CROSSFIT COMMUNITY GUIDE
Custom benchmarks for your CrossFit clan
The most useful benchmark is not always the one everyone already knows. Sometimes a community has a workout, distance, movement, or annual tradition that better describes how it trains.
In brief
In brief
ChalkClash lets owners and moderators create clan benchmarks with a category, description, unit, levels, and, when needed, separate thresholds by gender.
CONTEXT MATTERS
Every community can have different tests
A box may have a recurring movement, an internal workout, a specific distance, or a yearly tradition. That test matters because it belongs to the people who repeat it together.
Customizing does not mean inventing arbitrary numbers. It means giving a clear name, unit, and threshold to a test the community genuinely wants to use.
- Makes benchmarks relevant to the clan's program.
- Helps measure realistic group goals.
- Creates recognizable, repeatable community rituals.
GOOD DESIGN
A benchmark should be clear before it is competitive
Before a benchmark enters a leaderboard, everyone should understand what is being tested. A description, unit, and thresholds make comparison easier to read.
Customization is useful when it increases clarity, not when it adds unnecessary complexity.
- Define one main unit: time, kg, or reps.
- Write a description that makes the test repeatable.
- Set levels and thresholds before reviewing results.
CHALKCLASH
A clan benchmark, not only a personal PR
Owners and moderators can add custom benchmarks alongside the default catalog. The benchmark then uses the same score, level, history, and programming flow as the rest of the clan.
- Time, Kg, or Reps units.
- Configurable categories and descriptions.
- Thresholds and gender splits when needed.
