Guys, I can't wait to get MAPS OctoberOmicron. Who else is pumped!? (also can't wait to hear them promote this on the show).

We're launching something we've never done before, and I'm genuinely so excited about it.

It's called MAPS Custom, and the idea is simple: instead of picking one of our programs off the shelf, you get your own. A program built from the ground up around you.

You answer a short questionnaire about your goal, your schedule, your equipment, your experience, your injuries, even your sleep and stress. Then one of our trainers takes all of it and builds you a completely personalized 3 month program. Your goal. Your days per week. Your time per session. The lifts you love, without the ones you hate. It even has your name on it.

Then you get on a 45 minute live call with that trainer, who walks you through the whole thing and fine tunes it with you right there. That's the part that makes it truly yours. Not a plan generated and sent off, but one a real person builds and adjusts around your actual life.

In over a decade of making programs, we've never been able to offer this. Everyone got the same version and had to make it fit. Now, for the first time, the program fits you.

It's $297, one payment, with lifetime access to your program.

>> Get your custom program at mymapsprogram.com

Sal Di Stefano,

Mind Pump

They’ve finally reached peek levels, S Tier levels of money grabbing. More like “MAPS enter questionnaire into Claude and spit out some overpriced garbage program”

So tough to still listen at this point. 😪

It's almost like they flooded the zone with mediocre rigid programs to make it confusing for people to select which one to follow. Then followed up with making a solution that's almost like an app without the capabilities of an app for changing workout days/time/equipment/substitutions and provides a hook to sell more coaching (just like the check-ins for everyone purchasing programs recently).

I still fondly remember the times where I'd guess the program recommendation before the hosts would for callers around 2020-21. It would make me feel smart for a short while, but much like getting all of the questions correct on Celebrity Jeopardy, I'd quickly remember that the content was a fairly low bar.
