“I love the progressions as they keep the program exciting and keep me motivated to return the next day.
All in all the GMB method is very intuitive and makes perfect sense. Also the crew is always helpful and they provide wonderful guidance when necessary”
“While I do enjoy trying modalities outside of GMB, there are plenty reasons why GMB is my primary practice. Integral Strength is one of their programs that remains a staple in my yearly training cycle. With the new update for different apparatus pathways, it's a no brainer to continue to keep it that way!
The skill development based practice of a wide variety of moves helps provide access to different layers and levels of gains (strength, control, and flexibility). This makes revisiting GMB programs for multiple iterations well worth the investment.
Oh, and of course it's worth mentioning the getting strong part 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“I have been through both Elements (several times) and Mobility. I consider myself a pretty die hard GMB fan. I am now on my second work through of Integral Strength. First time was body weight only, this second time through I am using bar option. The course rocks - challenging and fun with TONS of room to grow and get better. I am feeling stronger than ever and as an added bonus, some nagging pain I have had in both my bicep and knee have cleared up (which I think is due to the exercises isolating each side, helping to smooth out cross body weaknesses but I am no expert in this space). Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness!”
“I used to be a fairly "strong" guy. I climbed a lot and I could do a strict one arm pullup. Then I caught COVID early in the pandemic and nearly died. I was in intensive care for a while and came out 40 pounds of muscle lighter. To cut a long story short, I had no strength any more. I had been using GMB mobility to deal with injury problems before my illness and liked it, so I went for integral strength to try and get back some strength. Best decision I ever made! I now have balanced strength. I can pull, I can push and both legs have equal strength (turns out my right leg was very dominant in two leg exercises, integral strengths focus on one leg drills really helped with that). I am now performing as well as ever in my chosen sports, despite having less sports specific strength. I also get injured less. The negatives? Not much really. I found it a bit repetitive, but nothing like as boring as mindlessly churning out "reps" in the gym. I am not jacked, but then size is the enemy in my sport of choice, climbing. Overall a great program which compliments climbing brilliantly, as it tends to emphasize pushing strength slightly more than pulling strength. For those that have not climbed, pushing is an antagonist movement that needs to be trained to avoid muscular imbalance.”
“After several of the GMB programs, this one is my favorite. I've worked with the programs enough that I'm now pretty comfortable adjusting exercises and timing as needed for that day, which works great for me for working around multiple chronic aches and pains, weariness from a day of work, etc.
I also do other workouts through the week, but I consistently feel best the next day after doing a GMB program.”
“After more than twenty years of powerlifting, and all of the associated nagging injuries, this program was exactly what I needed to get back in touch with my body and start moving well again. It's exactly the right kind of challenging; the moves and regressions let me work where I am, with an eye towards what I can eventually accomplish, but never leave me beaten up.”
“I've had a niggling shoulder injury for years, and have to be careful about the strength training I do. I was looking for something that was bodyweight based and included building strength through a good range of motion, so decided to try out Integral Strength. I've since bought Sequences, Vitamin, Mobius, and more, because I love the system and approach. As far as Integral Strength itself goes, I've just started on my second time through the programme, and I'm still progressing (I took a break after the first time through and worked on Sequences and others). My shoulder has improved, my strength and control have improved, and overall I'm really impressed with the results. I just need to get some rings so that I can try that version next time!”
