Favorite any WODs you like to come back to. Time and log your workouts with the Pro upgrade. I'm Brian, a dad of three and the person behind The WOD Generator. I did CrossFit for over 10 years and still do a bit, but my training has evolved a lot since: more hybrid now, with phases of calisthenics and running. The app has grown with it, which is why it has so many features, all built around functional movements and a balanced approach to training that you can keep up for years, wherever you train. I'm always looking to improve it, so please get in touch if you have any suggestions or feedback :) Categories include: - Travel - Bodyweight - Open WODs - Benchmark WODs - Hero WODs - Power - Endurance - Partner - AMRAP - EMOM - RFT - Chipper - Tabata - Kettlebell - Dumbbell - Gymnastics - Short - Lower - Upper - Full body - Ladder & pyramid - Suspension training (e.g. TRX style) - Warm-ups Features include: - Favorite WODs to access them again - Use KG or LBs, FT or metres - Full definitions, linked in WOD! - Dark mode option - %RM calculator and weight converter - No ads - Filter by the equipment you have (basic for free, advanced for Pro) - Auto-generate warm-ups (Pro) - Filter by known skills (Pro) - Injury filter to exclude body parts (Pro) - Smart WODs tailored to you based on your workout history (Pro) - Time each WOD (Pro) - Record your workouts (Pro) - Custom timer (Pro) - Custom categories (Pro) Disclaimer: - This application is not affiliated or associated with CrossFit, Inc. - The workouts, exercises, and other movements provided in this application are for informational and educational purposes only, and are not intended for use as a substitute for professional programming. - Always consult a physician or qualified healthcare provider before beginning any exercise or fitness program.
