About these reports

State of Lifting is Boostcamp's research program. We pull anonymized workout records from the community, join them to verified demographic data where it exists, and publish what the joined dataset says. We do not run surveys, and we do not infer behavior from a smaller calculator-style sample. Every report includes its methodology, sample size, and limitations.

If you write about strength training or fitness data and want to cite a finding, every report below has a press section at the bottom with downloadable assets and a clear methodology summary. Reach out via the contact page for embargoed previews of upcoming reports.
