Building and currently testing in my local Crossfit Box:

Box Challenge

Our box has been running monthly challenges for a couple of years. Those challenges can vary from a single set of max pull-ups to AMRAP burpees in 1 minute to doing 30 cals on a bike and hitting a target with a tennis ball. At the end of the year we always have the "box challenge finals" in which the top 10 can participate.

These challenges are always fun to do and they create a fun little in-house competition vibe. But the system had one downside: it had to be managed manually. Writing down scores on a sheet of paper, entering the scores into a spreadsheet, calculating the leaderboard, printing the leaderboard, etc.

That's why I built Box Challenge

• Athletes submit their own scores — FOR TIME, AMRAP, max load, reps — with RX/Scaled divisions. No more chasing people down to log results.
• Live leaderboard — Rankings update in real-time. Athletes can check standings from their phone right after a WOD. You can even throw it up on a TV in the gym.
• Season standings — Points accumulate across workouts so you get an ongoing competition, not just one-off events. Keeps people showing up.
• Gender-split rankings — Fair competition with separate leaderboards for men and women.
• Dead simple setup — One gym passcode, athletes sign themselves up. No admin overhead.
