Programming Notes

A couple of programming notes - there may be a lack of trainers during part of March. We will do everything in our power to hold classes but I am TDY to Korea for three weeks and Dave and Joel both have some commitments as well.

I have created an affiliate account with Beyond the White Board (http://beyondthewhiteboard.com/). Currently, joining is free and it's a place where you can post all your WOD times, weight (if you want), etc. Check it out and let me know if you think it would be a useful tool for us. Here is some more info on it:

Here's all you have to do to get the site going at your Affiliate:

1. Edit Gym Details: Set your Password, Login, Click on "gym"(upper right navigation) and "edit" your Gym details (link next to Gym Name).

2. Assign a WOD: Go to the "admin" page and assign a "New Workout of The Day". You can choose any workout from our database (most are under "Main Site"). If it is a workout you guys made up, first you must create a "New Workout", and then you can assign it as a "New Workout of the Day".

3. Add Members: Have your members:

a. sign-up at beyondthewhiteboard.com and sign-in (they can edit their Profile to add a

Profile Picture),

b. click "view a list of gyms"

c. click "Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood"

d. click "Join Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood". That's it for them.

c. Then you go to the "admin" page, click "Membership Requests", and click "accept" for

all the members you would like to accept.

4. Your Members Post their WOD Results: They login, click "post"(upper right navigation), and enter their results. If they scaled the workout, they can put in substitution exercises, adjust weights, and adjust reps. Then they click "Finished". If a substitution exercise that you use is missing from the list, you can add it in about 15 seconds (admin-->New Exercise).

That's all it takes to get your Affiliate going on BTWB. Our goal was to make this service easy to use with a very minimal time commitment on your part. All you have to do is assign the WODs, and the rest is done for you. All your members have to do is post their results, and the rest is done for them. Their previous results and history graphs are automatically pulled up on the WOD page ("gym"-->WODs tab-->click on WOD name) once you repeat a WOD. Their PRs on their profile page are automatically updated as soon as they post a Benchmark result. Be sure to have them check out the "weigh-in" feature, which tracks and graphs their Weight, Lean Body Mass, and Body Fat %, and lets them upload progress pictures for each weigh-in.

Finally - we were looking at hosting a Centurion CrossFit cookout / gathering at our house. If you are interested, vote in the poll. It looks like they may be offering us one of the new houses on post so we may be moving next week. With that being the case, we would push the gathering until April after all the TDY was done. and we were all moved in. We would supply some food and adult beverages and the grill; kids would be welcome too - just let me know what you think. And yes, it will be Zone / Paleo friendly!!
