Keep It Constantly Varied with the Best CrossFit Apps (2025)

If you’re looking for a workout app that can do all things CrossFit, you should take a look at our pick for the best overall CrossFit app, Beyond the Whiteboard, available on Apple and Android devices. For athletes, the mobile app will allow workout tracking of different strength workouts, as well as metcons, AMRAPs, EMOMs, and benchmark WODs. The base subscription price also includes a workout log and access to a fairly large social community.

I tried out Beyond the Whiteboard for logging my weightlifting workouts, and I give the app a 4.5 out of 5 for its user-friendly functionality and ease of use. There’s a lot you can do on it, so navigation on the app might be overwhelming at first, but I got used to it in a short time.

Athletes can also find CrossFit training programs and templates, developed by professional coaches and trainers, such as PRVN or Westside Barbell strength programs. These programs will cost extra, though—either a monthly subscription or one-time purchase, depending on the program. 

With your membership, you’ll get CrossFit.com mainsite workouts as well as several programs from VNR (Varied, Not Random). They have tracks for beginning, intermediate, and advanced CrossFit athletes, as well as dumbbell-only and bodyweight-only programming.

CrossFit affiliates can also use Beyond the Whiteboard as their platform for programming. Gym owners will be able to provide members with an access code to share workouts, where they can log their performances and results with other members.

There’s a great level of instruction behind movements if you’re logging your own workouts, as each exercise has a description and brief video showing the movement being performed. I give the level of instruction in the app a 4 out of 5. Additional programs also describe in depth what the goal of each training cycle is, and what the focus of individual workouts should be. 

CrossFit already focuses on variety in its program design, but for the CrossFit enthusiast who likes to change it up day to day, there’s SmartWOD. This great app is a WOD generator that can be customized to the available equipment you have, or to certain skills and movements to focus on. You can also filter out movements, like selecting pull-up bars for equipment, but deselecting muscle-ups for exercises.

GGR product tester Amanda Capritto tried out SmartWOD and says it’s a fun app, especially for the functional fitness lover on the move. “You select what equipment you have access to and then press a little spinner button, and it generates a random workout,” she says. “This is such a fun idea for travel because you can choose bodyweight movements or just dumbbells—or whatever you have in your hotel gym—and it’ll spit out a quick, fun workout!”

This is all in the free version, but the price of the premium version isn’t too much, at $2.50 per month. Still, Amanda does add that “The upgrade features aren’t super compelling—access to warm-up videos, bookmarking and favoriting capabilities, and more filtering options. It’s amazing what you can get from just the free version.” She rates both the pricing and the value a 5 out of 5.

While the app is great at creating workouts from your equipment needs and the skills you want to master, the app has no features to hold you accountable or connect you with a community, earning a 1 out of 5 in accountability and in interactive features. If you’re not needing an app to keep you motivated, then this app is great for getting a quick metcon in during your daily routine.

If you’re new to CrossFit, Street Parking is one of the best online workout programs to try out. It’s a fantastic option in that every workout in its programming has four versions available: A, B, and C workouts, and then the SHIFT program. The first three workouts modify the workout based on equipment needs, and the SHIFT program scales down the program for beginners.

The mindfulness of the programming for Street Parking—making adjustments based on skill levels, equipment, and gym space available—really shows the program trying to make functional fitness and high-intensity training accessible to everyone. The level of instruction for each workout is also great, as coaches explain the stimulus and focus for each exercise and workout. This earns it a 5 out of 5 for instruction.

Each CrossFit workout aims to be between 15 and 25 minutes, but they also have optional strength, mobility, and skill work to perform. If you keep up with this, you’ll have a well-rounded program that’ll help beginners develop and hone their CrossFit skills.

While the program doesn’t have a free trial, Street Parking does offer a week of sample workouts on their website, which will show all available scaling options and workout descriptions. At only $19 a month, this is also one of the more inexpensive CrossFit programs available, too. Still, apologies to Android users; Street Parking is only available to those with iPhones.

Developed by 2008 CrossFit Games champion and longstanding Games competitor Jason Khalipa, Train Hard is a fantastic program for athletes looking for a bit more challenge. Expert product tester and founder of Garage Gym Reviews Coop Mitchell tried it for a month and rated his experience a 5 out of 5, saying it helped push him out of his comfort zone.

“I wasn’t expecting to get bitten by the more CrossFit style training bug, but I think I might be converting to either CrossFit or Functional Bodybuilding going forward,” Coop says.

Train Hard offers three workout programs: Force (a CrossFit-style program), Flex (a bodybuilding workout, and functional training hybrid), and EMOM (every minute on the minute). The gym equipment demands vary based on which program you pick. “FORCE programming is the more traditional CrossFit lifts and movements (minus the gymnastic movements thankfully) so you will need the typical equipment one would find in a CrossFit box gym,” Coop says.

Another reason we recommend this for advanced athletes is the instructions are geared toward them. Coop’s no CrossFit expert, so there were a couple of times he had to Google certain movements or instructions. He also found that the countdown clock used in EMOM stops if you switch out of the app, which can be annoying.

On the bright side, he appreciates the versatility offered by the Flex program. This programming was a lot of fun and adding move functional movements that your bro splits don’t usually have, which was a huge plus to me personally,” he says.

