“Fat Amy”

"Fat Amy" is a lightweight, fast-moving benchmark WOD that's been adopted by gyms and athletes all over the world since it first appeared on the internet as early as 2014. It's not clear where the name came from and boxes who program it sometimes clarify that it's "not named after any Amy in particular."

We first found this "Fat Amy" benchmark WOD posted on the thetravelingwod.com back in December, 2014. There's at least one different WOD by this same name from CrossFit Chamblee @crossfitchamblee, which was coincidentally posted around the same time, but it hasn't been as widely adopted.
