wod_science is Gommaar and Henning, who started their instagram page out of a desire to share information on CrossFit, Weightlifting, Endurance Exercise and Nutrition with the public. Since they both have full-time positions at research institutes, the page was initially designed to be a hobby and they were not entirely sure whether people would care much about their nerdy content. Fortunately this appears to be the case and the page has grown very steadily over the last year, recently hitting the 30k-follower mark. However, with the amazing growth also the time demand to run the page has grown very steadily.In order to be able to continue to run WOD_Science the way they would like to, which includes maintaining complete independence, transparency and meeting the demand of content by their followers, they decided to go Patreon. This will allow them to justify the time commitment to the page while they maintain their full-time positions at Universities.Moving forward, they will not change the formula of WOD_Science. They stand for Open Science and will continue to make all contents available for the public, irrespective of whether you choose to donate to their cause or simply enjoy their posts. They will, however, give patreons the opportunity to vote for topics of some of the more elaborate posts they will create in the future.
