“Ich schreibe das erste Review auf Deutsch, das fällt mir noch einfacher. nach einem Bandscheibenvorfall (L4/L5) vor 5 Jahren musste ich mir meine Beweglichkeit zurückerkämpfen. Nach 2 Jahren DDP Yoga habe ich GMB Elements gefunden und bin damit auch sehr zufrieden. Noch habe ich deutlich zu wenig Kraft im Schulterbereich (oder bin zu ungeduldig), aber das Programm macht Spaß und bringt erste Verbesserungen (obwohl ich nur die 15 Minuten Variante +15 Min Aufwärmen und Abschluss Übungen mache). Einziger "Kritikpunkt" - die Coaches sind zu fit. Wenn ich die Floating X Übungen sehe, wünsche ich mir jemanden mit meinen Fähigkeiten, dann ist die Hürde nicht so hoch. Aber egal, ich bin motiviert, habe Spaß und freue mich auf weiter Elements Runden (vielleicht den zweiten Durchgang mit 30 Minuten Übungszeit).

“Elements is making me so much more aware of how I use my shoulders when they are weighted, my need for continued mobility work, and that I can continue to grow and change even in my forties.”
“Elements will change your life! (If you let it.) Really. I'm working through it for the second time and getting so much more than the first go around because I finally get the mindset behind it. Know before you start, if you leave the traditional gym mindset behind, you'll both enjoy and get much more out of Elements. The GMB crew says this all the time, but I still missed the point at first. Don't ask, "which muscle does this work?" Or, "am I burning enough calories?" Don't focus on your output. Focus on the input and feedback that the moves are giving you. Don't mentally chop your body up into segments like traditional training encourages. Enjoy moving as a whole, from head to toe. Listen to the coaches, trust the process, and you'll watch pain, tightness, discomfort, etc. all slowly disappear. While feeling stronger and having a lot of fun too!”
“Hey y'all! I'm Physical Therapist Assistant, physical theater artist, and human being that sees movement as a gateway to many of the most beautiful things in our human lives. Three years ago I experienced peroneal nerve damage. Luckily, it was repairable, but! it was still debilitating to my movement practice and I began to lose mobility, strength, (and frankly) hope, over time. I found GMB and started the Elements program, hoping to strengthen my mobility foundation and my sense of trust in my body again.
Here's what I love about GMB...
- Emphasis on quality and experience over quantity. AMRAP.
- Elements did not feel boring or without challenges! I have a lot of movement experience and Elements was still great practice.
- The detail and research that goes into the free guides on their website. I have learned a lot reading these, even as someone who has years of movement experience.
- The authenticity of their email communication! If you send them an email, a real person responds using real sentences. More than anything else, the authenticity of their communication has inspired my loyalty.
I plan to purchase Integral Strength next! Looking forward to experiencing this program as well.”
“I spend a lot of time sitting at a des (school and work), and I also do judo. My joints really needed some mobility magic to help bridge between getting stiff from sitting all day or getting stiff from high impact. Elements is the perfect bridge to pain free movement. It doesn't take all day; it doesn't require any research because the program is pre-made; it has an ehhh mode for when you're not feeling amazing; and it's pretty easy to use with the app. The lifetime access is good too, cause I've ended up re-doing sessions several times. I like it, and it's helped me a lot in unexpected ways. Like being able to scrub in between my shoulders”
“I think this is a very useful program, run by people who are true teachers. However, nearly every movement is very demanding on my wrists, so in my case, I have to limit the sessions quite a bit.”
You definitely need to build up your wrist strength gradually. If you need some help dialing that back a bit, definitely shoot us an email, and we can get you hooked up.
“The Elements Program focuses on mobility and movement. As I move through the program I have found that I have increased flexibility and comfort in positions that come in handy on a regular basis. For example, I can now sit down into a deep squat to dig around in the cabinet under my kitchen sink and stand back up again with moaning, groaning, getting down onto the floor or needing assistance. As I am progressing through the program I feel stronger and more at ease with movements that used to feel awkward or positions that were difficult to get into and out of. I really like the fact that I have a choice in timing (15, 30 or 45 minutes) to be able to do the session in a period that fits my schedule that day and that the staff are super responsive to questions and supportive in my efforts.”
“I really appreciate the approach to movement that GMB takes. It feels intuitively right to me, and I'm surprised it isn't more common. As I get into my forties, I want to make sure I can continue to move like this!”
