MINDBODY Links With Strava

San Luis Obispo-based MINDBODY, the online booking site for fitness classes and spas, has linked up with athletic app and social network developer Strava, the two said on Monday. According to the two, they have connected through Strava's "Gym & Studio Sync" program, which will let athletes track participation in fitness classes and wellness services offered via MINDBODY's app and website. According to the two, the integration means Strava athletes can discover new classes through friends' activities feeds. Financial details of the integration between Strava and MINDBODY were not announced. MINDBODY--one of the biggest startup success stories to emerge out of California's Central Coast in the last few years, and which essentially put San Luis Obispo on the tech map--offers up an online service, including both a website and app, which lets people find, book, and pay for wellness services, yoga classes, workout classes, and other similar services, and also helps those wellness service providers manage their businesses, market their services, and even accept payments and handle billing.
