirm kg or lb

Compass detects the Strong format automatically and asks for the only missing detail: the weight unit.

What Carries Over

Keep the data that makes switching worthwhile.

  • Past workout history imported from your Strong CSV export.
  • Set-level data that becomes PR and trend context in Compass.
  • An easier path into templates, history review, and iPhone-native logging.

Why Compass

What improves after the switch.

  • Private by default: no social feed, public profile, or ad clutter.
  • Progressive overload templates and faster day-to-day workout logging.
  • PR chips, 1RM trends, total volume, and Apple Watch live workout support.

How To Switch

Three steps from Strong to Compass.

  1. 1
    Export your workout history from Strong as CSV.

    Start with the file Strong already gives you so the move is based on real completed sessions.

  2. 2
    Import the file inside Compass on iPhone.

    Open Settings / Tools / Import workouts (CSV), then choose the Strong export.

  3. 3
    Confirm kg or lb, preview, and save.

    Strong does not record the weight unit in the CSV, so Compass asks for that one missing detail before the history is saved.
