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 Squat Snatches

    The dumbbell squat snatch is a full-body Olympic lift that takes a dumbbell from the floor to overhead in one explosive motion—ending in a full overhead squat. A staple in dumbbell squat snatch workouts, this movement blends strength, mobility, and technical precision.

    In this workout, dumbbell squat snatches develop explosive hip power, shoulder stability, and unilateral control. The squat demands mobility and balance, while the snatch phase trains speed and coordination. It's a high-skill movement that delivers power and poise with every rep.

  • 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.

  • ghd sit up

    The GHD sit-up (Glute-Ham Developer sit-up) is a high-range core movement that develops abdominal strength, hip flexor power, and midline control. Common in advanced GHD sit-up workouts, it extends beyond the typical sit-up range, demanding more from your entire trunk.

    In this workout, GHD sit-ups train explosive core strength, spinal control, and endurance, making them ideal for building gymnastic capacity and resilience. When used properly, the GHD sit-up is a powerful tool for high-level core development.

  • dumbbell clean and jerk

    The dumbbell clean and jerk is a dynamic, full-body lift that moves a dumbbell from the ground to overhead in two explosive phases. Common in dumbbell clean and jerk workouts, it challenges coordination, strength, and stability—especially when performed unilaterally or for high reps.

    In this workout, dumbbell clean and jerks train explosive power, overhead control, and core engagement. They also develop shoulder and hip resilience while reinforcing proper movement patterns under fatigue. Whether used in strength work or metcons, this lift is functional, scalable, and highly effective.
