About WODBuilders
WODBuilders exists because most athletes spend more time searching for workouts than training. We built a generator that handles programming so athletes can focus on the work. Every guide on this site is written by coaches with real credentials and real athletes behind them.
Alex Mercer
Head Coach · CrossFit L3 Trainer · Hyrox Certified Coach
I started coaching CrossFit in 2012 after spending three years as a competitive athlete trying every program I could find. Most of them were either too generic, too complicated, or written by people who had never coached a real athlete through a real plateau. I became a coach to fix that problem.
Over twelve years, I have coached athletes from their first pull-up to their first podium finish. I have prepped over 400 athletes for CrossFit competition and Hyrox races — from first-timers aiming to finish to competitive athletes targeting sub-60-minute Hyrox times. The programming principles I use are the same ones that inform every workout this generator produces.
Hyrox changed the way I think about endurance and functional fitness. Prepping athletes for their first Hyrox race — watching someone who thought they were "just a gym person" cross a race finish line — is the most consistently satisfying coaching experience I have had. The training demands are specific, the progress is measurable, and the sport rewards athletes who are willing to do the unsexy work: running, running, and more running.
Every guide on WODBuilders reflects what I would tell a coached athlete, not what sounds good in an article. If something is a common mistake, I will say it is a common mistake. If something does not work in practice, I will not pretend it does to fill a word count.

What WODBuilders Is For
WODBuilders is a free WOD generator built around the principle that programming should be accessible to any athlete, not just those who can afford a personal coach or a premium app subscription. You choose your level, your equipment, your time, and your training style — the generator handles the programming logic.
The training guides on this site are written to the same standard I apply when coaching in person: no filler, no generic advice that sounds good but does not work in a session, no hedging. If the research says something clearly, I say it clearly. If practice experience contradicts conventional wisdom, I say that too.
