We are very excited to announce the latest version of our admin & coaches platform which went live today, sign in now to see what’s new but be sure to take a few minutes and read the below so you don’t miss anything exciting 😉
This update to the BoxMate application adds new dashboard data and insights, data workout tagging and access to a new global workout library along with many other small features. Read full release details below
New Dashboard
We updated the way you view activity statistics on the dashboard, hover over a panel to change from week to month view. Big week of PRs? Crazy amount of High Fives? Why not take a screenshot and get it on instagram and show off what your programming is doing for your members and how engaged they are.
Workout Data Tagging
Here’s the big one, when building any workouts inside BoxMate there are now a few extra options to tag quickly before you save so that we can later analyse programming and make sure we are delivering the best sessions to our members.
New Workout Options | When building a workout there are now origins to choose from including Live which can be used for displaying workouts inside the box on the BoxMate Live TV screen only and not in the members app as well as Testing and Competition which members will soon be able to filter through
Workout Filters | The new filter option lets you use all the new data along with the old standard options to filter workouts and find something specific, of course you can still use standard search to look for movements or names
The Build Button | If you find yourself in the workout library and come across a WOD you want to programme quickly, simply press the new Build button next to View to jump straight into a session builder with the component already assigned
Global Workout Library
From the beginning we have setup each individual gym with their own list of default workouts and exercises. Over time these have got a little out of sync and we are now resolving this with the Global Workout Library. When you go to workouts you will now see a new button which will say Sync or X Available if there are new workouts to download. Pressing this will open a popoup, show you any new workouts and let you sync to download them as well as updating all defaults in your library – we made old workout look more pretty and converted all LB to KG too 😉
Already added something yourself that’s in the list? Not a problem, simply copy the workout name exactly from the popup then update your already saved workout with that name and it will stop prompting you to download when you try again.
Programme Analysis
So we have all this data, now we need to use it. Welcome programme analysis! This simple to use area looks at a selected programme and gives you a breakdown by for each data point and allows quick switching between types and time periods.
We actually gave a few boxes access to this feature a few weeks early and feedback on the FIRST DAY was that it had already helped to identify areas of programming that needed modifying! How amazing is that? We cannot wait to see how this helps you deliver the best programme possible!
Session Builder
We cleaned up the session builder to make things fit your screen a little better and removed the deep search as this is now done from the workouts library with the new build button. We also added a neat little workout preview for when you assign a workout and need to just check over the details quickly before saving by simply clicking the green workout icon.
