The person putting this on seems to know what they are doing. They have some exceptional references on the site.

Without seeing the actual program its very hard to make a determination if this is something that would be beneficial to do or not.

It's kind of like being asked to buy a car but you can't see it until you put down your money:)

For other programs like P90x you can atleast try it out and see if you like it.

> 40 minutes, 3 days/week.

This seems about right for a beginner program and for anyone looking to maintain their current form.

> The price is $125/month for founders and $175/month for folks with salaries.

This is just bizarre. I think the whole founder worship thing has gotten a bit out of control here. What about employee #1 :)

hi @chollida1 – while I certainly don't mind the eventual traffic to MVF, my main intention was to share thoughts around cardio... discipline/exercise selection tends to be a make or break thing in fitness.

Regarding the discount for founders, it's more because I remember how much it sucked being broke when I started Fitocracy. :) I'd assumed it'd be easier for employee #1 just because at that point, some de-risking had probably occurred. Really wanted to do funded/non-funded, but that would've been unfairly glorifying raising money for raising's sake.
