Better Athletes.

Stronger Affiliates.

Elegant CrossFit programming and effective workout plans designed and tested by expert coaches.

PROJECT ROOTS

The all-in-one solution to execute the workout of the day, deliver a fantastic experience, develop your coaching staff, and enable your athletes to thrive and grow over decades.

PROGRAMMING FOR YOUR EVERYDAY ATHLETE

Project Roots is programming designed for the affiliate, not the Games competitor. This population demands the same level of thoughtful planning and individualized coaching as the competitive athlete and Project Roots delivers this to the group class setting.

TIME-STAMPED WOD PLANS & COACH NOTES

A consistent and progressive workout plan improves your athletes’ experience. That’s why each WOD is paired with a full plan that includes timestamps to the minute for each component. We provide scaling options and guidance for each movement, progressions to warm-up and develop all levels of athletes, and video examples for coaches.

SKILL WORK

Skill work is critical for the improvement of your athletes. We provide daily skill work within the structure of the group class. The work focuses on the development of the skills frequently found in the Open to ensure your athletes are ready to join the community and camaraderie fostered during that time of year.

INTEGRATED BENCHMARK SERIES

Testing the fitness of your athletes in a planned & structured way has been part of CrossFit’s methodology from its inception. CrossFit Roots took this concept and created The Benchmark Series to insure a path to proper evaluation and improvement. The program provides a collection of 13 workouts scheduled on a four-month cycle to test each benchmark three times per year.

POWERED BY SUGARWOD

SugarWOD is the best programming and workout tracking solution for affiliates. That’s why we’ve partnered with them to provide our programming through their software to make your life easier.

BUILT BY THE BEST

We don’t just write programming, we make sure that it works within the structure of an hour group class. Our team takes group classes and coaches and evaluates the WOD Plans they write. Every workout and WOD Plan is tested at CrossFit Roots in our own group classes before it is published to you.

We’ve tested, proven, and refined so you don’t have to.

You know your athletes, equipment, and gym better than anyone. Execute Project Roots exactly as it’s written, or tweak it to customize for your members.

Because Every Minute Matters

A great class makes a great affiliate.

Project Roots is way more than just a list of CrossFit workouts. We provide a tested and proven minute-by-minute timestamped workout to follow, no guesswork needed.

Run your classes efficiently, on time, AND give your athletes a restroom break? 

Yes please!
