“Elements give you the foundational movements that will lead to handstands, L-sits, etc. The lessons are paced to help you focus on the quality of movement.
If you want that “wow I’m sweaty and exhausted” find some with HIIT or cardio. If you’re worn out and have some nagging injuries but still want to get that pull up, L-sit, handstand, what-have-you … Elements is a terrific springboard.”
“I’m an older GMB fan so my movements are not perfect yet. Ryan has given me the confidence to embrace where I at today and keep working consistently. Thank you GMB ps I love Jarlo’s expertise as well.”
“After working the last 20 years as a Active Isolated Stretching Therapist, Massage Therapist, and rehabilitative strength therapist for aging adults, I find myself at age 70 beginning to experience aging related issues. I have always prided myself on a healthy regimine that included a healthy low processed-carb diet, regular good sleep, stress management, maintaining flexibility, regular strength exercise, and an active lifestyle that included four different activities including singles tennis, running, biking, and singles rowing (sculling) in our local river. I always reasoned that an injury or issue may side-line me from one or two activities. But by practicing four, there would always be at least one that I could continue with until I healed. But when you combine a right hip labrel tear, a left shoulder impingement, and a buldging C-5 neck disk, that can all come to a halt pretty quickly. The elements program combined with the excellent coaching that goes along with it has enabled me to focus on quality workouts rather than quantity. While my activity level has certainly dropped, I continue to make slow but steady progress toward healing and recovery. And while I may or may not be able to return to the same level of activity in my four chosen lifestyle activities, I know that I can adapt and shift toward other activities that will support a healthy active lifestyle as I continue to age. In addition to elements I recently have taken up Tai Chi, which like Elements allows me and encourages me to practice with mindfulness, quality over quantity, and a joyful spirit.”
“Elements is different from any other exercise regimen I've tried in that the focus is on building capability. Basically, I can do things with my body now that I couldn't do before, and it's made using my body in other ways easier and more effective as well. For instance, after doing Elements for a while I could dead hang longer, even though I hadn't been training dead hangs.
Best of all, this is a program I look forward to working on. It doesn't feel like a chore and so I've maintained my fitness routine and made progress, even after having to take a break because of an injury.”
“I spent literally years thinking I should be doing this program, but intstead, continued doing bits and pieces of random mobility from here and there oh the internet. I never made any progress. Following a six month period of inactivity due to a pretty serious medical issue, I finally clicked purchase. So glad I did!
I'm now around half way through elements and my progress has been terrific. It's such a well structured program that you can't help but improve. I think of it as "sneaky", in that the progress sneaks up on you and you find yourself doing movements with relative ease that seemed virtually impossible just a month before.
I'm a 63 year old who was as stiff as a board from injuries and surgeries from heavy contact sport in my younger days. Subsequent years of sitting in an office had taken their toll too. But, finally I am starting to move with less pain and restriction.
If you're procrastinating like I did. Stop now! I can't recommend Elements more highly.”
“I'm loving the program. I like that they give different options for some exercises and explain that you don't have to copy them, but just do the exercise at the level you can on that day.”
