Professional, personal, and funny, these guys know their stuff, create fantastic programs full of value, and really make you feel confident that you can learn some pretty epic moves. GMB rules!

GMB’s programs are so good, I wish I’d created them myself.

Al Kavadlo

Bodyweight Strength Expert

The GMB Fitness team has always impressed me with their practical, systematic approach to exercise.

Elements

Strength, Flexibility, and Control are the 3 elements of physical autonomy, and Elements gives you a solid foundation in all of them with simple locomotive movement patterns you can do anywhere.

8 Weeks of Daily Programming
Balanced Training
Suitable for Beginners
Clear Instruction
No Equipment

We designed this program to be the perfect introduction to GMB.

Rob Arthur

Raleigh, NC, United States

I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to complete many of the movements due to limitations as a result of aforementioned shoulder issues. I couldn't have been more wrong! I've been able to move at my own pace, and ease into the movements a little bit at a time. Working through Elements has helped me develop stability and range of motion with my shoulder that I never thought I'd regain.

Establishing an uncomplicated exercise routine at home was really important. With a toddler running around, Elements offered a safe program that could be done anywhere, anytime and potentially in PJs.

Justin Hepler

Scottsdale, AZ, United States

Over the last decade I have had my left shoulder rebuilt, multiple herniations of my lumbar spine and even a broken neck, and today I am stronger than I have ever been. I am amazed by your programs and what they do. I am living proof that they work and I am truly humbled.

Sandi York

Buffalo, NY, United States

I didn't expect to feel so good. About halfway through Elements, a nagging lower back pain I lived with for years was suddenly gone. I move a lot more freely, in general, and have greater mobility in my hips and shoulders which helps with all of my outdoor activities.

Russ Taeza

HI, United States

By the end of the course, those little aches [in my lower back] have completely gone. And I am steadily gaining additional strength, improved body posture, balance, motor control, and body awareness as I continue to practice and explore the movements.

Amanda

Monkey and Frogger definitely force my hips into a deeper squat which I feel gives me more range of motion and flexibility. It has also built up my upper body strength which has prepared my body for other movements such as handstands!

Amarjeet Bains

India

I signed up for Elements, and I must say that your programs are really AMAZING! I thought I was born with the ability not to squat! Now I can squat deep fairly well... THANK U SOOOOOO MUCH!

I'm AMAZED at how much my active mobility has improved in just 3 weeks of Elements. I no longer have chronic tension in my neck, my shoulders move better-than-ever, and getting into deep squats feel effortless now. I feel so much more in control of my body, and feel like my body has a lot more options for moving around now. It's incredibly fun to "explore" those movement options and just play!

Natasha Grout

United Kingdom

Elements will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the beginning of a new way of looking at movement and exercise, and branching away from the gym mentality. Elements allowed me to move anywhere and brought movement play into my life. It was a revelation, it felt so liberating and free.

Gardner B.

Kansas City, MO

I discovered all sorts of things related to core engagement, shoulder stability, and hip flexibility that were totally new! I even seem to learn new movements faster because my body awareness has been so improved.

Marie Harm

I retired from basketball earlier this year after playing weekly for 21 years because of knee pain. Thanks to Elements I am now planning to play a very short season over the summer. This means I can do a sport I love with a shorter recovery time.

Giovanni Joris

I just finished the first run through of the Elements program and absolutely enjoyed it. It needs no equipment so it's very mobile and minimal. And it has all components in it of mobility, stretching, strength, control, cardio, core training, preparation, etc.

Alexander Dain

Dusseldorf, Germany

I am actually playing in a badminton league and doing some calisthenics. And I see much progress in both activities in the last 2 months since I started Elements. I somehow "understand" the ways my body moves much better and the movements became much more creative.

Tyler Woods

Edmonds, WA

Elements helped show me that there was more to fitness than just picking up heavy things at a gym. It's brilliantly simple, and the new Praxis system with videos and everything is spectacular. By the end of the summer I did my first cartwheel and was signed up for a parkour class within a week!

Frédéric Fourié

Clermont-Ferrand, France

I am now in week 6 of Elements and really enjoying it. The progress has been great in terms of agility and motor control. The back pain is gone after just a week of practice. What GMB gave me is an opportunity to reconsider my approach to physical training with less pressure and more understanding of what is happening with my body.

Build Physical Autonomy

With Elements, you’ll build strength, flexibility, and body control through locomotive exercises and targeted mobility work, in just 8 weeks.

Vitamin

Vitamin is the only program devoted to building your movement quality with dedicated daily work on a variety of motor challenges and specially selected movement skills.

4 Weeks of Daily Practice
Build Body Control
Carefully Selected Skills
Adaptable to Any Level
No Equipment Needed

We designed Vitamin to address the obstacles to developing better movement ability.

Lauri Arumäe

Finland

Vitamin is incredibly accessible and flexible. All you really need is 15 minutes of internet access a day.

Pierre Wedemo

Stockholm, Sweden

Where I notice the biggest difference is in BJJ practice. I can move more freely and I have better control over my body, and I didn’t have bad control before, so it's quite impressive how much four weeks can do!

JP Trudel

Quebec

I now move better, with more control and precision over my body, and better mobility. I now learn new moves a lot faster, and I can really visualize what needs to happen to nail it. Before Vitamin, many moves seemed too complicated to do at my ability level, but now I can see how I would be able to do them.

I am always looking for new and different ways to move. Actually, Vitamin just reminded me of ways I used to move and had stopped. I was a professional Broadway Dancer and High Aerial Tumbler, and the Vitamin program just made me ask myself, "Why did you stop moving around on the floor?"

I was looking for something new to try and the movement style of training in GMB's Vitamin course peaked my interest. I was most excited to learn how to roll out of my handstand, and also about my improved wrist strength from the program. Plus my son likes rolling around on the ground with me, so it's a win win!

I signed up for Vitamin thinking that it would be helpful for my capoeira practice, but I had no idea just how much my vocabulary of movements would expand over 28 days. It's great that we don't need any special equipment for our sessions, and that just a few minutes of regular, daily practice can yield such a treasure trove of benefits.

Andreas B.

Germany

The GMB Vitamin course helped me to find the pleasure of the movement. The playful exercises helped me to find the way back to my childhood. At the age of 50, there are a lot of movements we don't risk to do anymore. Vitamin showed me it is still possible to do these things.

Michael Steininger

Hamburg, Germany

I wanted to make rolls, jumps, twists and turns look just as smooth as my pull-ups, muscle-ups, and dips. So the "goal" with the program was to be able to move with more grace and ease, controlled but dynamic, flowing if you will, and to be more free in my options of movement. Right now I'm getting to the point where I can just combine different movements to a flow as I go along. Doing this is fun as hell!!

Jouni Nenonen

Sweden
Visby, Sweden

The most important thing I’ve learned from Vitamin is that I’m not a hopeless case. It IS possible to learn to do new things and skills even if you are almost 50 years old and have never been involved in gymnastics before.

Explore What Your Body Can Do

Vitamin devotes 4 weeks of daily practice to mindfully exploring a wide variety of movement patterns for greater motor control and agility.

Grant Belvin

Kountze, TX

I was training for a hiking trip that would have a 4000-feet elevation gain over 6 miles. I used Mobility as a warm-up for my training sessions for about 50 sessions, 5-days per week. I immediately noticed how I could traverse over, under, and around rocks and dead-fall with ease. My flexibility, mobility, and strength at weird joint angles was incredible. Now I use Mobility as a warm-up for every single training session.

Isaac Pratt

Health Care Worker

I'm only on the 13th session of GMB Mobility and already I have gone days without pain in my whole body, especially my back. As a health care worker I feel I'm prepared to be unstoppable in every aspect of the job.

Brian Anderson

GMB Client

I came to you 7 weeks ago and enrolled in the Mobility program as a 59-year-old with a hip problem. I'm now moving around like a 20-year-old!

Simon Robinson

United Kingdom

I didn’t really understand how to stretch before or how to breathe while stretching. Grouping of specific areas also helped a lot because I didn’t understand that before either! I really liked the format.

Matthew Suderman

Quebec, Canada

It changed the way I stretched. Now in my static/PNF stretching I always use the pattern of dynamic stretching followed by PNF as described in FF. I find the dynamic movements make the PNF less uncomfortable so it’s easier to spend more time stretching. I also think that it reduces injury because the movements make me stronger near the current limits of my flexibility.

Steven Gooderham

England, United Kingdom

I have incorporated Jarlo’s flexibility tactics into my martial arts stretching and whilst teaching tonight I got stomach and chest to the floor on the pancake stretch. My progress is really down to doing things in the right way.

Kate Beutel

Bethlehem, PA, United States

I've completed Integral Strength, and I'm most excited about seeing my training reflected in better stamina during my aerial work. I train for FUN, in all its various forms! I really enjoy aerial arts and dance, so building my strength and flexibility for those things is a primary focus for me.

