“Elements (like all the GMB programs I've worked with) is a well-thought-out, graduated, creative, fun, smart, and supportive approach to overall body fitness. I can't say enough about it. It's an "animal movement"/body weight thing that can be done pretty much anywhere, as a workout itself or combined with other things you do and uses hardly any equipment. It's a very flexible system - one that can be tailored to your daily life and also used in various way - straightforward, repeating sessions. etc. Its main achievement, I think, is being able to provide a seemingly personal coach-like/private-teacher experience in the neutral world of digital machines. This is done, at least for me, through the personal quality of the video segments, the way the main instructor communicates, the different body types they use for demonstrations and the availability of email support. The videoes are easy to understand and well considered and build on each other so a certain amount of success is almost guaranteed and felt in your body pretty quickly. I've been doing it on and off for three years, have repeated it several times, each time getting deeper into my body's possibilities. Doing Elements has deepened my understanding of my body, its capabilities, its limitations (and shown that these can be faced, worked with and opened up generally) and given me a certain joy and confidence in moving that I had lost touch with or didn't know I had. I have practiced yoga for many years and one thing that drew me to GMB was that their instructions - though coming out of a more gymnastic, martial art place I think - have a seemingly yogic understanding or things.”
“I got the old Elements a long time ago but never managed to get through it. The new Elements is a can’t fail program! Still lots of options re timing, scheduling, scalability but just hit the start button and follow along and before you know it, you’ve completed another session. No question I’ll get through it this time.”
“I love to move my body, and this training method allows a step by step progressive method to enjoyably train your body in order to maintain athleticism as we age... or even develop significantly more acrobatic skills in the present. The goals are yours to set. GMB has got the program.”
“Each session doesn't feel like a workout but like a 45-minute movement and play session. Just awesome. The simple structure, good explanatory videos and easy integration into everyday life make Elements one of the most enjoyable and fun workout experiences. Not having to pay attention to the repetitions, but being able to fully concentrate on the movement was a completely new experience in training. Thanks for the great effort and the amazing workouts.”
“I have a full-time corporate job as a researcher and part-time as fitness trainer. I also do weight training & calisthenics. I have frequent business trips to rural areas where there is no gym (even no yoga mat!) GMB Elements helps to keep me fit (and sane!) especially during business trips. At that moment what you need is NOT ONLY strength, but also some quality movements, cardio, and OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE FUN! Elements provides them all *big huggg*”
