Your box's WOD, on your phone in seconds. Photograph the whiteboard and Aura turns it into a session you can train: blocks, timer and log. No typing. WHAT AURA DOES โข Scan the WOD โ one photo of the whiteboard or a screenshot and it lands structured and editable. Or import a whole week at once. โข Train on the clock โ AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, For Time, Death By, intervals and HYROX simulations. Voice, beeps and full-screen flash so you never look at your phone. โข Log it properly โ weights, reps, splits and PRs. Percentages (@70-80%) resolve to real kilos from your own numbers. โข Your box's whiteboard โ share a WOD by link. Everyone who imports it shows up with their result, just like the board at the box. โข Your progress โ tonnage, per-movement e1RM, training mix and insights on every session. WHO IT'S FOR For anyone training at a box who already has a coach's programming. Aura doesn't replace it: it gets it onto your phone, times it and keeps it. And for anyone training alone โ that's where the AI programs your week (Pro). START FREE Logging, importing and sharing are free. Plus and Pro add insights and AI programming, with a 7-day trial. Your coach never stops. You shouldn't either. Functional fitness, CrossFit, HYROX, hybrid, weightlifting, metcon, AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, strength and conditioning.

The whiteboard says "21-15-9, For Time." Or the Hyrox sim is 8 stations deep and you're juggling a stopwatch between runs. Either way you're late to the clock, thumbing through a generic timer app, retyping reps you'll never look at again. Point your camera at it instead. Moda's AI reads the workout, builds the right timer, and you start. AI THAT ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS WODS Moda is powered by a language model trained on the way workouts are actually written: the shorthand, the abbreviations, the coach's scrawl. It knows that "5 RFT" means five rounds for time, that "T2B" is toes-to-bar, and that 20/24" is a scaling, not a typo. It reads the Hyrox vocabulary just as fluently: sled push and pull, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls, ski erg, the 1 km runs between them. Give it a WOD any way you have it: โข Photo: snap the whiteboard at your box, AI reads it โข Voice: say the workout out loud, AI transcribes and structures it โข Instagram and TikTok: share a Reel or a post straight from the app Seconds later you have a structured WOD: reps, weights, time caps, rest, warm-up, all in place, with the right timer already configured. Everything stays editable before you save. You're always the final say. THE RIGHT TIMER, NOT A GENERIC ONE Every format gets a screen built for how it's actually run: โข For Time: counts up, finishes itself when you hit your round target โข AMRAP: counts down, tap your rounds, fix the count afterwards if you forgot one โข EMOM and E2MOM through E5MOM: signals every window, even with cycling movements โข Death By: the ladder climbs on its own, with a 5-second grace window so a late rep still counts โข Intervals: custom work/rest, Tabata presets included โข Cash In / Cash Out and Multi-Step: blocks chain automatically, rest between them included No more mental arithmetic mid-workout. No more "wait, what minute are we on?" KNOW IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING FITTER Every session is saved with splits per round or set. Moda spots your personal records for you and tells you the moment you break one. History, trends, a training calendar. The proof that the work is landing. MODA SCORE tells you how hard a session really was, built from your heart rate and calibrated to your own training load. Not a leaderboard number: your effort, measured against your last four weeks. Pair it with the weekly load view to see when you're building and when you're just digging a hole. YOUR APPLE WATCH BECOMES THE TIMER Run the entire session from your wrist. Live heart rate, calories, haptic taps at every round change and countdown so you never look down. Double-tap for your main action, hands free. Your favorite WODs are on the watch even when your phone is in the locker. TRAIN WITH YOUR PEOPLE Share a WOD with a QR code or a 4-character code. Everyone lands on the same leaderboard, scores post themselves when the buzzer goes. Then turn your result into a card worth posting: pick a layout, add a selfie, done. TRY IT FREE FOR 7 DAYS Unlimited AI imports, full access, no commitment. We'll remind you two days before it ends, and stopping is one tap. Whether you train CrossFit metcons, Hyrox stations, or both in the same week, Moda gets you from whiteboard to workout in seconds.
