What is an "EMOM" workout?

An EMOM workout stands for "Every Minute on the Minute" — a time-based training format where you perform a specific number of reps or a short workout at the start of every minute, then rest for the remainder of that minute.

In a typical EMOM CrossFit workout, you'll rotate through one or more movements (like squats, push-ups, or barbell lifts) for a set number of minutes. Whether it’s 10, 20, or 30 minutes long, an EMOM builds consistency, pacing, and work capacity.

Why Choose an EMOM CrossFit Workout?

Trains intensity with structure — no wasted time
Builds work/rest awareness and sustainable pacing
Easy to scale for beginners or advanced athletes
Perfect for developing movement quality under fatigue

EMOM workouts are ideal for strength training, conditioning, or skill development, and they work in both solo and group settings. Whether you're doing a bodyweight circuit or barbell cycling, an EMOM workout keeps you moving with purpose.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

Handstand Walk
Handstand walks are an advanced gymnastics skill where the athlete walks on their hands while maintaining balance and control in an inverted position. A centerpiece in many handstand walk workouts, this movement tests upper-body strength, core stability, and full-body coordination.
In this workout, handstand walks develop shoulder endurance, wrist strength, and spatial awareness. They demand focus and skill under fatigue, making them ideal for gymnastic skill progressions or high-level competitive conditioning.
Double under
The double under is a jump rope skill where the rope passes under your feet twice per jump, building coordination, speed, and cardiovascular endurance. It’s a popular movement in high-intensity double under workouts, often used to spike heart rate and improve timing under fatigue.
In this workout, double unders challenge your footwork, rhythm, and breathing, making them a key tool for improving overall conditioning. Whether you're linking sets or working on consistency, double unders are a fast-paced way to level up your engine.
wall walk
The wall walk is a challenging bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, core stability, and coordination. Popular in gymnastics-style training and wall walk workouts, it requires control and confidence moving upside down.
In this workout, wall walks train overhead pressing strength and midline engagement while developing skills for handstand-based movements. Whether scaled or RX, the wall walk is a highly effective way to build upper body endurance and body awareness.
Single under
The single under is a jump rope movement where the rope passes under your feet once per jump. It’s a foundational skill often used in warm-ups, scaling options, or high-rep single under workouts to build coordination, rhythm, and cardio endurance.
In this workout, single unders provide a low-impact, accessible way to boost heart rate and improve timing. Whether you're just starting out or mixing them with more complex skills, the single under is a valuable movement for all fitness levels.
pistol squat
The pistol squat is a challenging single-leg movement that builds leg strength, balance, mobility, and core control. Frequently featured in pistol squat workouts, it’s a true test of bodyweight control and unilateral stability.
In this workout, pistol squats improve coordination, ankle flexibility, and muscular endurance, especially under fatigue. Whether performed RX or scaled with assistance or to a box, the pistol squat adds intensity and precision to any functional fitness session.
