What Are GWODs?

Greatist Workouts of the Day (affectionately called “GWODs”) are high-quality, comprehensive strength and conditioning programs anyone can use. GWODs were created after Greatist.com readers expressed their frustration at a lack of quality fitness programming accessible to the average gym goer — not just the most “elite” or “hardcore” individuals among us. So we partnered with some of the best minds in the health and fitness industry to create killer workouts we could give our readers — for free (we think you'll agree that's a good price).

Just come to the site for each day’s workout. We've got three options: 2, 3, and 4 day per week programs to fit people's varying levels of commitment. Only have time or want to work out twice a week? Great, we've got you covered. Looking for a more advanced 4 day per week program? Perfect. We’ve even programmed in rest days, so follow along with the site and you’ll be all set.

With GWODs, the question “What should I do at the gym today?” finally has an answer. But that doesn’t mean these are programmed randomly. While this is a “workout of the day,” GWODs should be seen as a long-term, progressive training method that will ultimately take the trainees through various training phases and strength qualities. GWODs will expose you to a lot of fun, effective exercises and protocols that are meant to be progressive and safe. And did we mention they're free?

GWODs will get you stronger and fitter, and we bet you'll start feeling a lot more confident, too (so get ready to get your swag on). And hey, looking better can't hurt, right? Most importantly, we’ll make sure you’re getting the advice and guidance necessary to help at every step.

Welcome to GWODs. We're pumped to have you on board.
