For those of you who don’t belong to a traditional box..

@trustlove147 Been on the Linchpin private track for 3yrs now. Absolutely love it. I've moved to working out in my garage with limited equipment. Slowly adding to it though. Have a set of rings hanging from the tree out front as my pull-up bar, barbell, dumbbells, some plates & couple of other little things like abmats. Pat's programming is easy to modify to what you have. There's the normal workout, a Limited Equipment Option (pair of DBs, jump rope, pull-up bar and rings to hang from pull-up bar) and even a No Equipment Option. Watching the daily workout videos is also like getting an informal education on programming. You'll no problem scaling/adjusting workouts to meet your abilities or equipment.
 
@trustlove147 Given I have a lot of experience and even a fitness related college education. But I’ve trained in my garage the entire time I’ve done CrossFit.

I follow strength programs and do 2-3 metcons a week. If I’m training for a competition I ramp it up.

I keep a notebook full of WODs and pretty much rotate through the notebook and do every WOD roughly once a year. (Sometimes a WOD sucks and I never do it again 😂)
 
@jessicaterra Lol! I feel ya. There have been some WODs I haven’t been a fan of. My training mirrors yours in that I usually start with a couple core lifts and a WOD that follows. I’m doing about 5 WODs a week and loving it.
 
@afirstbornson Lol. Can confirm the funny looks as most of the people in my gym are more into bodybuilding. I train for me and me only, however, you would surprised at the amount of people who ask me what I do and the looks are usually because they’re impressed lol.
 
@trustlove147 I follow the Cronus fit programs. I’m in the military so those programs are perfect for that but I often times have to change the workouts slightly due to being at a commercial gym so some equipment and lack of room gets in the way
 
@trustlove147 My wife and I have a garage gym and we follow Pat Sherwood’s programming of CrossFit Linchpin. $10/month and it includes a BTWB subscription, daily videos of all the movements, etc.
 
@trustlove147 I went to a gym that did Crossfit training but didn't call it Crossfit, due to legal reasons for about 3 years. Then it broke off to a CF affiliate and I went there about 4 years. Now I'm back at a regular gym that actually has more equipment than both of those did. I just use what we used at the previous places COMPTRAIN, the free version though . The previous places used the paid version.
 
@san422 Nice. That is one thing, the gym I currently go to has everything I would need and more to do a lot of WODs. And I would have the benefit of using the other equipment/amentities. If my financial situation allows, I still want to join a box for the community and to compete with others.
 
@trustlove147 Pre covid I was at a local box, coach did all the programming, we showed up at did what they said.
Haven’t been back since covid, but we have a pretty decent garage gym. We follow street parking because it’s efficient and varied. I could* program workouts, but they wouldn’t be as varied as on street parking, would probably focus on all my strengths.
 
@trustlove147 I train at a gym that's decently equipped for functional fitness (rig/all the ergs/space for gymnastics etc) and follow comptrain programming. A few others there are on the same programming so we sometimes link up for the workouts.
 
@trustlove147 I also follow street parking. different levels depending on your equipment. The two that started it are 2 crossfit athletes. Little by little as my wife and I collected equipment we gave it a shot and love it. Been part of it for about 2 years. Can take there programs to any globo gym if they have minimal equipment.
