What is an ROQ?
Relative Overall Quotient, or ROQ, is a score that Syphus Training™ participants work to attain and improve. Consider this number to be your fitness IQ, or fitness credit score of sorts. This number is graded on a scale from 1-1000 with scoring about 1000 only being possible if you finish a routine in under an hour. This number serves several purposes; It can show you your current state of fitness, it will serve as a way to monitor your progress and it will motivate you by creating a healthy level of competition amongst others involved in Syphus Training ™.

How is the ROQ derived?
Many factors go into figuring out one’s Relative Overall Quotient. The simplest explanation is that we use something called the ROQ Formula which takes every Task’s difficulty, the the time in which they’re completed in, and calculates a score based on these numbers.
