What is an "on-off" workout?

An on-off workout is a time-based training format where you alternate between work periods and rest periods — for example, 1 minute on, 1 minute off. In an on-off CrossFit workout, your goal is to perform as many reps as possible during the "on" phase, then recover during the "off" phase before the next interval begins.

This format helps you push hard during the work period, knowing you have built-in rest. It's especially useful for building intensity, power output, and recovery efficiency.

Why Try an On-Off CrossFit Workout?

  • Encourages maximum effort during work intervals

  • Helps improve work-to-rest ratio awareness and recovery speed

  • Perfect for training sprints, weightlifting, or gymnastics under fatigue

  • Easily adaptable to all fitness levels and time domains

Whether you're doing 30 seconds on / 30 seconds off or longer 2–3 minute intervals, an on-off workout is a powerful way to train smart and hard — one round at a time. Ideal for interval-based CrossFit workouts, EMOM-style sprints, and team formats.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • one-arm devil’s press

    The one-arm devil’s press is a brutal hybrid movement that combines a burpee, a dumbbell swing, and a snatch—all with a single arm. Common in one-arm devil’s press workouts, it blends cardio intensity with explosive strength and unilateral coordination.

    In this workout, the one-arm devil’s press develops posterior chain power, shoulder endurance, and full-body conditioning. The single-arm format increases core engagement and balance demands, making it a perfect choice for high-intensity metcons or minimal-equipment strength training.

  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • handstand push-up

    The handstand push-up is a high-skill bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, balance, and core control. Common in advanced handstand push-up workouts, it challenges your upper body like few other movements.

    In this workout, handstand push-ups develop pressing power and gymnastic control under fatigue. Whether performed strict or kipping, the handstand push-up is a true test of body awareness and upper body stamina.

  • 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.

  • push up

    The push-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that strengthens the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. A staple in any push-up workout, it’s effective, scalable, and requires no equipment — making it perfect for all fitness levels.

    In this workout, push-ups develop upper body endurance, stability, and control, especially under fatigue. Whether performed strict, hand-release, or elevated, the push-up is a timeless movement that builds strength and resilience.
