“The programme is a bit slow to get started, the movements feel weird at first and you wonder what the point is. A few weeks in it begins to come together. Half way through I have a noticeabley deeper squat, better leg strength and more hip mobility. I feel stronger all round and more flexible. Now that I have the skill to link the movements together, I am using them outside the programme for warm-ups, and just because they are fun to do.”
“I have been a member of GMB Fitness for almost ten years. As a middle-aged adult male, I can honestly say that their fitness programs are excellent for those of us with busy lifestyles and changing body types. Over the past five years, I have had substantially less time to exercise, have an ongoing shoulder injury due to unrelated issues, and switched from a physical to sedentary career. GMB Fitness programs have helped me sustain my strength, switch my goals from strength to mobility, and adapt to these lifestyle changes with their time-flexible routines and body-friendly guidance. GMB offers the type of exercise programs that grow with you across your lifespan.”
“I’ve been with GMB for 4 years now and “own” a dozen programs. The cost (in terms of time & energy invested) to benefit ratio is the best you’ll see anywhere.”
“I have a newborn at home and was looking for a programme that I would be able to complete with minimal equipment and variable times each day. I got that and much more with Elements. I've enjoyed it far more than any other programme I've done and feel so much better after doing it.
I had pain and discomfort in my shoulders and spine which I had gone to physios, osteopaths and chiropractors about but to little avail. Those pains completely went away after a few weeks of Elements.
This is the first time I've been able to assess how I feel and judge on a day-to-day basis what kind of a workout I will do based off of that and for how long.
I am going to repeat Elements and can't wait to explore other GMB programmes.”
“I like the program, it’s definitely helping me to build strength and flexibility. I have had to adjust so exercises to protect my knees and pelvic floor. I would also prefer the balance of upper and lower body exercises to move towards more lower body exercises.”

“I love how Elements reconnects me to my body in ways lifting, running, swimming, etc. just doesn't do. It puts me in the drivers seat to make the session as challenging or neutral while still benefiting my body. If you're looking to break the mindset of "reps" and actually take the time to see what your body is capable of, GMB and Elements is a Great option. Plus, what other program can boast being a playful butt kicker?!”
“I juat finished my 25th session, and i am so happy with my progress! I am moving better (i know when to relax, when to brace, how to distribute weight, how to breathe) and overall i feel "stronger". My nagging joint aches are also significantly less (right shoulder, right wrist and right knee).
However, I miss conventional strength training, and i am looking forward to do more of that after I finish Elements :)
30 min session is my sweet spot. Tried the 15 min session, but I find it too short. I prefer having more time for practice and play.”
