Yup, you read that right… Daybreak CrossFit now has its own Alexa Skill. One of our techie-est members, Willis, shot me a note about the concept of avoiding the hassle of logging into his phone or laptop to get the next day’s news and WOD. Instead, he suggested it would be waaaaaay cool if he could just ask Alexa. A couple of googles, a few lines of code and a handful of margaritas later, I built Daybreak its very own Alexa Skill!

Simply click on the photo below or to the right (in our sidebar) to enable the skill, or go to your Alexa app and search skills for Daybreak CrossFit. Once enabled, you only need to say: “Alexa, open Daybreak CrossFit” … and you’ll be read the news and daily WOD. You can pause and play by saying “Alexa, pause” and “Alexa, resume.” Or just say “Alexa, stop” when you’re done for the day. You can also ask for the previous or next post by saying “Alexa, previous” or “Alexa, next”.

To allow our members to more easily take advantage of this cool new innovation (and based on member survey feedback), we are now posting the workouts even earlier the night before! Kindly give our skill a review if you find it useful. And by the way, this wasn’t designed to let you more easily cherry pick the WODs… because if you do, Mel knows. And she will find you…
