Founded and operated by former U.S. Navy Seal and longtime CrossFit coach and analyst Pat Sherwood, CrossFit Linchpin is now offering this Gym Subscription Training Program, designed exclusively for use with the BTWB App. This program is intended to help streamline the day-to-day lives of gym owners and coaches by providing high-variance daily workouts suited to a wide range of athletes. A simplified Linchpin subscription plan for individual athletes is also available, sold separately.
The Linchpin private track for Gym Owners delivers programming 7 days a week, Monday through Sunday, and is catered to the logistical needs of running classes with 10-20 people or more. Each day includes carefully planned warm-ups that often differ from those in Linchpin’s Individual Track. A highly detailed Lesson Plan is also provided with every daily workout, written by a team of experienced trainers who run classes for a living, and reviewed by a Level 4 CrossFit Coach. As Pat Sherwood explains, “We feel we have found the right balance to give coaches all the guidance they need to run a top notch, professional class while still allowing their own style and personality to shine. Using the daily lesson plan is of course optional, but we think you will enjoy it.”
Key aspects of the Lesson Plans are:
The 5 daily workout options are:
Linchpin does not have a bias toward strength, gymnastics, or conditioning. Instead, they have what they call “a long term health and fitness bias,” with programming designed to keep athletes of all ages feeling happy and healthy. A key linchpin of the Linchpin approach is an emphasis on Intensity over Volume. Intelligent scaling or modification of a workout is often essential on a long fitness journey, and heavy lifting days aren’t over-crammed with other workouts. “We don’t rush it; we focus on doing it right.”

We have members in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s & beyond. We have members who are complete beginners & have never worked out before. We have other members who are advanced athletes winning local competitions. Wherever you are in your fitness journey, CF Linchpin has a place for you.
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 a “No-Equipment Option” each day. This is a workout requiring zero gear. All you need is your body & the ground.
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.
We always provide a “Scaled Workout” & movement suggestions. For example, if you cannot do pull-ups then we would suggest ring rows, banded pull-ups, bent over rows, etc. There is usually a way to modify a workout/movement to meet your needs.
Our private track for affiliates is only $85 a month with no long term commitment. It provides a detailed warm-up, 5 different workout variations, accessory work, cool down & stretching, instructional videos explaining all aspects of that day’s programming & more.
A key difference between the individual subscription & the affiliate subscription is the affiliate subscription delivers programming 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. The only Rest Day is on Sunday. The individual programming delivers 5 days of programming per week, with Rest Days on both Thursdays and Sundays. We understand most gyms are open 6 days a week & 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 on the btwb website or directly to the btwb app on your phone.
