“I have a newborn at home and was looking for a programme that I would be able to complete with minimal equipment and variable times each day. I got that and much more with Elements. I've enjoyed it far more than any other programme I've done and feel so much better after doing it.
I had pain and discomfort in my shoulders and spine which I had gone to physios, osteopaths and chiropractors about but to little avail. Those pains completely went away after a few weeks of Elements.
This is the first time I've been able to assess how I feel and judge on a day-to-day basis what kind of a workout I will do based off of that and for how long.
I am going to repeat Elements and can't wait to explore other GMB programmes.”
“I like the program, it’s definitely helping me to build strength and flexibility. I have had to adjust so exercises to protect my knees and pelvic floor. I would also prefer the balance of upper and lower body exercises to move towards more lower body exercises.”
Hey thanks for the comments. Pease message us if you're concerned with knee or pelvic floor health. The exercises are very safe and reviewed by experts, doctors, physical therapists, etc. We have additional resources that can help you - just get in touch.
“I love how Elements reconnects me to my body in ways lifting, running, swimming, etc. just doesn't do. It puts me in the drivers seat to make the session as challenging or neutral while still benefiting my body. If you're looking to break the mindset of "reps" and actually take the time to see what your body is capable of, GMB and Elements is a Great option. Plus, what other program can boast being a playful butt kicker?!”
“I juat finished my 25th session, and i am so happy with my progress! I am moving better (i know when to relax, when to brace, how to distribute weight, how to breathe) and overall i feel "stronger". My nagging joint aches are also significantly less (right shoulder, right wrist and right knee).
However, I miss conventional strength training, and i am looking forward to do more of that after I finish Elements :)
30 min session is my sweet spot. Tried the 15 min session, but I find it too short. I prefer having more time for practice and play.”
“I've been doing the laziest track possible: 15mn of Elements, every once in a while. sometimes 3-4 times a week, but honestly, more like 1-2. and crazy as it is, I see massive progress. I'm not practicing any other sports, (feeling some shame around it), except a bit of jumping on a trampoline. but I am so much stronger, more flexible, and i feel more mobile overal. the exercises that were super hard at first I can now consistently do with good form for the duration of each timer.
I also have no muscle aches afterwards, or barely. which is important in my line of work. so yeah, I'm really impressed.”
“I started with a knee injury and couldn't do just a single kneeling lunge. I started with a 15 minute routine and tried to expand it to 30 minutes but lacked in endurance. In a lot of supporting e-mails Ryan explained that progress will happen even if I just did 3 times 1 minute instead of 8 minutes full exercise. And so I started to do just 1 kneeling lunge till I felt pain. Next time I did 2 lunges a little deeper with less pain. Besides I was positively surprised how much fun exercising can be: especially bear and crab generate a lot more repetitions than just benching or curling without even thinking about it.
Finally after about 2 months my aches in knees and hips are nearly gone - I had never believed that I could be able to stay 2 minutes in a full squat but I actually can. I still have trouble to stay consistent - and want to say a big thank you to Andy and Ryan for giving me a little push every second or third day by sending me e-mails about different topics (that is the perfect addition to the program).”
“I learned about this program through an email from an orthopedic doctor that I follow online regarding fitness. He recommended the program I tried it out and I have been extremely impressed. It has helped me with flexibility and strength and aches and pains in various locations in my 74-year-old body. I am stronger and more fit and definitely have less aches and pains. I love the exercises. I think they are very physiologic and address all parts of the body. I recommend this program wholeheartedly.”
