“Elements was not my first GMB program. I actually started with some of the other programs (Mobius!) when I first got into GMB because I felt that coming out of a very intense body weight fitness routine Elements might be too simple/not challenging enough. In fact my first experience with Elements was only after I heard about the great improvements others were making with the program after joining Alpha Posse. When I finally gave it a try I discovered that the Elements is anything but elementary; there are multiple progressions to the exercises and you have the ability to choose from different program tracks to fit your individual needs and goals. I also found that some of the movements were deceptively difficult; and those difficulties helped me identify weakneses in my own fitness ability. At the same time the workouts helped me improve those weak areas! I'm on my second round of elements now and still making new discoveries and improvements. I think Elements has something to offer everyone at all levels of fitness- highly recommend!”
“Elements is the most fun way to get stiff gym-goers with too much bulky muscle down to a functional size in which your muscle actually serve a purpose except looking big. If that is what you want, you got you program.
Also it doesn´t keep you from getting big since the progressions of the exercises can get extremely challenging, for example the Bent Arm Baby Frogger. One of the most burnig exercises i have ever done.
Also there are a lot of follow-up programs that deepen you understanding of the movements, especially getting them into a flow which is where the real fun begins.
After mastering Elements and a lot of the flows and going through the course over and over again you still find new things to work on and perfect the movements. It´s also a wonderful warmup for other workouts you do since it stretches your body while doing the bear, monkey, frogger and crab.
Elements and following the GMB training regimen changed my live. From being the guy with back injuries (actually a chronic malformation in the lower back) to pain-free in my mid 30´s, while people around me start to get pains all around their body.
The other programs like Integral Strength will build on that formation and make you as big as you wish to be - depending on your determination. No need for weights unless you want to be a bodybuilder and only care about looks.”
“The Elements program has materially improved daily living for my wife and I. We just came off snowboard season with the least amount of overall muscle and joint discomfort. Even less than last year, even though we are another year older. I don't know of too many things that you get that kind of return from. If you put in the work, the results will come. Do it now !”
“I started this program with goals of improved overall mobility and strength. While I'm only about half way through I am definitely seeing tremendous improvements towards my goals - even including an extended break due to illness. I know that the front end of the course has seen some improvements (which I've not seen) so the following comments might not apply now. The course would definitiely benefit from more guidance up front as to which stream to take. The course content and delivery style suits me and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys following a video coach, with timed components, and real people doing examples (i.e. not superhumans!). Very encouraging commentary throughout by Ryan - nice touch!”
“I have been exercising on and off for over 10 years including resistance training and various cardio workouts. I even did triathlon including a couple of half ironmans.
GMB fitness programmes (I have almost all of them) are amazing and Elements in particular is a game changer. I feel so much better since I started it and can't actually believe I completed it. Although I'm no where near the quality of moves that are in the videos but I have made great improvements since that first session. At almost 59yrs, I'm loving getting on the floor and discovering how much my body can still do. The GMB method makes so much sense to me and I find myself preaching it to everyone willing to listen.
Well done GMB and special thanks to Ryan for his amazing ability to break down movements to their simplest parts and always making me feel that I'm doing great at whatver level.
I highly recommend Elements to everyone who wants to see improvement in their fitness and health.
Keep up the good work
Cheers
Bassem”
“The Most exercises are cool, i dont like the ohne arm frogger. Combos are cool too. Id like to have a download program. Sometimes the log in dont work.
Hope you renew Elements again and again and again”
“Been at the elements for 3 years or so and still learning. But the benefits of persistence are well worth the effort. Imagine having some fun playing with FROGGER for 10 minutes; next day your abs tell you they had a serious workout. No crunches required!
Highly recommnended as a training program with other things or just on its own. And there's more - loads of extra stuff from the GMB team on youtube, Instagram, emails etc .... I love it!”
“Elements is an excellent program for improving mobility and building strength in all parts of the body. I am now going through the program for the third time. It has evolved since I first acquired it over five years ago so it feels like a new program. This time around I use it as part one of my workouts, and then follow up with some additional body weight strength exercises.”