When I coached CrossFit classes, I always had athletes come up and ask what stretches they could do for tight shoulders, hips, or backs. Mobility exercises have always been a necessity with the variety of exercises in CrossFit. For those wanting to improve on that realm, there’s GOWOD, our pick for the best CrossFit app for mobility.

One of my favorite features of this app was its ease of use, as I rate it a 5 out of 5. After creating an account, you’re taken to some basic mobility routines for different needs or times of the day. You can choose a routine to do while at the office, in the morning or evening, or before or after a workout. From there, you can adjust the amount of time and the mobility equipment you have available to you—foam rollers, massage guns, or bands—and it will customize a mobility workout for you.

Furthermore, the app provides an optional mobility assessment to pinpoint specific problem areas and further personalize your mobility workouts. The assessment takes a little over 10 minutes, and I found it to be accurate. It labeled my priorities as shoulders and overhead positioning—a funny thing to say as an Olympic weightlifter, but I know that I have a strong overhead position in spite of overhead mobility.

For those unsure about the program, the app offers a 14-day free trial, as well as three free sample workouts prior to signing up. You can set up notifications and schedule reminders to keep you accountable, earning a 4 out of 5 in this aspect. Still, there are no interactive features with any community, so if you’re looking for online support in your mobility efforts, this may not be the app for you.

If you’re needing an AMRAP or Tabata workout on the fly and are looking for an inexpensive option, WOD Roulette is a great app with a budget-friendly price. The app comes with a free version with full functionality and ads. The only payment you can make is optional, to get rid of the ads, which is a one-time payment of $0.99.

“I don’t understand how this will continue to make money, it’s so cheap. A one-time purchase of 99 cents is worth it for sure,” GGR Everything lead reviewer Lindsay Scheele says on the value of the app, rating it a 5 out of 5. 

“The app has pretty decent workouts. I tried a few last week, and my legs were jelly after each one,” Lindsay continues. WOD Roulette provides a random WOD from their pool of workouts each day, and also provides scaling options in the form of easy, medium, and hard versions of the workouts. Lindsay rates the ease of use on the app another 5 out of 5.

While it’s inexpensive and easy to use, the app does fall short in any level of instruction, and Lindsay rates it a 1 out of 5. “This isn’t a beginner app; you’ll need to have some basic knowledge of CrossFit movements and how the workouts work going into it,” Lindsay says. “No video or audio instructions are provided with the WOD.”

One of the biggest draws in CrossFit gyms is the community and social aspect of people mutually enduring tough workouts. For the fitness lover who enjoys the support of others, there’s SugarWOD. This app provides the CrossFit mainsite workout each day, and connects you with other users to perform and record results. You’re able to comment and like other people’s workouts, as well.

In addition to logging your own workouts or tracking the mainsite Workout of the Day, SugarWOD can connect you with a CrossFit gym you’re a member of, where you can record your daily workouts, too. While the app is free to athletes and coaches, gym owners will have to pay to use the service for their gym. The price is dependent on the number of members, starting as low as $5, but progressing to nearly $200 a month for larger memberships.

The community aspect is great for individual athletes, as each user can post their own workouts and receive likes—called “fist bumps”—from other users. The app also allows you to compare results on daily workouts, which will encourage those looking for a bit of friendly competition. When logging workouts, the app will also record benchmarks and personal records. SugarWOD’s interactive features get a 5 out of 5.

In addition to workout tracking and community, the app also has a workout timer to help you with WOD countdowns. Not every CrossFit app has a timer, so it is a nice touch.

The main drawback of the app is that navigation can be a bit clunky. At first, I often found myself clicking tabs back and forth just to find where things were. When I tried to log a workout, it took me about 10 minutes just to find where the log book was; it was under my profile tab. The ease of use earned a 3 out of 5 from me, as I think the placement of certain parts of the app could be improved.

While not an app made specifically for CrossFit, MyFitnessPal can track all things important to a CrossFit athlete. Not only can this health app stand in as a WOD tracker, but you can also track nutritional information, such as macronutrients. Additionally, you can track measurements, strength gains, and more. Basically, whatever you’re looking to track or chart, MyFitnessPal can help you achieve it.

GGR head of content Kate Meier has used MyFitnessPal for five years on and off now and thinks one of its strongest features is its ease of use, rating it a 5 out of 5. She says, “I think this is one of the easiest apps I’ve ever used. I love how clean the interface is, and it’s super user-friendly.”

While primarily a food tracker, Kate adds, “You can input just about any goal by setting progress goals and tracking them in a ‘progress tab.’” You can add water tracking and exercise tracking, as well.

For a CrossFit user, MyFitnessPal can help you track macros throughout the day, and can help athletes see if they’re meeting their goals each day. “MyFitnessPal has always been a good check-in tool for me to make sure I’m getting enough protein, or if I want to see how I’m doing on macros,” says Kate. “I have gone through spurts where I want to lose weight, so I’ll use it for a few months at a time, and it has always been incredibly effective.”

There are a lot of features and things to track on MyFitnessPal, which earns it a 4 out of 5, although the amount of tracking features might be overwhelming to some. If you’re just looking for a workout logbook, then MyFitnessPal probably isn’t the best option. However, if you’re interested in tracking the important things outside the gym as well as in the gym, this can be a great option.
