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?

  • Back Squats

    The back squat is a foundational barbell lift where the load rests across the upper back while the athlete lowers into a deep squat. Central to any serious back squat workout, it develops maximal lower-body strength and total-body power.

    In this workout, back squats target the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core. The barbell placement allows for heavier loading compared to other squat variations, making it essential for strength development, athletic performance, and overall muscle growth.

  • V-up

    The V-up is a bodyweight core exercise that targets your abdominals, hip flexors, and overall midline control. It’s often used in V-up workouts to build core endurance, especially in high-rep or gymnastic-style training.

    In this workout, V-ups demand coordination, flexibility, and explosive core engagement. They’re a great alternative to sit-ups when you want more intensity and a greater range of motion — making them perfect for CrossFit and functional fitness routines.

  • bike erg

    The BikeErg is a fan-powered cycling machine that delivers a smooth, low-impact workout focused on leg power, aerobic endurance, and pacing control. Common in BikeErg workouts, it's perfect for both steady-state conditioning and high-intensity intervals.

    In this workout, the BikeErg builds quad and glute strength, while challenging your engine and recovery. Whether you're sprinting for calories or logging meters, the BikeErg is a versatile tool for improving cardiovascular fitness in a joint-friendly way.

  • 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.

  • power clean

    The power clean is a fast, explosive lift that develops full-body strength, speed, and coordination. A staple in Olympic lifting and functional fitness, it’s central to many high-intensity power clean workouts.

    In this workout, power cleans train your hip extension, pulling power, and barbell control, making them ideal for improving athletic performance and barbell cycling. Whether done heavy or for reps, the power clean is key for building functional power and explosiveness.
