What equipment do I need?
Most daily workouts can be done with a barbell and a pull-up bar. When workouts do require unique and/or expensive pieces of gear such as a rower, bike, GHD, etc...we always provide substitutions for people who do not have access to such equipment. No matter what, we’ve got you covered.
Our “Limited Equipment Option” is a daily workout requiring only a pair of dumbbells, a pull-up bar, a jump rope and a set of gymnastics rings or TRX bands hung from the pull-up bar. Don’t be fooled, limited equipment does not mean limited fitness. We also provide an "At-Home" no-equipment needed workout each day.
How long do the workouts take?
Workouts are usually between 10 and 20 minutes in length. Some are shorter and some are longer. The daily warm-ups are usually 10-15 minutes in length. Every day we also post optional accessory work, as well as a cool down and some stretches. Our goal is to have you in and out of the gym in less than an hour...that includes the warm-up, the workout, and the cool down/stretching.
How do I get a free 30-day trial of the Linchpin private track?
To receive a full access 30-day free trial all you need to do is click this link https://programs.btwb.com/linchpin/individual
You will be prompted to enter your credit card info, but you will not be charged unless you decide to stay beyond the 30-day free trial.
What does the Linchpin private track include and how much does it cost?
Our private track offers two different price options. It is $18 for a month-to-month option or $90 for a 6-month option. It includes a subscription to "Beyond the Whiteboard", which normally costs $8 a month by itself. You also get a detailed warm-up, an Rx'd workout, a Wild Card option, a Scaled/modified versions of the workout, a Limited Equipment Option (dumbbell version of the workout), & an "At-Home" No-Equipment workout (bodyweight). We also provide goal times/loads, movement demonstration videos, accessory work, cool down & stretching, instructional videos explaining all aspects of that day’s programming, access to our private Facebook group & more. All of this is delivered to your computer or directly to an app on your phone.
What does the Linchpin private track for Affiliates include and how much does it cost?
Our private track for affiliates is only $85 a month with no long term commitment. It provides a detailed warm-up, a daily workout, a scaled workout, goal times/loads, movement demonstration videos, Limited Equipment Option (dumbbell workout), a No Equipment workout (bodyweight), accessory work, cool down & stretching, & instructional videos explaining all aspects of that day’s programming.
A key difference between the individual subscription and the affiliate subscription is the affiliate subscription delivers programming 7 days a week. (The individual programming delivers 5 days of programming per week, with Rest Days on both Thursdays and Sundays.) We understand many gyms are open 7 days a week and therefore we provide programming to accommodate this.
The owner of the gym (not all of the gym’s members) who sets up the affiliate subscription will get access to our private Facebook group. All of this is delivered to your computer or directly to an app on your phone.
Having your affiliate join the Linchpin private track is easy, just follow the steps once you click the link for your 30-day free trial. Just click the tab on our website that says "Private Track" and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of that page.
Is there a heavy lifting session programmed each day?
No, and here’s why...
Linchpin is a strength AND conditioning program. At CF Linchpin we do not have a strength-bias, nor do we have a gymnastics or conditioning-bias. We have a fitness-bias. More specifically, we have a long-term health and fitness-bias. We focus on improving all areas of the athlete equally, no single one is more important than another.
It has been our experience, both personal and as shared through the stories of hundreds of other people that strength-biased programming is not the most efficient and effective manner of developing fitness. The overwhelming majority of people need improvement in strength, gymnastics, and conditioning...aka, fitness.
Some people do believe that increasing strength will increase overall fitness, however, that has not been what experience has shown us. We have heard countless stories from our members who were previously on a strength-biased program, switched to Linchpin, started to pursue well rounded capacity, and saw not only their overall fitness increase, but their strength numbers as well.
It is also our opinion that many strength-biased programs are not only ineffective and inefficient at developing well rounded fitness, but are also potentially injurious to a large segment of the population. It is for these reasons and more that Linchpin focuses on long-term health and fitness. We want you (and your back, knees, and shoulders) to be fit, happy, healthy, and extremely capable for decades to come.
I am a member of the Linchpin private track and I want to join the private Facebook group. How do I do that?
Click here and submit a request. We will verify that you are an active member of the CF Linchpin private track and then you will be given access.
How do I update my payment information?
To edit your payment info you need to log into your account on the Beyond the Whiteboard website, not the app. From there go to your profile drop down menu and select "Subscription". From this page, select "Edit CC" Under your coaching program subscription.
I signed up, now what do I do?
All you need to do now is log into the btwb mobile app. Download for iPhone here or Android here. Log into your account, then from your home screen scroll down to your “subscribed tracks”. Your Linchpin workouts will appear on the calendar there.
I already have a BTWB subscription and I want to join the Linchpin private track. What do I do?
Since you already have a subscription to BTWB there are a couple of possibilities. If you have paid for a yearly subscription, just email us at info@CrossFitLinchpin.com and we can loop in a couple of great people on the BTWB support side. They will be able to stop your yearly subscription and get you on the monthly subscription for Linchpin.
If you don't have an annual subscription and you are doing a month to month with BTWB then you would simply cancel your current subscription and then sign up for the Linchpin Private Track. After you cancel your current subscription just be sure to use the same email (as your original BTWB subscription) when signing up for the Linchpin Private Track. This way all of your historical data with BTWB will transfer over.
To cancel your subscription simply log into your account on the Beyond the Whiteboard website from your computer, not the app on your phone. (www.beyondthewhiteboard.com) Click the drop down menu in the upper right. Click on "subscription". You can then choose to cancel your subscription.
How long does it take to get a t-shirt, coffee mug or something else I purchase off of your website?
Once you place your order it can take up to 25 business days for the order to be fulfilled. This timeline is for domestic orders. Orders outside of the United States can take longer. This all depends upon how busy the print shop is. Once the order is fulfilled it will ship in accordance with the method you selected and you should receive a tracking number. If you are purchasing something as a gift, be sure to plan accordingly.
