“My main criteria for any exercise program is getting me to actually do it somewhat consistently, and all the GMB programs have been great for that. The exercises are generally fun, there's enough variety to keep things interesting, and it always feels like you're progressing and learning new things. Most of the issues I had have been addressed in updates (adding in more variety in warm-ups, adding in exercises to do before you can manage stalls were the big ones).
The one thing I think could be better is more of an explanation of why you're doing particular exercises and what they're supposed to be working (which is sometimes in the videos but not always), especially when an exercise is being shared between programs with differing goals.”
“Elements was a great program that helped me become more flexible, stronger and more confident in my movement. Surpisingly (to me) it also helped me improve at soccer. I look forward to repeating Elements in the future.”
“For me, the Elements program is exactly what its name says. The basics that are worth taking care of regularly... I'm working on them for about the third (maybe fourth) time since 2018 and have never regretted it. I feel like I get a little bit better each time. And I also feel the overlap into other "disciplines" (I don't mean sports - because I don't consider myself an athlete - but regular disciplines... work, family, kids, etc.). Is it not enough? I don't think so ;)”
“GMB Elements is the first exercise program that I have been able to stick with. It is fun, starts slowly and builds into impressive skills that provide freedom of movement, and the ability to pursue the activities that make you happy. Find a fitness routine that works for you and make it a life-long practice. Try elements, it just may be your ticket to autonomy.”
“I've been back and forth at trying to get into some habit of activity, and Elements has been the guide to help me achieve it. I have noticed that as I follow the program regularly, I have had less aches and pains that are associated with my desk job. If I ever feel out of the routine, my body would tell me! Getting back into the program would always be the way to get my body back to feeling better.”
“I love the programme: after finishing it, I've started from the beginning again. Elements improved my mobility and also gave me more self-consciousness: I feel I know my body better and, even if I can't do all the advanced exercises, the programme taught me that the most important thing is being consistent and concentrating on the movements. With this philosophy in mind, I got rid of frustration and started appreciating my sessions improving without even realizing that I was really achieving my goals.”
