  iPhone application for #CrossFit 

  Roboboogie Studios has been working on an iPhone application dedicated to logging CrossFit workouts.

  I’ve been crossfitting since May of 2007 when Laura got me a BootCamp membership at CrossFit Toronto for my birthday.

  Being a Mac person and a developer, I knew it was only a matter of time before I built something to help track my progress.

  I started with a webapp that got dusty due to a lack of time. Luckily, this is not the case for the iPhone application, we’ve been actively developing this for a few months now.

  We’ve called it As Rx’d and it’s in the approval process right now.

  Here’s a shot of the Benchmark selection screen.
  

  Excited? I hope so. Come and check it out at it’s page on RBS.

  Update: You can check out the FAQ page here.

    any way to ask questions before buying? a bit nervous about spending $10 since I've bought most of the ohter workout trackers that don't work well at all for crossfit. Any trials? refunds? if it works, I'll buy in a minute.

    The Captcha function on your feedback form prevents using it.

  • tjweir 12:56 pm on April 8, 2009 Permalink

    The Captcha on the Roboboogie site? Doh, I'll take a look.

    What questions do you have?

  • Dave Bellevue 7:14 pm on April 15, 2009 Permalink

    This app rocks…

  • Tyler 7:52 am on April 16, 2009 Permalink

    Thanks Dave!

  • Ashley 11:43 am on May 5, 2009 Permalink

    Is there any way of adapting this app for CrossFit Football WODs other than creating Ad Hoc WODs?

  • tjweir 11:50 am on May 5, 2009 Permalink

    Hey Ashley,

    What type of adaptations does CFFB need? Other than Quarter Gone Bad, are there other WODs just for CFFB?

    We'll absolutely add features for CFFB, the next version after 1.1 will have some additions for CF Endurance.

    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Hi Garrett,

    Yes it is. The recent versions have been solving a bug with data refreshing. By naming Ad-Hoc’s is right at the top of the to-do list.

    Thanks

  CrossFit: 2009/03/17 

  I’m in Austin for SxSW so I hit up CrossFit Central for a WOD.

  800m run, then
  4 rounds of:
  25 Push-ups
  25 Deadlifts @ 135#
  25 Double-Unders
  25 Sit-ups
  then 800m run.

  I suck at running, but I banged out a 24:22.

  CrossFit Central has a sweet facility and chilled trainers, great time.
  I’m going to try and hit another WOD.

  SxSW – what happened? 

  Talks attended:

  Sunday:

  10:00 am · Being a UX Team of One
  Since this was both old and available on the web, I should have attended this talk about iPhone gaming.

  11:30 am · OpenID, OAuth, Data Portability and the Enterprise
  This was excellent, a lot of arguing about who owns the data and which company will emerge as the main authority.

  3:30 pm · We Have Been Objectified: Identity, Consumerism, and the Future of Designed Objects
  I watched Helvetica, it was awesome. I will watch Objectified, which I’m sure will be awesome. Gary Hustwit pointed out that someone was filming Tim Brown with a Mino Flip, which Tim designed. Meta!

  5:00 pm · Video Blogging: Turning Wine into Gold
  C’mon, Gary Vee… on stage, getting nitty-gritty. Epically good. Oh, here’s a link. By the by, as epically good as Gary was, the interviewer was as epically bad.

  Monday:

  10:00 am · The Invisible Web and Ubiquitous Computing
  The presenters we’re basically asleep, this was a waste of time.

  11:30 am · What Can We Learn From Games
  Warren Spector is so awesome, Deus Ex, Thief, Advanced DnD, etc. Good talk, though it was odd that the 3 panelists were all 100 years old or older.

  3:30 pm · Change Your World in 50 Minutes: Making Breakthroughs Happen
  Kathy Sierra knows how to do a presentation. She likes horses and puppies and likes to handwrite on her slides. This was an interesting talk, but I’m getting annoyed with the personal anecdotes presenters like to slip in. I don’t care and I bet most other people also don’t care.
