WOD logging app

It seems like there are a few different options for logging your CrossFit WODs on the app store, just curious to see if any of you have tried them and what your thoughts are. Here are three that look promising...

WOD — Workout Logger

myWOD — All-in-One WOD Log for XF Workouts (NOT AFFILIATED WITH CrossFit Inc)

    I love myWOD.

    One feature I liked was the ability to transfer data between IOS devices (another app I looked at had a monthly charge for this privilege). All of the "common" workouts are preloaded. They have some travel workouts identified if you have limited access to equipment. You can also set up a feed from the Crossfit mainpage, to pull in the front page workouts. There are built in timers, and the iPad version even has videos of all the movements.


    WOD - Workout Logger was the one that you had to pay a monthly fee to synch data. It worked well, but I found that obnoxious.

    I use beyondthewhiteboard. It's both an app and a site. You can either log your wods yourself or many gyms like mine post there's to that site every day so I am able to log whatever my box is doing that day. Through my gym it was free as a part of our membership.

    Another vote for myWOD! Especially once I figured out I could use my box's rss feed to load the WOD's.

    I have not tried using any apps, honestly. My FitBit gives me my TDEE, which I reduce by 10% to determine how much to eat on an average day. On workout days, my TDEE is higher, so I eat more, but I don't log my workouts. I'd like to at some point in the future, but I'm just not mentally prepared to do so at this time.

    eta: redundancy of the word "honestly." Sometimes it's like I just pepper my conversation with it as filler.

    I don't log my calorie count for my workouts, I do the same thing you do with eating at TDEE - 10% (although I use a calculator, I don't have a fitbit!). myWOD is just a way to keep track of WHAT you did, along with PR's, max lifts, etc.

    TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure.

    My box has an awesome website with it integrated. He posts the WOD and then you just plug in your numbers. I love it! He'll post the WOD and I will go up and see what my PR is for it and always to to best myself. An awesome tool to help me to keep raising the bar for myself!

    I dig it! I have a sweet Star Wars journal in which I log all my workouts and things. That's what started me doing WoDs and actually working out again--I asked my sister for some workouts that were interesting but had certain constraints. So she herself wrote in the first 40 days or so, and we've been adding to it ever since. One day I'll be out of pages :)

    (Also, as a little bonus, sometimes I get neat Star Wars stickers on days that I feel I did really well. Yes, I am an adult who pays on a mortgage--but they're really fun!)

    I was using WOD but our box is in transition to beyond the whiteboard (AWESOME).

    The other day, I almost bought happy zombie knee socks to wear while WOD'ing. You'll find no judgement here.

    That's awesome! I have toe-shoes right meow, but I'm thinking the next pair of shoes I get will need to be "regular" so I can get some sweet tall socks!

    Also, I got a sticker for last night's progress. :D It was Anakin Skywalker in the opening stance of Ataru. Kiiiiiind of made me feel like a badass...

    Can't wait to hear it! When I go into maintenance, I'm definitely going to be looking at this app.

    myWOD +1

    but if you do;t mind paying, WODbox is pretty good too.
