If you’re here, you’re probably interested in moving more smoothly, gaining control over your body, learning new skills, or some combination thereof.
You’ve come to the right place.
Our love of teaching is why we do what we do, and our seminars and workshops are the perfect opportunity for hands-on help with movement and strength skills you’d like to learn, and then some.
We offer a bunch of different types of seminars but here’s a little taste of what a seminar with GMB looks like:
It was a fantastic experience, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate everything you all did to make it that way for us.
Having been to several GMB seminars, I also want to let you know that the experience is getting better each time — damn impressive, because it started with a high bar. Between your individual contributions, the constant improvements in presentation and format, and the fact that everyone that shows up as an attendee is a damn fine human being, I gotta give this one two thumbs up.
Our workshops and seminars are interactive, hands-on, and most importantly, they’re a lot of frickin’ fun!
A lot of fitness seminars try to jam too much into one day, or squeeze as many people into a workshop with a single instructor, pretty much guaranteeing you won’t get the kind of attention you’re paying for.
We don’t do things that way.
We want you to get as much out of our events as possible, so we’re careful to structure our seminars to ensure the pacing is appropriate to the topics being covered. And individualized attention is our main priority, so whenever possible and/or necessary (depending on number of participants) we’ll have either multiple instructors, or a single instructor with assistants.
Simply put, when you attend a GMB seminar or trainer-run workshop, you’ll learn a lot, meet like-minded people, get personalized help, and have a fun, memorable weekend.
Here’s a look at our upcoming seminars and workshops…

No experience of movement or fitness is required. The only essential attribute is the willingness to crawl around, explore different body movements, and have fun! This workshop can be the first step to developing a movement practice or it can be just what you need to take your practice to the next level!

Ryan Hurst and GMB Fitness is coming to the Palo Alto, California area this September for a special 2-day movement seminar! You’ll learn concepts that bring more autonomy to your physical life along with practice strategies and practical techniques for getting the most out of every exercise.
Ryan Hurst and GMB Fitness is coming to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area this October for a special 2-day movement seminar! You’ll learn concepts that bring more autonomy to your physical life along with practice strategies and practical techniques for getting the most out of every exercise.
Great! We’d love to come see you and teach you what you and your peers would like to learn. Here’s a quick run-down of some of the workshops and seminars we and/or our trainers offer:
This is the GMB full platter event. In this two-day seminar, we cover the GMB approach to strength, flexibility, and motor control. Physical Autonomy Seminars are led by Ryan himself, so all coordination will go directly through us.
This is generally a one-day workshop that covers locomotion, mobility, and mindful movement. These workshops are trainer-led and cover the basics of the GMB Method, setting you up for more advanced movement skills in the future.
These one-day workshops focus on covering the basics of working with either the rings or parallettes. These are led by our expert trainers, who will take you through the fundamental skills on the rings or p-bars.
Some of the specific skills workshops we or our trainers have run in the past include basic handbalancing, advanced handbalancing, and muscle-ups – just to give some examples. There’s lots of possibilities for skills workshops you could get set up.
If you’re interested in setting up a GMB seminar or workshop near you, get in touch and let us know where you’re located, what type of event you’re interested in, and what kind of space you have in mind.
We’ll then either connect you with a trainer near you, or if it sounds like a good fit, we’ll let you know the next steps for setting up a GMB Seminar directly with us.
We have hosted three sold out GMB seminars in the last 2 years. The seminar itself is a great experience. Ryan is a great guy and amazing teacher. The GMB programs are fantastic but the seminar is a notch above that.
It's very easy communicating with GMB staff, that helped a lot with organizing the seminar. We tried to combine seminar dates in Europe so multiple could be hosted in a short timeframe. That way it's easier for Ryan timewise and also cuts the travel expenses.
The last seminar we had almost 30 participants and were sold out 2-3 weeks in advance. I would say that about 30-40% heard about it through the GMB newsletter. I kept contact with Amber and Jarlo if I needed some things in the newsletter or facebook.
During the seminar we had a great time with all the trainers and participants. We were together as a group during and after the seminar. No diva trainers with GMB!
For our third seminar we wanted to do something different and talked with Ryan about a speciality seminar with just handstands and muscle ups. Because this is a lot of upper body work Ryan came up with some great ideas to keep the training during the seminar balanced but intense for the two days. Worked out perfectly.
Organizing the seminars felt like a collaboration with GMB. They help and think along with you to make the seminar a great experience for everyone.
