How to Import Your Strong App Data Into Ironside

To move your workout history from Strong to Ironside, export a CSV from Strong (Settings → Export Data), then open Ironside → You → Settings → My Data → Import CSV and select the file. Your workouts, exercises, sets and reps come across, and your PR, volume and 1RM charts are recalculated on your device.

Step 1: Export your CSV from Strong

1. Open the Strong app on your phone.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Export Data.
4. Save the CSV file somewhere you can find it: the Files app, iCloud Drive, or share it to yourself.

Strong exports your complete workout log as a single CSV file. You don't need Strong Pro to export your data.

Step 2: Import into Ironside

1. Open Ironside and go to the You tab.
2. Tap Settings → My Data.
3. Tap Import CSV and choose the file you exported from Strong.

You can also import during onboarding when you first install Ironside, or from the Home empty state.

Heads up: importing replaces your existing local workout history in Ironside. If you've already logged workouts in Ironside that you want to keep, export them first (You → Settings → My Data → Export CSV) before importing.

What comes across

Here's what comes across from your Strong export:

• Workouts: every session with its date.
• Exercises: matched to Ironside's exercise library.
• Sets and reps: your set-by-set log.

Once the import finishes, Ironside recalculates your estimated 1RM, volume and PR trend charts from the imported history, and plateau and momentum insights use it too.

Will my PRs transfer?

PRs aren't stored as separate records in the CSV. They're derived from your set data. Ironside recalculates your personal records, estimated 1RM history and all-time bests from the sets you import.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

Your CSV isn't uploaded. Ironside is local-first: the CSV is processed entirely on your device, and your workout history is stored on your device. There's no account, no cloud sync to Ironside servers, and no upload step anywhere in the import flow.

Coming from another tracker?

The same flow works for other apps: Ironside imports CSV exports from Hevy, FitNotes, JEFIT, and generic CSVs with date, exercise, and rep columns. See how Ironside compares as a Hevy alternative or a Strong alternative, or browse the Help & FAQ for more on importing and exporting.
