GymAdapt: lifting on the Crunch floor, planned and progressed
Crunch+ is great for classes. On the weight floor, GymAdapt writes the plan for your goal and days, shows a video for every exercise, logs each set and raises your weights as you get stronger. Get GymAdapt free on the App Store →
Crunch clubs usually have free weights and dumbbells (often up to around 125 lb), power and squat racks or half-rack platforms, selectorized machines, cardio, a turf functional area and the HIITZone for coached high-intensity classes. Crunch+ is built around classes and programs; for a progressive lifting plan you want a tracker that remembers every set.

A 3-day Crunch Fitness workout plan

|---|---|
| Day 1 · Full body A | Back squat 3 x 6-8 (rack) · dumbbell bench press · lat pulldown · dumbbell Romanian deadlift · cable crunch |
| Day 2 · Full body B | Leg press · seated cable row · dumbbell shoulder press · leg curl machine · sled push 4 x 20 m (turf) |
| Day 3 · Full body C | Dumbbell reverse lunge · incline dumbbell press · one-arm dumbbell row · hip thrust · triceps pushdown + curl |

How to progress
- Use the rep range. Start with a weight you can lift for the bottom of the range with good form.
- Add reps, then weight. When every set hits the top of the range, go up 2.5-5 lb (1-2.5 kg) next time.
- Stop 1-2 reps short of failure on most sets.
- Run it 6-8 weeks before changing exercises.
Crunch tips
- Pair lifting with classes, not instead of them. Lift 3 days, take a HIITZone or cycling class on a 4th.
- No free rack? Swap the back squat for a goblet squat or leg press and keep the plan moving.
- Log every set. Track your Crunch workouts in GymAdapt →
