Those are a few thoughts off the top of my head but I can speak to specifics if anyone has a question. That wasn't an easy decision because I feel I should be leading by example but when I noted a (negative) change in body composition (losing 4lbs of lean muscle in a 9 month window) coupled with objective strength loss, I wasn't about to stay on board (not as a healthy 43 year old athlete who prioritizes recovery and nutrition). With that said, I followed Level Method for 18 months before I finally tapped out and started training on my own outside of class time. I should know what it feels like and be able to speak intelligently to it. If I'm not sweating alongside our members what does that say about my belief in what we do? I should be willing (and wanting) to do the work.

We've lost a tonne of members recently who cite programming as the primary issue and on a personal level, I found myself rarely looking forward to a workout but I toughed it out because I strongly believe in doing our programming. The process starts well - people are eager and energized - but invariably member interest wanes and attendance drops off. Hell, we even repeat tests within that three week window. As an example, the Assessment cycle lasts three weeks and every cycle is *exactly* the same as it was previously, right down to the order of tests and 'alternate' workouts (which, for the most part, are simply variations on the test for that day). The programming itself is very repetitive and uninteresting. That said, the map provides a nice visual model that clients can leverage for goal setting purposes and the daily workouts take some of the 'guess work' out of scaling (though I have opinions on that, and coaches who rely on that, as well). On the surface, I appreciate the philosophy but have serious reservations about their programming and question how it supports strength based testing and skill progression beyond the middling levels. Hey brother, I know this is an older thread but wanted to share my experience with Level Method as both a coach (just a morning coach, not a gym owner) and athlete.
