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?

  • dumbbell snatch

    The dumbbell snatch is a powerful, full-body movement that builds explosiveness, coordination, and core strength. Commonly used in CrossFit, a dumbbell snatch workout challenges both strength and endurance while training one side of the body at a time.

    In this workout, dumbbell snatches help increase intensity, improve unilateral balance, and add variety to your training. Whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete, the dumbbell snatch workout format can be easily scaled and is highly effective for total-body conditioning.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • air squat

    The air squat is a fundamental bodyweight movement that builds lower body strength, mobility, and endurance. As a key component of many air squat workouts, it targets the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core—all without equipment.

    In this workout, air squats help develop proper squat mechanics, balance, and muscular stamina, making them perfect for warm-ups, high-rep conditioning, or scaling strength-based movements.

  • dumbbell clean

    The dumbbell clean is a powerful movement that develops explosiveness, coordination, and full-body strength, using one or two dumbbells. Common in functional fitness and dumbbell clean workouts, it trains hip extension, pulling power, and control from the ground to the shoulders.

    In this workout, dumbbell cleans challenge your grip, timing, and endurance, while offering a versatile alternative to barbell lifting. Whether performed single-arm or double-arm, the dumbbell clean is ideal for building functional strength and conditioning.

  • burpee over dumbbell

    The burpee over dumbbell adds a dynamic twist to the classic burpee by including a lateral jump over one or two dumbbells. This movement increases intensity, coordination, and agility, making it a popular choice in fast-paced burpee over dumbbell workouts.

    In this workout, burpees over dumbbells push your cardio capacity, lower body explosiveness, and mental grit. Whether used in intervals or for total reps, this variation adds variety and challenge to any conditioning session.
