Why Tracking Your Workouts Is One of the Most Important Things You Can Do at BTB

Why Tracking Your Workouts Is One of the Most Important Things You Can Do at BTB

At BTB, our goal isn’t just to help you move more — it’s to help you move forward. Whether you’re building strength, improving your cardio, or trying to feel better and function better, there’s one tool that will massively accelerate your progress:

📲 Tracking your workouts.

That’s why we use SugarWOD — a simple app that helps you log what you lifted, how hard you pushed, and how far you've come.

And while it only takes 60 seconds to use, it can completely change how you train.


Weight Training Stitsville

What Gets Measured Gets Improved

Tracking gives you clear feedback. It’s no longer just about how you felt that day — now you can see your progress in black and white:

  • Your weights are going up

  • Your times are dropping

  • Your consistency is increasing

Instead of comparing yourself to others, you’re focused on what really matters:
Being just a little better than you were yesterday.


Stength Training For Adults Stittsville

Strength Class Breakdown (Monday/Wednesday/Friday)

Our Strength program follows a simple and powerful 3-week cycle:

  • Monday = Workout A

  • Wednesday = Workout B

  • Friday = Workout C

Each of these workouts is repeated for three weeks, with the goal of progressive overload — meaning you’ll aim to lift a little heavier, move with more control, or complete more reps each time.

That’s only possible when you know what you did last time. Tracking lets you build on your past performance, not guess at it.


Adult Fitness Classes Stittsville

Engine Class Breakdown (Tuesday/Thursday)

Engine is built to challenge your lungs, legs, and mindset.

Here’s how it works:

  • Weeks 1–3: You’ll complete unique workouts.

  • Weeks 4–6: You’ll repeat those same workouts, aiming to beat your scores and improve your pacing.

The better you track during those first three weeks, the more dialed in you’ll be when it’s time to retest. And after each 6-week cycle? We bring in a fresh new round of workouts to challenge your fitness in new ways.


Why This Matters

Here’s what happens when you consistently track your workouts:

1. You Build Real Momentum

Even small wins feel huge when you can see them — and they keep you coming back.

2. You Train Smarter

You’ll stop guessing and start making intentional progress.

3. You Stay Focused on Your Journey

SugarWOD lets you celebrate your personal bests — not anyone else’s. And that’s the most important part.

4. You Join a Supportive Community

You can cheer on other members and share your wins. When one of us wins, we all win.


How to Start Tracking with SugarWOD

If you haven’t already:

  1. Download SugarWOD from the App Store or Google Play.

  2. Join “Between The Bumpers” as your gym.

  3. After each class, log what you lifted, your time/score, and any notes.

Need help getting set up? Just ask a coach — we’re happy to walk you through it.


You vs. You

In the end, tracking is about owning your fitness journey. It’s a tool to help you stay focused, stay motivated, and keep showing up.

Because at BTB, we believe in this simple truth:
The only person you need to outwork is the person you were yesterday.

Let’s keep pushing, keep growing, and keep tracking — one workout at a time. 💪
