The Girls WODs

What are the Girls WODs?

The Girls are CrossFit's original benchmark workouts. CrossFit founder Greg Glassman gave them women's names, the way the weather service names storms, on the idea that a workout that leaves you flat on your back deserves one. Fran, Cindy, Grace and Helen are some of the most repeated workouts in any gym.

Because the workout never changes, a Girl WOD is a clean way to measure progress: do it today, log your score, and repeat it after a few months of training. Every page lists the workout and standard loads, and several include benchmark times from beginner to elite so you know where you stand.
