“I own several of their programs, but recently decided to start over with Elements—and I’m glad I did. At 71, I still find it incredibly fun, motivating, and truly rewarding. I can keep up surprisingly well, and I’m sure my years in martial arts have a lot to do with that.
The movements are smart, the progression feels natural, and it’s a program that keeps you improving without pushing you too far.
My only small complaint is that navigating backward or forward in the program is more complicated than it needs to be.
Overall, Elements is a fantastic program that I can honestly recommend to anyone, at any age. It keeps you moving, learning, and enjoying the process.”
“I bought Elements because i saw gmb fitness videos on youtube and i liked the style of exercises they did and the way they explained them in an accesible manner. I am now about halfway through Elements and i find that I move better already. For example i already could do the deep squat with my heels touching the ground before i started Elements, but i had trouble keeping my back straight in that position. Now however I can also keep my back straight in a deep squat thanks to Elements.
The exercises are fun to do and i was surprised how quickly you can master them if you train consistently. I do sessions about 4 times a week, but you can modify the length of a session based on how much time you have available. So you can fit sessions in a busy schedule as well.
So to sum up it is a flexible program with fun exercises which rewards consistent training.”
“used the gradual track of elements due to some injuries and lack of overall flexibility. after a couple weeks felt much better movement, flexibility, hips looser, great way to start the day.”
“One of the most difficult things of exercising is not the movements themselves but getting the time to be on the mat or floor. This program encourages doing so by providing small incremental byte-size chunks of exercises in a way that it's not everwhelming and gives you a clear progression path, you're always in control and you know what you're aiming for.
I personally like the history where I can see all session I've done. Also, the variety of options when it comes to intensity, I started the general track, after some injuries that set me back, I was able to quickly go back but this on the gradual which is more gentle.”
“Halfway through elements now. Have been working out and doing sports most of my life, and had been getting stiffer and stiffer and not able to move like I used to. “Gym strength” and cardio was fine, but I wanted to get more flexible, reduce stiffness and prevent back, neck and shoulder issues.
Bought elements but didn’t start it for a year, because getting started can be hard sometimes.
Anyway, I regret not starting earlier. Would have started ten years ago, if I knew then how much better it has made me feel now.
I like how it’s a pre-made program, you get guidend through it with clear tutorials and pointers. So there’s no decisions, other than whether you go for 15, 30 or 45 min sessions.
In the beginning you have to watch some tutorials, but after the first 4-5 lessons, you know the basic moves. Then you will get to do variations a of them, which helps keep things fresh and interesting.
Halfway through I feel more flexible and overall better with my body. It’s easy to squeeze into your day. I usually do it in the morning, during my lunch break or while cooking dinner (I take a few breaks between exercises then).
I’m super excited to continue to improve and progress with the more advanced programs.”
“You never feel too weak, I love the explanations and how to work through the program with limitations. I use Elements as a warmup and really love it. Never felt more ready to do Calisthenics. Love it!”
