From Strong, in a few minutes.
How far this is tested. Quietlift checks its Strong importer automatically against files in Strong’s layout that it writes itself. It has not yet been tried on a wide range of real Strong exports, so keep your original file until your numbers look right, and write to us if something is off.
Export your workouts from Strong as a CSV file, open it in Quietlift, say whether the weights are kg or lb, import. It is free, it has no limits, and the file is read on your phone and never uploaded.
1. Export from Strong
- In Strong, open Settings.
- Choose Export Strong Data (on Android it may read Export Data) and pick CSV.
- Save the file where your phone can open it: the Files app on iPhone, Downloads on Android, or a cloud drive app such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.
Menu names are Strong’s and can change between Strong versions. If you don’t see the item, look for an export or data section in Strong’s settings.
2. Import into Quietlift
- On first launch, the second screen is Bring your history. Tap Import a Strong-format CSV. Already past it? Use More › Your data › Import a file.
- Pick the CSV you exported. Quietlift recognises a Strong file by its columns.
- Say kg or lb. Strong’s file doesn’t say which unit its weights are in, so the preview asks once, under Weights in this file. Pick the unit you used in Strong. If the file does carry a unit column, that wins.
- Read the preview: how many workouts it found, the date range, and the exercises and sets.
- Check the exercise names under To review. Each one can be matched to an exercise in Quietlift’s library, or kept as your own custom exercise.
- Leave Create routines on if you want a routine for each workout name, built from its most recent session. Turn it off if you don’t.
- Tap Import. It happens in one go: either everything goes in, or nothing does.
- Look at your top lifts. Keep the original CSV until you are happy with them.
Changed your mind? More › Your data has an Undo for each import for 30 days. It removes exactly what that import added.
What carries over
- Every workoutWith its name, date and duration.
- Every setWeight, reps, time, distance and RPE where the file has them, in the order you did them.
- Set typesWarm-up, drop and failure markers are kept.
- Exercise notesThe note on each exercise in a workout.
- RoutinesStrong’s export holds workouts, not templates, so Quietlift rebuilds one routine per workout name from its latest session. Optional.
- Personal recordsWorked out again from your full history, so your records carry over.
What doesn’t
- SupersetsStrong’s CSV does not mark them, so exercises come in one after another. You can group them again in a routine.
- Workout notesThe note on a whole workout is not imported. Notes on exercises are.
- Body measurementsNot read from the export. Quietlift has a body-weight log you can start fresh.
- Templates as suchNot in the export. Routines are rebuilt from your workouts, as above.
No limits on what you bring
Routines and custom exercises are unlimited on the free version, so bring as many as your history has.
Something didn’t work
- The weights look 2.2 times too big or too smallThe unit was picked wrong. Undo the import in More › Your data, import again, and pick the other unit.
- “Everything in this file is already in Quietlift”You imported this file before. Workouts already in Quietlift are left out, so nothing is doubled.
- Anything elseWrite to [email protected].
