For CrossFit coaches
CrossFit coaching software for individual athletes and gym classes
Strength Academy has a WOD builder with nine formats, from For Time and AMRAP to EMOM and chippers, and every movement gets an Rx and a scaled version. Athletes choose their version, run the timer on their phone and log the score. If you run a gym, the same account plans your classes and records class scores.
How to coach CrossFit in Strength Academy
Write the WOD
Pick the format: For Time, Rounds For Time, AMRAP, EMOM, Intervals, Chipper, Ladder, Strength or Benchmark. Set the time cap, rounds or work and rest, then add movements from the library of weightlifting, gymnastics and cardio movements, or add your own.
Give every movement an Rx and a scaled version
Each movement carries an Rx and a scaled prescription with men’s and women’s loads, in kilograms or pounds. Women’s loads and calories follow the men’s by a set ratio unless you type them in.
Athletes log the score
On their phone the athlete chooses Rx or scaled, starts the timer and logs the result: a time (or that they hit the cap), rounds and reps, total reps, load, calories or distance. The score type follows the format you picked.
Run your classes from the same account
Plan a class, put it on the gym screen with the timer, and record scores for the class, labelled Rx or scaled. Members can enter their own scores too. Classes, drop-ins, class packs and memberships are on every coach plan.
What your CrossFit athletes log
Each score is saved with the version the athlete chose, so you can tell an Rx time from a scaled one. The CrossFit tab on each client shows how their training splits between gymnastics, weightlifting and cardio, and planned against completed reps.
