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. I don't need a poorly designed "map" to tell me that if you can't do that, you're going to have a bad time.
You want to do kipping pull ups at my gym? Show me 3 strict C2B Pull ups with your feet staying in front of you during the warm up. The Level Method also grossly over complicates common sense things. Moreover, there is no emphasis on movement quality. Had I followed their rules, I would have had regionals athletes scaling workouts because they tripped on a set of double unders. Some of the tests were way to easy and some (Annie) were near impossible. Your classes should look like a bunch of PT sessions. The whole point of CrossFit is scaling everyone individually.

It is designed for people who don't know how to coach and scale their athletes appropriately or are incapable of being authoritative with their classes. When I removed the MAP my coaches cheered and my members didn't notice a difference. It took the joy out of coaching and it removed the best part of group CrossFit: appropriate scaling.
