Summer 2026 MetFix Boise Assessments Summary

Congratulations to everyone at MetFix Boise!

Since our Fitness Training from 3/30/26 to 6/20/26, we have had improvements in our Overall Fitness and Health.

We had 82 Individual Category Level Up’s (compared to 72 in Winter 2026) among 29 of us who had established Overall Fitness Levels prior, who took part in the Assessments this go around.

We re-assessed these 7 Categories that we had initially assessed as a group from 1/5/26 to 1/14/26:
Front Squat
Upper Body Pull
Lactic Tolerance
Neurological and Core Endurance
Rings
Weightlifting
Rowing

We had an average of 2.828 Individual Category Level Up’s per person (compared to 2.667 in our Winter 2026 Assessments).

We had Overall Level Promotions for:
Dan T., to Orange I to Orange II
Duane O., Orange II to Blue

With everyone’s levels averaged, our Gym Avatar Overall Fitness Level as of 7/2/26 is Orange III, same as it was as of 1/17/26 (Orange III).

Our Relative Strength (Strength to Bodyweight ratio) went down from Blue I to Blue.

Our Electricity (Central Nervous System ability) went down from Blue I to Blue.
Our Plumbing (Cellular Fueling) went down from Blue I to Blue.
Our Ventilation (Oxygen and Breathing) went down from Blue II to Blue.

Our average of 2.828 Individual Category Level Up’s (out of 7) per person might have been higher if some of us were able to make it all 9 days to attempt to re-Assess the 7 Categories (family or work trips, sicknesses, etc.).

Since 1/17/26, we as a whole went down in 12 of the 15 categories on the Level MAP. We stayed the same in 3 of the 15 categories on the Level MAP.

Our Front Squat went down from Blue I to Blue.
Our Upper Body Pull went down from Blue I to Orange III.
Our Lactic Tolerance went down from Blue to Orange III.
Our Deadlift is the same at Blue II.
Our Upper Body Push went down from Blue to Orange III.

Our Running went down from Blue II to Blue I.
Our Rowing went down from Blue II to Blue.
Our Aerobic Power Intervals went down from Blue II to Blue.

We assessed 7 Categories over 2 weeks (9 days).

The decline and stagnation in the Categories were due to the leaving and coming of Teammates, and the subsequent Assessments of new Teammates who have joined us since 1/17/26, and/or who are still working on completing all Assessments of the 15 Categories.

Our first half of 2026 of Training centered on General Physical Preparedness Training to create a Broad, General, and Inclusive Fitness in the gym, for us to handle the Unknown and Unknowable outside the gym.

Single-Modality Days included doing only these on certain days:
1. Monostructural/Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance and Stamina [M]
2. Gymnastics (Strength) [G]
3. Weightlifting (Strength) [W]

Couplet Days included combinations of the above, for example: MG, or MW, or WG, etc. in all kinds of time durations, from Short, to Medium, to Long.

Triplet Days included combinations of the above, for example: MGW, or GWM, or WMG, etc. in all kinds of time durations, from Short, to Medium, to Long.

We are looking forward to the next 10 weeks of training (7/6/26-9/12/26):

Fall 2026 Assessments will be from 9/14/26-9/25/26, assessing:
Deadlift
Upper Body Push
Upper/Lower Endurance
Squat Endurance
Kettlebell
Flexibility
Running
Aerobic Power Intervals

See you in class!
