I built Sabella Fitness WODs for people training for demanding jobs, and for anyone who just wants to get in better shape without overthinking it.
These workouts are simple, structured, and built around real conditioning. You’ll see things like circuits for time, EMOMs, longer aerobic days, and workouts where you earn a score at the end with a run or max effort piece. Some days are steady and paced, others are harder pushes. Everything has a purpose.
Nothing runs longer than 45 minutes. You can use this as your full program or add it in as conditioning alongside your strength work.
Most workouts use minimal equipment and everything is scalable, so you can train anywhere and adjust it to your level.
If you’re getting ready for something like the fire academy, or just want to improve your fitness and work capacity, this will get you there. Show up, follow the plan, and get to work.
