At Level Method, Assess → Address → Progress has been foundational from the very beginning, for good reason.
It’s not a trendy catchphrase. It’s a logical, proven flow that mirrors real transformation:
- Assess – Understand where someone is right now.
- Address – Build and guide a personalized plan.
- Progress – Track and celebrate change.
When applied correctly, this cycle never ends. Each phase feeds into the next – creating a long-term, adaptable coaching system.
But most people only scratch the surface.
They assess with a few movement tests. Maybe body fat. Then they move on.
The coach of the future takes it further – going deeper, seeing more, and personalizing with precision.
The Coach’s Ideal Assessment Flow
True coaching starts with full-spectrum understanding – and that means seeing everything that matters: internal health, external capacity, and personal goals.
Here’s how an ideal assessment process looks in the modern coaching model:
Step 1: Blood Comes First - Internal State & Readiness
Before your client ever moves, trains, or diets — their biology is already talking.
Blood biomarkers give you a powerful, inside look:
- Inflammation & immune readiness
- Hormonal stress
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Recovery capacity
- Oxidative load
This is the internal baseline — the “invisible” layer that impacts everything else.
The coach of the future starts with blood.
Step 2: Choose the MAP – Goal-Driven Structure
Once internal readiness is clear, it’s time to define direction.
You start with one question:
“What do you want most right now?”
The answer usually falls into one of these broad goal paths:
- Function
- Aesthetic
- Longevity
- Performance
- Sport
- Rehab
- Tactical
From there, you select or customize a MAP — a structured assessment and training framework that matches the client’s goal.It’s not generic. It’s tailored from day one.
Step 3: Assess Movement & Composition – External Capacity
With the MAP in place, now you gather physical data:
- MAP assessments reveal what the client can do — strength, mobility, endurance, coordination, etc.
- Body composition shows how their system is adapting — fat mass, lean mass, and long-term metabolic trends.
Together, these give you objective, actionable information — the foundation of smart programming and habit design.
Step 4: Zoom Out – The Full Picture
These steps won’t always happen in perfect order. Bloodwork might take a week. Fitness tests might come first. That’s real life.
But the principle is the same:
There are three primary tools every coach can use to truly understand their client:
- Biology → What’s happening inside (Blood)
- Capacity → What they can do (Fitness/MAP)
- Composition → How they’re adapting (Body fat, lean mass)
When you monitor all three, you unlock a completely different level of coaching — grounded in data, aligned with purpose, and ready for real progress.
