45 Realistic CrossFit Goals to Help You Thrive | CrossFit Goals List

This is a CrossFit goals list to help you determine the best goals for your own CrossFit journey!

Wondering what are some workout goals for CrossFit? We’ve got you covered here!

I’ve personally been doing CrossFit for just under 4 years (at the time of writing this post) and I know for a fact that the reason I’ve been successful in the sport so far is because my box has encouraged me to set specific goals every single year.

Everyone’s journey is different and, therefore, everyone’s goals will be different. Pick a couple goals (or even just one goal) that suits you well and run after it!

I hope you’re inspired by this CrossFit goals list.

CrossFit Goals List and Tips

What is the End Goal of CrossFit?

The end goal of CrossFit is to improve fitness. Period. That’s all it really boils down to…

However, there are so many unmentioned goals and successes you get to meet along the way such as improved mental health, having fun, creating memories, and enjoying awesome community!

Gymnastics and Skills CrossFit Goals List

With any of the goals on these lists, feel free to swap the numbers out for a number that makes more sense for you!

For example, if you’ve already gotten one muscle-up, maybe you make your goal to do 3 unbroken muscle-ups this year!

If you’ve never done a single strict pull-up with no assistance, then make it your goal to get ONE this year (or within the next 6 months)! 💪🏼

• Do one muscle-up this year.
• Do 10 unbroken strict pull-ups this year.
• Do 50 unbroken push-ups this year.
• Hit 50 double unders in a row by X date.
• Hit 100 double unders this year.
• Perform 10 consecutive double unders with a drag rope this month.
• Walk 50′ on your hands by X date.
• Walk 100′ on your hands this year.
• Hit 10 consecutive pistol squats this year.
• Do 30 consecutive GHD sit-ups by the end of the year. (Make sure you’re working up to this slowly over time to prevent rhabdo.)
• Do 10 consecutive toes to bar by the end of X month.
• Do 100 consecutive sit-ups by the end of the year.
• Do a 1-minute handstand hold within the next 90 days.
• Perform your first handstand push-up within the next 90 days.
• String together 10 unbroken strict handstand push-ups this year.
• Do 10 wall walks in under 1 minute.

Lifting CrossFit Goals List

As far as CrossFit lifting goals go, don’t be afraid to get creative! Your goal could be a certain 1RM (like the examples below) or you could go for a certain 5RM, 10RM, or even a 20RM…

It’s all about how you want to challenge your body! Have fun with it! 🎉

• Snatch your body weight in the next 2 years.
• Bench press your bodyweight this year.
• Clean your bodyweight this year.
• Hit X pound power clean by X date.
• Hit X pound squat clean by X date.

Cardio and Endurance CrossFit Goals List

Take any cardio movement or erg and easily turn it into a goal by following this simple formula:

How far you want to go + in how much time you want to do it.

• Hit a new record time on your 1-mile run (example: run a mile in under 8 minutes by X date.)
• Hit a new box jump height by X date.
• Row 500 meters in under 2 minutes by X date.

Miscellaneous and Fun CrossFit Goals List

Here’s a list of fun and random CrossFit goals to spruce things up! You can also check out this fitness goals list that holds about 40+ more fitness goal ideas!

• Complete Murph this year for the first time with a vest!
• Complete an IronMan this year.
• Complete a half IronMan this year.
• Run a half marathon this year.
• Do a Spartan Race this year.
• Reach full squat-depth (breaking parallel) within the next 3 months.

CrossFit Benchmark WODs

Another approach to choosing CrossFit goals could be to set a new goal for a benchmark WOD.

Here is an entire list of benchmark WODs to give you ideas!

I always think Murph is the perfect benchmark WOD to set a new goal for because we do it once a year in the Crossfit world… And A LOT can happen in a year! (You could literally go from scaled to completely RX in a year.)

So, if in doubt, try and hit a new Murph time PR this year!
