I'm interested in hearing what LD has to say, but I'm confident in his thinking, not yours.
Yes. That's what I meant.

I meant, soon after you get hired, you have a basic workout of squats, deads, pushes and pulls, test max times on planks, etc. Every few weeks, you do the same workout to see how they progress. In between, you can still do the same exercises, but you won't necessarily do the same workout, time after time.

I didn't mean this was OPTIMUM, I meant that it would be good within the context of his dilemma.

However, the difference between optimum and really good progress is probably insignificant in most gym goers. If this keeps them progressing, interested, coming back, and paying more, then I'm for it.
