As developers of gym management and fitness software, it’s not easy for us to pick favorites among the many helpful features and components of the WODHOPPER app.
With that said, when a feature of our gym management software can impact the experience of box owners, coaches and athletes profoundly, while upholding the values and community-based philosophy of functional fitness, we may just have to make an exception.
Of course, we’re referring to The WODHOPPER Scoreboard feature—which allows for simple, device-agnostic WOD tracking and benchmarking.
But our WOD tracking and benchmarking isn’t limited to tracking and displaying results and numbers. We created it with athlete development and flexibility for gym owners in mind.
Let’s explore the greatest functional fitness programming app around, and its countless benefits to gym owners, athletes and coaches!
Tracking functional fitness workouts has never been this easy.
The WODHOPPER Scoreboard is a one-stop shop for athletes, coaches and gym owners.
The Scoreboard visualizes the app’s benchmarking and WOD tracking capabilities, allowing athletes to easily log workouts and track results, and coaches to program workouts for athletes based on ability and past results.
Perhaps most importantly, it empowers gym owners to run an effective affiliate gym that maximizes the potential of coaches and athletes.
There are about 50 WODs pre-programmed into the app, and they are broken down into four categories:
The pre-programmed workouts include all of the key benchmark WODs in addition to the most popular hero WODs.
For coaches, creating custom daily WODs in WODHOPPER is as easy as typing them into a spreadsheet or word document. Coaches just type the details of the WOD, using as much description as they would like, and need only tap one button to select the score type.
This saves a great deal of time compared to systems which require multiple screens and have rigid categorization just to create a daily WOD.
In terms of reporting, athletes have access to see the progress in their benchmarks charted right on their smartphone.
WODHOPPER is 100% focused on the functional fitness community. Because of our software’s laser focus on functional fitness, it more easily fits into the routine of athletes, coaches and gym owners. The process coaches follow for programming WODs is straightforward and intuitive, as is the process for athletes to log their workouts and PRs.
The software’s simplicity for coaches and athletes makes the lives of gym owners easier as well, because it makes coaches more productive and effective at focusing on their core competency: training athletes. In turn, athletes become more engaged in the gym because they are seeing the results of superior coaching.
Competition is proven to drive many athletes beyond their initial expectations. Maintaining a constant level of healthy competition within your gym is essential for the growth and improvement of your athletes.
You don’t have to wait until you get to the gym to see the results of your peers up on the whiteboard. You can check the Scoreboard throughout the day to figure out where you stand and how hard you need to work to surpass your peers and get to the next level.
Everyone likes to brag from time to time. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or a novice, your peers will have a front row seat to your greatest athletic achievements.
When all athletes’ results are available for their peers to see, a natural support system comes to life.
Out of town? WODHOPPER makes it easy for athletes to communicate with each other, further building on the sense of community and friendship that every gym should embody.
This benefits both athletes and box owners, since it’s an incentive that can help boxes recruit new members.
For athletes, having free access to a tool like WODHOPPER Scoreboard is priceless. No need to open multiple fitness and workout logging apps. No need to carry around a notebook. WODHOPPER is a one stop shop for an athlete’s growth and development.
If athletes consistently log their workouts in an app that’s intuitive and pleasant to use, it’s a win-win, because coaches have more information to work with and don’t have to hound members to log their workouts.
There’s an inherent value in being able to track all of your results in one place. But it’s even more helpful when you have the ability to see your results history and read helpful notes you’ve written along the way.
It’s WODHOPPER, so it’s easy. WODHOPPER also does a lot of the work for you:
When a benchmark workout is programmed, and an athlete logs their score, the data automatically gets filed under benchmarks. In other words, when an athlete logs their workout and scores, WODHOPPER automatically tags and stores benchmark workout scores.
No need to fumble through different apps and learn convoluted ways to track results. Our interface is the easiest around, which will make you want to use it and check it daily.
Imagery, colors, and a lasting impressions are some of the things that go into building a brand that sticks in people’s minds. The goal of any successful gym is to build lasting relationships with its customers, encouraging active membership and referral business.
WODHOPPER believes in helping functional fitness gyms build and reinforce their brand whenever possible. Unlike many other CrossFit software systems in the market that focus on promoting their own brand within the software, WODHOPPER helps gym owners promote their own affiliate gym to members and prospects.
How?
WODHOPPER’s Scoreboard system allows the affiliate gym to set custom colors and logos, allowing for seamless integration and consistent branding.
A whiteboard only has room for so much information, and at the end of the day, it gets erased and replaced with new numbers and information. Third party results tracking software does not integrate with your gym’s membership and inner workings, and who wants to jump from one app to another all day?
WODHOPPER Scoreboard provides box owners and coaches with the easiest, most hassle-free way to track results. Period.
Did a sore knee or a bad cold contribute to uncharacteristic results from an athlete on a particular day?
Coaches should have access to this knowledge so that they understand the context of the results posted by their athletes. By leveraging the notes feature, athletes can clue their coaches into some aspects of their training that could improve their performance. Coaches can use this information to fine tune the WOD programming and time management.
Similarly, athletes should have a wide, comprehensive picture of results over time, so they can identify trends and better analyze results.
Daily progress reports help coaches monitor the performance of their athletes effectively.
More accurate and contextual results means more accurate evaluation of a coach’s ability to successfully improve athlete performance over time.
Coaches can analyze results to determine whether or not their strategies and methods are working to their fullest potential.
Functional fitness is about community. And if your gym has a strong, supportive community, that community is likely to grow and attract more like-minded athletes.
By using gym management, benchmarking and WOD tracking technology that encourages community, you are contributing to the success of your gym.
