We find that gyms most often try SugarWOD and Beyond the Whiteboard (BTWB). BTWB was the first online workout tracking tool — they’ve been around for a long time. We even started our CrossFit® careers 10 years ago by using them. In many ways, we originally built SugarWOD as an alternative to BTWB for the everyday athlete.

Built for the 99%

Most of us aren’t CrossFit Games competitors. We’re people looking to stay healthy, challenge ourselves, and have fun. That’s why SugarWOD is made for the 99% of athletes.

Instead of focusing on deep workout analysis that only Games athletes need, SugarWOD is built to support:

  • Community Participation: We believe that community and coach support are critical to a CrossFit athlete’s success.
  • Physical Progress: Whether someone can deadlift more than the next person isn’t the point — people want consistent improvement supported by your gym and fellow athletes.
  • Human Connection: The app is designed to drive encouragement and community support to connect your athletes.

The app makes it super easy for athletes to prepare for workouts, enter results, and encourage fellow CrossFitters.

"It's very user friendly, and I really like how it makes me acknowledge that 'I'm awesome' when I reach a new PR. My cousins live in a different state and go to different boxes, and I appreciate that we can be 'friends' on SugarWOD and see each other's logs/posts and help hold each other accountable."

"If you're like me, you don't have all of the skills down yet. I don't yet have muscle-ups or double-unders down yet, so for people like me, this app is quite lacking since there are very few scaled options for a lot of the popular workouts (i.e., Annie)."
