Read full description

CBC Fitness Club's programming, on your phone. CBC Training gives you each day's session ready to go: block by block, with the loads, reps and standards our coaches set. Train at the club, at your local gym or anywhere you have a barbell โ€” the plan is the same. FOUR PROGRAMS โ€ข CBC CrossFit โ€” the flagship programming: strength, weightlifting, gymnastics and conditioning, constantly varied. โ€ข Hyrox โ€” specific preparation for your next race, in blocks aimed at a date. โ€ข FullBody โ€” strength and muscle with a clear structure, plus a short metabolic piece to close. โ€ข Method โ€” the club's experience condensed into daily programming that builds your base. TODAY'S SESSION, STEP BY STEP Open the app and see what's on today. Go through it block by block, with the coach's notes where they matter and movement videos one tap away. LOG WHAT YOU LIFT Kilos, reps, rounds and times, set by set. When the coach prescribes a percentage, the app works it out from your record: you see "70%" and, below it, the kilos that are yours. YOUR PROGRESS, WITHOUT SPREADSHEETS Records for the base lifts, strength and body-weight curves, weekly streak, consistency map and how your work splits between strength, gymnastics, monostructural and functional. OFFLINE TOO The day's session is kept on your phone and whatever you log syncs by itself when the signal comes back. In the club basement, in a garage or travelling โ€” you keep training. IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH The whole app, coach's notes included. CBC Training requires an account and an active membership to access the programs.
