“Since I bought the program and tried it for the first time I never regretted my decision – not even for one second. (I've had it for 5 years already.) I've been recommending it to everyone I know and I keep saying this: the psychological (pedagogical!) aspect of the way Ryan and his team convey physical activity to their students is as much first class as it is simple – and in simplicity lies true mastership. I can only say THANK YOU to Ryan and his team for developing this unique offer with their programs.
If you want to develop general fitness and stay active throughout your daily life, you don't need more than Elements.
I can even imagine doing it for a decade without getting bored. And if you want more: GMB offers that as well, i.e. Integral Strength to take you even further (i.e. towards accomplishing the handstand).
One thing is important: you need to trust the process and trust Ryan and his team.
It's worth it!”
“This is great. I have always struggled with flexibility and felt that my movements where very linear and stiff. This program has me moving in completely different ways. I feel more capable in my movements now after just a couple of months than I did with years of yoga.”
“My sister recommended Elements to me. After twenty-five years of daily yoga practice and a lifetime of sports, I wondered what they had to offer me. But as a 55-year man with a well-worn knee and one hip replacement on my scorecard, I was open to new ideas. GMB turned out to be a good one! The Elements programme has helped me fill gaps in mobility and strength that I didn't even know were missing. And as importantly the approach is 'all levels welcome, no hype, real people led' style. I've appreciated that as much as the well thought out programme and the well produced on line materials. Go GMB - keep up the good work folks...”
“Hey, I like Elements. I still hit the gym and do all my regular stuff, but GMB Elements (and their other programs) help keep me limber even after a week of picking things up and putting them back down again at the gym. I've finished Elements 3x now and expect to keep coming back. It's one of the best investments I've ever made.”
“After a while browsing YouTube for fitness training I came across GMB and found that regular exercise can be interesting and fun again.
Ryan is a fantastic trainer, funny and informative, GMB now has a new feature allowing you to slow things down or Go Advanced.
I'm about halfway through the programme now and training three times a week, and I can already see improvement.
Remember it's got to be fun if you're going to keep on doing it, have Fun and get Elements it's as easy or as hard as you want it to be you're in control.”
“Elements has been my base program over the last few years because it is just so flexible, adaptable and of course a lot of fun! It is my main program when I want to progress more quickly towards some of the higher level skills in the program. In other training phases, I use it as a warm-up or days off program when I want to focus on another attribute. The program and the platform (Praxis) makes it easy to do that.
Of all the programs I've tried over 20+ years of training (and I've tried a lot), Elements is the one that most effectively covers most, if not all, of the fitness training bases in an efficient "package" - strength, flexibility and mobility, balance, proprioception, conditioning, joint care.
I think the GMB people have said it is not a hypertrophy program, but I've found that their advice to slow things down (to get a better feeling for the movements) have actually helped put on quite a bit of muscle, especially in the upper body. After all, building muscle requires time under tension and isn't that what slowing it down basically is?
In short, I'd highly recommend this program!”
“Elements has made me stronger, more mobile and flexible, and it has increased my physical confidence. I’m 42 years old, and now my 17 year old is joining me, because she thinks it would be cool to do handstands and stuff. We love Elements. And it set us up for further development without becoming redundant. I love doing Floor Loco and going back to the Elements basics. Strong program. Highly recommend.”
