Some of you may have heard some people around the box talking about this thing called SocialWOD. Well, I am going to explain what it is all about and how it will make tracking your progress easier!
At the end of each night the Coach takes a picture of our whiteboard and sends it to our wonderful Admin ;) and this photo is then uploaded to the SocialWOD website and it tracks all of our athletes scores/lifts/times, etc. All you have to do is log-in and claim your name/athlete profile!
In addition to this, SocialWOD allows our Box to have an interactive record of the scores that each person achieved each and every day at our box. The list is sortable by athlete name, score and by Rx (the symbol used to indicate that an athlete did the workout “as prescribed”). Every day, when the data input is completed in SocialWOD, the link is posted up on our Facebook Page.
Now, one limitation of the system is that it is only as good as the legibility of the writing on the white board… and sometimes this means that names get accidentally changed. This also means that you have to be consistent about how you write your name, for example:
Libby and Libby R will be seen as two different athletes. Another example, if we have two different Krissy’s in the box, we must write their last initial so they do not have their scores mixed up. Ok…moving along…
Make sure you go to our SocialWOD site: atlascrossfit.socialwod.com and click on the button that says “Claim your athlete profile…” This will allow you to edit your name, add notes, scaling, get WOD notifications, and add your goals!
Atlas CrossFit found Don after his move to Chicago from San Diego in 2011. Don bragged that he could “test out” of the 3 required elements classes, necessary to teach new CrossFit athletes the ropes. CrossFit then proceeded to severely punish Don for his insolence. Love ensued.
Don loves the opportunity that CrossFit provides to recognize physical and psychological hurdles, challenge them, and eventually overcome them.
A Californian in the truest sense of the word, Don loves to surf, hike and just generally be outdoors. Don’s entirely convinced on the importance of fitness, as it relates to health and happiness, and is grateful for the opportunity to help individuals extend their individual capacities and revel in their subsequent success.
Don is Crossfit Level 1 Certified and has participated in the TRX Group Suspension Training. Sign up for one of his classes and check him out for yourself! Don will also be a friendly face in the 6am CrossFit classes as he will be assisting the early risers starting this week!
Please come to our FREE nutrition lecture Saturday, April 28th and 12pm where we will talk about the benefits of following a Paleo and Zone diet. Follow this link to sign up!
Congratulations to Jill Rodriguez and Eugene Granovsky on their amazing efforts in the I Am CrossFit Challenge! These two earned first place and yielded the most change in body composition and fitness level!
Jill’s Results:
-Lost 10lbs and 4.5% body fat
-Changed overall body composition by 16%
-Increased 7-minute burpee test by 20 burpees, a whopping 28% change!
-Added 5 lbs to Front Squat
Eugene’s Results:
-Lost 7 lbs and 1.5% body fat
-Changed overall body composition by 9%
-Increased 7-minute burpee test by 8 burpees
-Added 10 lbs to front squat
Scores during the challenge are calculated based on percent change in weight, body fat, circumference measurements, and fitness gains. Scores are then ranked, with the male and female with the lowest overall rank taking 1st place.
Every single participant should consider themselves a winner as each of you worked extremely hard and witnessed improvements in body composition, strength and performance! Way to go everyone!
In case you were unaware, “I Am CrossFit”, or “IAC”, is a challenge we do at Atlas every six months or so. This challenge asks that you dedicate yourself for 6 weeks to CrossFit workouts and Paleo/Zone eating. The best part, is that you aren’t on your own throughout this challenge, but you are on a team with a dedicated coach and teammates to help you succeed. Our next challenge kicks off June 9th. Follow this link to sign up!
Cost is $165 and includes:
