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 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.

Build Physical Autonomy

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

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. I now learn new moves a lot faster, and I can really visualize what needs to happen to nail it.

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

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.

Focused Flexibility +

Most stretching programs give you a generic routine to follow, or worse yet, insist that you need specialized equipment. FF works with your body to improve range of motion quickly and easily.

Proven Method & Protocol
Targeted to Your Specific Needs

There is no more complete or easier-to-use flexibility system available.

Jin Wa

FF helped me work into a full squat, something I’ve never been able to do, in about a month of training. The GMB programs have been the easiest for me to follow and adhere to.

Simon Fagg

NY, United States

So far after one flexibility workout, I can safely say that was far more satisfying than anything I’ve ever used for stretching workouts before. For once something actually felt as though it will be effective, and dare I say, stretching has gone from chore to exciting!

Charlie Brown

South Carolina, United States

I was a stiff old cabinet maker who never much thought about flexibility until I found FF, which gives me a very easy-to-follow, nuts-and-bolts approach, and a process for building the necessary skills one step at a time.

Linda Jackson

CA, United States

My pancake stretch just improved really fast. I went from barely being able to bend forward at all to being able to be a pancake and being flat on the floor. The swiftness of the change was really gratifying and surprising and fun. In yoga, I used to be able to do a hero pose with my knees bent back, lying down, and that hasn't been accessible to me for a few years. The other day I was able to go all the way back! It was like somebody else's legs.

Matthew Suderman

Quebec, Canada

Focused Flexibility 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.

Dunte Hector

The Fit Life Personal Training
Austin, TX, United States

Chronically tight hip flexors (sagittal flexion) and weak lateral movers were causing extreme lower back discomfort after running, jumps, and heavy squatting. Focused Flexibility let me take a targeted approach, which proved more effective than the "stretch this" instructions I got from a massage therapist.

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.

Alun Thomas

Canada

The Focused Flexibility program has actually allowed me to focus on the long neglected area of my own flexibility, and I'm now able to sleep for 8 hours without waking up in severe pain throughout the night.

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.

Get Flexible Fast

Focused Flexibility is based on assessing your specific restrictions to easy movement and working on them consistently with the best protocols available.

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 can get into bridge position now, and 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

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.
