Coaches Notes
Hey Team,
There was an impressive amount of improvement on Fran this go around! Amazing work! This was the first time I did Fran in a couple of years (yes, I have been avoiding it and yes, it hurts as bad as I remember). This is the one workout in CrossFit that strikes fear in the heart of those who have been curled up in a pain-ball afterwards & have had Fran-cough for a full day after finishing. It's definitely a defining benchmark.
A few months ago I had an idea about creating a web-based service that simplified the drop-in process for CrossFitters that travel (vacation, work, family visits, etc) as well as the boxes that they travel to. While walking through the idea with our amazing designers & programmers, a temporary (we thought) name of FranFindr was introduced by Jamie Totten. We thought it would be a good placeholder while we searched for the 'perfect name.'
A couple weeks later while going through a branding exercise and laying out the criteria for the perfect name we realized that FranFindr met all the criteria (plus the alliteration was a huge bonus).
Long story short, we're a few short weeks away from launching FranFindr in major cities across Canada. Once we launch, you will be able to pull up FranFindr.com on your phone, tablet or computer & see the following:
You'll see pins for each box closest to you (or searchable in advance). Each box will have the following information when you click on the pin:
-
WOD (very important to cherry pick when traveling)
-
Drop-in rate
-
Schedule
-
Contact Info
The best part (on top of knowing the WOD of course), you'll be able to pay for your drop-in right there. No calling (to get vm), no emails (to wait days for a reply) and no headaches.
If you'd like more info as it comes, head over to FranFindr.com and enter your email.
Our launch plan:
Step 1: Major Cities in Canada
Step 2: West Coast USA (Washington, Oregon, California)
Step 3: South West USA (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico)
Step 4: Texas (it's big)
Step 5: East Coast USA
Step 6: Everything in the middle
Step 7: The World (really)
Check out FranFindr.com & let me know your thoughts. We can wait to get this in your hands to test out!!
