No Equipment WODs

At times you can find yourself away from your local box with little or no equipment to workout with. We are here to help! The following list include WODs that you can do anywhere - while travelling, in a hotel room or on the beach.

Some of the workouts below include pull-ups. You can get creative with what to use as a pull-up bar - for example, a tree, or a sturdy structure. However, if you do not have anything to pull yourself up onto, simply substitute these for dips (using the side of a chair or a bed).
