The Take

WodBlock pairs a conversational AI 'Woddie' with purpose-built timer blocks (AMRAP, EMOM, TABATA) so you can ask for a workout by duration/intensity and hit start without fiddling with settings. The landing shows sensible extras — autosaved workouts, PR tracking and a plate calculator — which matter to coaches and regulars, but the idea isn't new and the page doesn't reveal which model or data privacy guarantees power the recommendations.

Post Description

Hi, I'm Nico. I do CF/functional workouts on a regular basis and use timers to measure my progress. These workouts usually involve a few different blocks, with different types of timers and rest in between. I couldn't find an app that would allow me to set it and forget it so I went ahead and built it myself. I soon realized entering the blocks by hand is a bit tedious, so I added coach Woddie, which allows the users to talk to set up the time and also to get recommendations for workouts of a specific duration, style, etc.
