What is Beyond The Whiteboard?

Let’s let the creators of this great new website answer that.

Go Beyond The Whiteboard

CrossFit changed our lives. From the garage we started in, to our Affiliate gym today, CrossFit has taken our idea of fitness to a whole new level. We were a group of friends consisting of web architects, economists, athletes and artists that had one thing in common, CrossFit. We began discussing and organizing our WOD results. The web architects started figuring out ways to capture the data while the economists discussed ways to analyze and display it. We concluded every intense workout with, “Put it on the whiteboard.”

We soon realized, as many CrossFitters and Affiliate gyms have, that the whiteboard is limited by memory, space and depth. We wanted to capture the data and display the results, both past and present, in various ways, on the fly. We built a framework that Affiliate gyms can use to track, display, analyze and improve their members’ progress. This site is made by CrossFitters; from our project managers to our web developers. It is our intention to take the empirical component of CrossFit’s “Evidence-Based Fitness” to the next level. Gone are the days of taking pictures of the whiteboard, flipping through notebooks for old times, and performing work capacity/power output calculations by hand.

Our mission is simple, go beyond the whiteboard.