My flexibility has greatly improved, so much so that I am close to getting my L-sit. I also achieved my first unassisted chin-up from a dead hang. In all those years of weight training, I was never able to do chins without the assist of jumping from the ground.

Chris Shimana

Las Vegas, NV, United States

I'm a 47-year-old retired military leader and a competitive powerlifter, with a host of service connected injuries. Integral Strength has already reduced a number of the aches and pains that are typical among Master Class lifters and many people my age.

Laura Try

London, United Kingdom

I think my shrimp squat practise most days is what has made my legs strong enough to complete a challenge like this with little running training. Thank you, GMB!

Integral Strength is a well-designed program. It has a combination of strength and mobility and stretches, and it improved my core a lot, which helped me to be more stable.

Amanda Chung-Fat

Paris, France

Integral Strength was unlike any of the dozens of programs I had tried in order to get strong, especially in my upper body. The workouts flew by. I am stronger now than I was when I was rowing in college, but the best thing about the Integral Strength program is that it teaches simple, effective, and really cool movements that can be done anytime, anywhere, and for a lifetime.

Get Strong with Bodyweight Exercises

Integral Strength is an intermediate strength program that bridges the gap from generalized movement skill to more specific training.

Cato Grace

GMB Client

A number of the movements complemented my jiu jitsu training. It specifically helped with my strength and flexibility, both of which are important in BJJ. I can see doing Mobius again and quite possibly on a regular basis (once or twice a year or something like that).

Doing Mobius for the first time gave me more core strength, successfully applied in my 🏂 snowboarding adventures. It is so much easier and more fun now!

Dylan Corvidae

GMB Client

Mobius challenged me to move in new ways and strengthened movements that weren’t very familiar to me. I love how much of the program is dedicated to movement through different planes, ground, mid-level, and standing. As adults living in the modern westernized world we don’t spend enough time moving through different planes of motion and I feel like that really affects us physically and mentally.

Rachel Honeyman

Oceanside, NY

Within 2 weeks I’d completely cut out snacking, just by making a few small adjustments to my meals. And slowing down my eating and being more present in my meals cut my appetite down from NONSTOP OMG I COULD EAT A HORSE AT ANY TIME OF DAY to that of a normal person. I no longer feel like my appetite and cravings control me, and I’m able to enjoy my food way more. And that’s all without cutting a single food group or type of food from my diet.

Larry Franks

GMB Client

So far I think all the skills and info have been very valuable. Just being conscious of snacking as stress/procrastination has helped me avoid it.

Liz Maxim

Norfolk, UK

How I eat now is not something I'd ever have chosen before Eating Skills but my body is much more content on it, I have fewer cravings and I have lost a little weight. Having battled with food for decades, the ability to ask my body what it wants and get an honest answer is something I never thought would happen.

Jenn Wood

GMB Client Support

Since starting, I’ve lost 52 lbs. But that is really the least of it. I’ve gained self-compassion, and confidence in myself and what I am actually able to do with the right tools.

Al B.

GMB Client

I think more than anything is that my attitude toward food and eating has changed over the program. I have a deeper understanding about how food works for me, and what I need to do to feel better and healthier.

Rebecca Rashkin

Engineer & GMB Trainer

Eating Skills has provided a means for me to confront the deeper issues behind the behaviors I'm working on changing. It has reframed the way I look at my habits and brought awareness to how my eating patterns are a reflection of what's going on inside. This program has been more difficult than I thought it would be, but like learning a handstand, it's worth every bit of the challenge.

Snejana Shegheva

No matter what is your background, and physical abilities, there is a slew of benefits from being part of the AP community. I love being inspired by others in the community (I have seen what people can achieve here if they persist with their training), and I am thrilled that I stumbled on this program two years ago when I was searching something than can work for me.

Ashton Steinheim

The Alpha Posse Community is a great place to be. It gives you an opportunity to engage with professional trainers and other people on their journey to a better self, both body and mind.

Mathieu Garcia

Training should be fun, and being part of the AP really brings the best of both worlds. Honestly, I think I wouldn't have progressed this much if I wasn't part of the community, and I got to make really nice connections since I joined!

Janet Livesey

I am so glad I joined; it is so much more than I imagined. I value my Alpha Posse membership very highly. I have made many new friends from all around the world. Alpha Posse is quite habit forming – in the best possible way.

Peter Schultz

I've never gone so long without being injured. I've always done too much in too little time. That led to bad quality movement and eventually, injuries. With your advice in Alpha Posse, I started to train mindfully and that's when I started to work through my imbalances.
