ARCHON PARTNERS WITH CROSSFIT SOLIHULL UNIT C
“Archon allows us to build a community that understands their own performance”
Paul Witham
Owner of Unit C Crossfit Solihull
At Unit C our mission is to educate our members all about their fitness so that they can maximise their time both in and out of the box. For a member to understand their fitness, they first need to understand their current abilities and what they need to work on. Being able to identify their strengths and weaknesses is the core fundamental of being able to make sure that whatever comes up in a workout they will be able to cope with it. Data is the key to development, and so the more data we can give them, the better their experience will be and the more constructive our coaching can become. Archon gives us the ability to create that data driven environment at the same time as making it fun with elements of gamification. It’s one of the best investments we’ve ever made for our members.
OVER 100 OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE REGISTERED AND TESTED
FUNCTIONAL FITNESS SCORE
We used Archon’s methodology to create our bespoke Functional Fitness Scores. We have a Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced option for every level of member. The assessments in each element are based around components of Strength, Aerobic Fitness, Agility, Bodyweight, Power and Anaerobic Capacity. Each element carries a score and so once a member uploads their results it’s super easy to see how they are doing, which assessments they are strong at or weak at and which sessions or programming modalities they need to go through in order to improve. It’s given every member a really easy way to picture their fitness ability.
BRANDED PLATFORM
As part of our partnership we have a branded url, meaning each member once joining goes through an easy to track system. We also have our branding within the platform to inspire confidence to our members. Archon is totally GDPR compliant and so we know their data is in good hands.
LEVEL 4 ARCHON QUALIFIED
I wanted to make sure that when it came to the new methodology that we were building of testing and profiling in the box we had the full understanding of how to implement it and so I took the decision to gain the Archon Ofqual Level 4 Certification in Fitness Profiling. It’s meant that our members feel even more confident than ever that we are doing what we can to enhance every aspect of their membership and development both physically and mentally
CREATE FAIR COMPETITION
The Combines within Archon mean that we can create events, mini competitions in the box and even look to challenge other boxes as well. It allowed us through lockdown to create a Lockdown Combine where our members could remain active and we could interact with them on a daily basis. Mixing and matching any group of assessments means there’s an almost endless ability to create unique workouts and events with everyone having the ability to compete.
AN ALIGNED ETHOS
Archon was developed to allow everyone an ability to understand their fitness and compare it via performance metrics rather than standard numerology to others within a facility, nationally or globally. How much load you can lift or how fast you can run is a flawed process to identifying performance, showing them power to weight, age related and taking into account gender allows performance to be viewed in a totally different light. Every member now understands that just because they don’t lift as much weight, row as fast or perform as many muscle ups as someone else doesn’t mean they are performing at a lesser level, it’s just measured differently now.
