One App to Rule Them All

The time has finally come to pull the trigger and make our triumphant return to Zenplanner for ALL programs & workout tracking (except individualized programming via truecoach).

The ONLY real downside of this transition is that we’ll lose gifs... Though Zenplanner still has all the same leaderboard features, you can even like and comment (and emoji), and you can always throw a /giphy into slack and tell us how you really feel about the WOD (or ask any questions if planning to do something on your own - just tag @coach in slack!).

But in all seriousness, in the past month we’ve been utilizing both systems (from the back end) to finalize this decision - and it’s a no brainer. The Zenplanner features outlined below allow our coaches to be so much more engaged with you and your progressing results! You’ll no longer have to keep checking your phone for your last lift (or not being able to find it) just check the ‘faceboard’ TV & see (or ask a coach).

FAQ & features below; please give it a look over then contact [email protected] if you have any other questions, or tag @admin on slack :)

How do I Find the Workout?

Open up the Zenplanner mobile app & click your face / the menu on the top left > workouts!

From there use the drop-down to select the days program that you’re looking for (just like SugarWOD): 

What about all my prior / SW results!?

We in the process of cleaning up an export of all prior BENCHMARK (lifts primarily) to have them imported into Zenplanner :) Though if you’re feeling pro-active (and want more than just benchmark lifts) from the workout tab in Zenplanner click Library > and feel free to transfer any results over :) 

You will NOT lose access to SugarWOD and all those results! You will default back to CrossFit.com as your home gym on Oct 20th when your subscription to SW fully expires.

ZP Feature: Faceboard Workout Results

One of the top features that SugarWOD will likely never integrate, is the Faceboard for logging & checking prior results. 

This feature is MASSIVE for coaches being able to help athletes pick the right weights, helping ensure you follow our programs as intended (see: linear progressions), and if you do - you get a beautiful little bar chart like in the example above :D

Moving forward, coaches will do their best (no promises) to log your primary lift / results - but it’ll be on the athletes to log their WOD results as well as any other notes to their lifting results.

ZP Feature: Track Private Training Results

Want to re-benchmark some lifts? Afraid to go heavy in class? Signup for one of our ‘cheap PT’ options (only available to monthly group class athletes) and benchmark your lifts under the watchful eye of a coach, and your coach can add your results for you - which will also show up on the faceboard for future reference in group class! 

ZP Feature: Workout Notes for Athletes

Ok this is due to ZP lacking a feature (private coach notes) but we’ve decided we have NO issue with you guys seeing the notes about the days workout! So at the bottom of each workout we’ve edited our coach blurbs to be athlete friendly, so you can read & understand the intention behind the workout, recommended modifcations, and more :)

Still in Progress...

A few final items that are being updated (which is why we didn’t fully transfer earlier as planned - but it was time to pull the trigger)... 

SW results being transferred to Zenplanner (as mentioned above) 

Adding movement demo / links directly in Zenplanner (to make it easier for you to make up a missed workout / follow along during open gym, for now: www.rncty.ca/movements will have everything you need) 

Athlete computers for easy access to check-in / log results / check results #moarscreens - but feel free to utilize the front desk computer for now on your way in/out :)

And... the return of the ‘Ongoing Leaderboard’:

Screenshot from our prior ongoing leaderboard... it was an epic custom feature we had made for Zenplanner which we’re in the process of rebuilding. It automatically pulls scores from the last 30 days in Zenplanner - so you’ve got to show up consistently to stay at the top! More details coming soon...

Text Reminders & Class Size Increase!

A reminder that class capacity has increased to 10 now for all [FF] classes (and will still follow all COVID-19 Protocols & safety procedures - rncty.ca/covid19)

Some of you may have also noticed we’re testing out other new ways to help get everyone into the classes they want! 

If you have a phone number in Zenplanner, you’ll now get a text notification whenever you get in from waitlist! 

Please remember to unreserve yourself as soon as possible if you’re unable to make it - rncty.ca/no-show

We’re also testing out a 24 hour reservation reminder notification; as some time’s people reserve classes by mistake, or forget they have, and that ends up being a spot someone else can’t fill! 

As always don’t hesitate to reach out to provide feedback on how we can make things easier for you & ensure all (COVID limited) class space is filled up!
