The Best Gift For Crossfit Athletes: Personalized Pacing

The 2020 Crossfit Sanctionals season contains 28 sanctioned events which is almost double the 15 events of 2019.

With the increase in competitions there comes an increase in competitors and an increase in online qualifiers.

Just like the annual worldwide Crossfit Open each of these sanctioned events requires you to prove your fitness through an online qualifier and submit videos of each of your workouts to validate your score.

In the past you had to have a perfect camera position that not only showed you in the frame but also had to show the clock you were on.

This causes problems for an athlete because they may not have sole access to that clock in their gym because classes take priority.

WODProof however has solved that problem with their free app specifically made to solve this exact issue. (Example below)

Since releasing their app WODProof has come up with another solution to yet another problem Crossfit athletes face, holding the perfect pace.

When athletes competing against each other have similar strength, cardio, and skill levels the primary difference maker in winning or losing an event comes down to which athlete had the best pace.

That is why top athletes repeat workouts, in order to find a perfect pace.


You can be the same exact athlete and receive totally different scores just by changing your pace.


7x Crossfit Games champion Rich Froning has been able to stay on top for so long because he never gets out of control in a workout. His pace remains practically the same from the very first rep through the last.

You never see him panic breathing or resting on his knees, while his competitors often are.

WODProof has created a smart band similar to that of the Fitbit that was created specifically for Crossfit athletes to replicate this strategy and it costs a quarter of the price.

Perhaps the greatest benefit to the WODProof band is that you can set the exact pace you want to hold and the band will vibrate at your set intervals to alert you when you should be finishing your rounds.

This is a huge advantage during workouts because the band does all the thinking for you, which is the last thing you want to do when in the middle of an intense event.


We also believe the WODProof band to be one of, if not the best gift for both the recreational and competitive Crossfit athlete this Christmas.

And yes the band syncs with the app seamlessly to active your timer and camera, allowing you to record your videos on your own time without having to constantly readjust your phone.

Boom. Solved your pacing problem and found you the perfect gift all in one.
