CrossBand
CrossBand is a fitness tracker that enhances the CrossFit experience for both members and trainers. Members use the CrossBand system to share their fitness goals, whether it is to stay healthy, practice endurance for a marathon, or get into shape. Trainers then use this information to customize the workout of the day (WOD) based on who is in the session.
The CrossBand system also facilitates a community around users’ fitness goals. Since the wristband senses others around it, CrossBand will alert the user of people nearby who have the same goal. CrossBand uses the supportive nature and sense of community in CrossFit to create a smaller, more focused, and interest-driven community within it.
