Company overview:
WODProof is your ultimate qualification video and community driven application. WODProof allows you to record your training, customise and share with our community. Improve your performance with access to our worldwide library of athlete’s training videos.
WODProof developed out of our personal need as athletes.
When we recorded a video for a qualifier, we had to physically put a stopwatch on the floor, running simultaneously with the camera recording the athletes’ performance.
In 2015 we said “How is it possible that after almost ten years of athletes recording themselves for qualifications there’s still no solution for this problem?!”
From that day we’ve been on a journey to make our dream come true; to make our lives easier and to make our qualifications videos look as professional as we are.
WODProof version 1.0 went live in January 2016 as a Beta version.
We’ve tested and optimized WODProof, focusing on the base need of every athlete until we produced the most stable and reliable application for our community.
Almost 8 months later, the WODProof team was born. Supporting our vision, we were joined by Amanda Franden, Thuri Helgadottir, Marcus Filly, Tia-Clair Toomey and Patrick Vellner – representing the fittest and most elite athletes in the world.
They were excited to take part in designing a platform to record, test and analyze their daily workouts and submit their qualifiers for the biggest competition in the world.
Over time, with a combination of feedback from our community and the WODProof team, we came to the realization that WODProof 1.0 was only the beginning.
After 2 years of research and development, we finally launched WODProof 2.0. It’s everything you’ve ever dreamt of.
