About Burn Board

Built to make Orangetheory workout intel actually useful.

Burn Board exists because the workout intel people need before an Orangetheory class is usually scattered, inconsistent, and buried under clutter. Useful signals are out there — in comment threads, scraped pages, screenshots, forwarded posts, and community tips — but the reading experience is usually terrible. Burn Board cleans that up, structures it, and turns it into something you can actually use before class.

The problem

The raw information is often real. The delivery is the problem.

Orangetheory workout intel is messy by default.

Most Orangetheory workout intel arrives in forms that are hard to trust, hard to scan, or hard to apply to your own body. One post might contain useful nuggets, but it is mixed with noise, outdated context, and formatting that makes it harder to use quickly.

That gets worse when you are trying to answer practical questions in the moments before class: What kind of day is this? What does the rower look like? Does this workout make sense with my back, my energy, or my benchmark goals? Should I go hard or just survive?

Too much clutter around the actual workout information
Not enough context for different class formats, paces, or limitations
Very little help translating workout intel into a real pacing decision

What Burn Board does

It turns raw intel into something cleaner, faster, and more personal.

Structure first. Signal first.

Burn Board organizes Orangetheory workout intel into readable blocks, surfaces the class details that matter fastest, and layers in profile-aware context so the same workout can feel very different depending on who is reading it.

Instead of treating daily intel like a static blob of text, Burn Board treats it like an Orangetheory planning tool. That means cleaner breakdowns, clearer pacing context, more useful benchmark prep, and less scavenger-hunt energy.

Burn Score feature visual.

Burn Score

Members rate the workout from 1 to 10, creating a fast community read on how the class actually felt — not just what it looked like on paper.

Personal Forecast feature visual.

Personal Forecast

Saved paces and preferences make daily workout intel more relevant by turning generic class info into something closer to a personal read.

Benchmark Lab feature visual.

Strategy-first calculators help users plan benchmark days with clearer controls, more useful outputs, and less spreadsheet sludge.

Class-type parsing feature visual.

Different formats can be separated more cleanly, making it easier to tell what applies to a 2G, 3G, T50, or S50 session.

Community submissions feature visual.

Community submissions

Direct user intel helps improve accuracy and fill in the blanks when public sources are incomplete, late, or noisy.

Archive feature visual.

Archive

Recent workouts stay easy to revisit, which helps users spot patterns, compare efforts, and plan around recurring benchmark formats.

Tomorrow-intel email notification feature visual.

Tomorrow-intel email notifications

One of Burn Board Pro’s biggest advantages: the moment the next day’s intel drops, members can be notified and sent a personalized workout email automatically.

Why the email notifications matter

This should feel like a feature, not an afterthought.

FAQ

The practical version.

Why not just read the raw intel source?

Because the raw experience is often cluttered, inconsistent, and hard to apply quickly. Burn Board is about making that information easier to use, not pretending it never existed elsewhere. And with Pro, you can get notified and emailed your personalized next-day workout as soon as it drops.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to prep smarter: members pacing benchmark days, people managing injuries, or anyone deciding whether today is a push day or a survive day.

Is this official programming?

No. Burn Board is an independent planning and reference tool built around public/community-sourced workout intel and user submissions.

Why does profile data matter?

Because the same workout can mean very different things depending on your paces, rowing splits, limitations, and goals. Profile context is what makes the app feel smarter.
