“I've only been doing Elements for about a month, but I have found it easier to prioritize than many workouts because I actually look forward to doing it. I've seen some improvements in my upper body strength and I like that my brain must be engaged to follow the specific movements required. It helps me in my goal of calming my mind, especially on stressful days.”
“I've been using GMB programmes ever since buying the GMB paralettes programme a long time ago. After quite the bit of hesitation I soon thereafter bought elements (main hesitation back then: was it not too simple or would it be challinging enough) and that programme has made such a massive impact in how I move and think about excercise. Three weeks ago I started with the programme again for what feels like the gazillionst time (but more accurate probably around 10 in the past 7 years ) as it is my fall back programme whenever I feel stuck with movement, sports etc. Yes it helped me with handstands and soft acrobatics but most importantly it helped me move better with less pain and stiffness and therefor I can be more playful with my kids.”
“I have only been practicing for just over 4 weeks and I'm pleasantly surprised to see how the continued emphasis on control of these base movements has improved my athletic performance in other activities like skiing. The approach is great and before I get glued to my office chair I am grateful to wake up my body and mind hoping around the living room floor-which usually gives my wife and daughter something to smile at. Huge thank you.”
“First: GO SLOW. I tried to blow through this and, technically could do the things, but I ended up with a lot of issues, including a minor injury, because I was doing things wrong.
I do a lot of weight lifting and HIIT. I was feeling burnt out, so I came back to this program to take a break. It's a great mix of difficult, opening, and mindful. This program is so much fun for me.”
“I'm an active senior woman.
Elements is a great option for my goals of maintaing and improving my flexibility, mobility and balance. The time and intensity options for each sesion are great and the videos rock.”
“Despite working out for decades, I have never finished a workout program--until Elements. I have various injuries in my shoulders, knee and my left wrist, and yet I found that the program offered enough variations and was gradual enough that I could modify my way through. I'm a lot stronger and more balanced and I'm excited to go through Elements again to refine the movements. I can't recommend this program enough.”
“I'll keep this as short as I can, but I could go on for a while about this program and this group.
Elements is like a re-introduction to your body. It doesn't seem intuitive that taking an investigative approach to movement ability and quality would help progress fitness goals, but I assure you it does. The carry-over into life and other fitness activities is 100%. As well, each session is inspiring in its self-controlled effortfulness combined with skill development. I always look forward to my session, and I always feel fulfilled afterwards. It's the cake and the icing for me :)
I have a background in physical therapy (PTA), an LMP license, yoga teacher training, and a fellowship in Functional Science (applied kinesiology). All that is to say movement is not foreign to me, and still I am learning so much with each program I've purchased from GMB (I own 10 of their programs currently). I'm a lifer and very proud of it!!
If you try nothing else, try Elements. You will be happy you did.”
