When the pandemic hit and we all went into lockdown, my wife and I with our newborn and 2 year old went looking for a way to keep somewhat of a workout routine in our schedule. We found a gym that was posting home-modified workouts on SugarWOD and they've been perfect for us. We want to maintain fitness - I couldn't care less if my deadlift or clean or snatch got stronger - my definition of fitness isn't my PR's. I want to be able to do things like play sports with my kids when they grow up, hike with them, run around with them for hours without feeling like dying. That's the goal and these types of apps are perfect for that. I don't have to care about what to do today, if I'm overloading a specific muscle group, if I'm taking it easy on myself because I'm a bit lazy that day. I open the app, I see what's in store and I go. We've actually talked about not going back to our regular gym when things open up again because we've enjoyed this so much and haven't lost a beat in terms of fitness. I have friends whose definition of fitness has a lot more to do with physique - and for them they absolutely would not get what they want from our routine. They need very specific programming (diet, exercise, and rest) to hit their very specific goals.
