# How do I lift Strava's one-athlete limit?

Strava apps start in **development mode**, which limits you to one connected athlete. To support multiple athletes you must apply through Strava's developer programme via their API settings. There is no shortcut on Terra's side, and Strava controls the review timeline, so submit early.

**Setup:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Create your own app in Strava's developer portal.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Set the authorization callback domain to `access.tryterra.co` (use `api.tryterra.co` if `access` fails to validate on older dev\_ids).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add the Strava client ID and secret in the Terra dashboard under [Connections](https://github.com/tryterra/api-faqs/blob/main/dashboard/connections/README.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

One Strava app is sufficient across all [Terra environments](https://docs.tryterra.co/health-and-fitness-api/integration-setup/understanding-terra-environments); add the same `client_id`/secret to each dev\_id's Strava connection.

To speed approval, submit a clear app description plus screenshots of your own product's connection flow and Strava branding (not the Terra dashboard), and mention that you use Terra as your aggregator.

Once approved, your existing setup works as-is with the higher limit.
