What SugarWOD is
SugarWOD is workout software for fitness gyms, coaches, and athletes, centered on programming, performance tracking, and community. Gym owners can use a programming calendar, a library of thousands of workouts, and multiple programming users. Workouts can be published to gym websites, BoxTV, social media, mobile apps, and RSS or HTML feeds. Analytics cover member and coach performance, progress, participation, and scoreboards for tracked benchmarks and lifts. Athletes can log workouts, share them with friends, and interact with coaches through comments and fist bumps. The Marketplace offers programming from publishers including CompTrain, Mayhem Athlete, Invictus Fitness, OptimizeMe Nutrition, and Warmup and Workout. Third-party fitness products can integrate through the API, with Zen Planner and Daxko Exchange listed as partners. SugarWOD provides iOS, Android, web, and API access. Independent athletes can create free accounts without joining a gym, while gyms receive a 14-day all-access trial with unlimited athletes, workouts, and fist bumps.
