Can Watta log calorie rows from CrossFit WODs?

Yes. Watta's AI reads calorie data, distance, split time, and stroke rate from your Concept2 PM5 screen. Whether you rowed for calories or metres, the data is captured.

Does Watta track SkiErg and BikeErg too?

Yes. Watta supports all three Concept2 machines. If your box has SkiErgs or BikeErgs, you can log those sessions alongside your rowing.

Will Watta help me improve my rowing for CrossFit?

Yes. By tracking your splits, stroke rate, and Effort Scores over time, you can identify pacing patterns, set targets, and systematically improve your erg performance for WODs.

Rowing App for CrossFit Athletes: Watta is a free, AI-powered rowing workout tracker. Snap your erg screen to capture data instantly. Get a 0-100 Effort Score combining cardiac load, work output, pacing, and economy. Track heart rate zones via the Karvonen method. Join clubs and squads to train with your crew.

The Problem

Rowing data gets lost in the WOD

CrossFit athletes track lifts, gymnastics, and benchmark WODs meticulously but rarely have a record of their rowing sessions. Calorie rows, metre targets, and interval splits disappear after the session ends.

Erg technique and pacing are undertrained

Many CrossFit athletes only row during WODs and never develop proper erg technique or pacing strategy. Without tracking rowing-specific data, it is hard to improve on the rower.

General fitness trackers miss rowing details

Fitness platforms like TrainingPeaks or SugarWOD do not capture split time, stroke rate, or drag factor. They treat rowing as generic cardio, losing the metrics that matter.
