Truly a career changing program!
Read more Read less of Timur M's review
ProductGym is the real deal!! Joining PG has been a careful and deliberate decision for me but I am really glad that I joined. This program has given me confidence to call myself a senior product manager. I love that I have ownership over how fast or slow I want to progress and that it is all about how much work you are putting in. Since joining, I have interviewed so much that I have to decline some requests for interviews. I have multiple offers in hand which I will be declining (which is something I would not imagine being able to do a year ago). In this program, it is important to find your pace and to stick to it! PG classes and materials are top notch since PG puts a great emphasis on receiving feedback and improving their offerings upon it. That being said, I found the most value in the amazing PG members community spread all over the world. Thank you, PG! -

A Wise Investment In Product Skills & Community

If you are a Product person or aspiring Product person looking to hone your skills and build a high octane network of Product professionals identifiable by their high IQ, high EQ, and strong commitment to help one another grow, RUN don’t walk (virtually) to Product Gym right now. Whether you’re taking your first steps into Product and wanting to learn best practices or you’re in a senior leadership role, you’ll find this ‘gym’ is the best space for you to practice and get results. I’m remote-first in the US leading Product at a globally distributed development agency so I understand the challenges of cultivating such a strong community in the digital space - Product Gym is a best in class example for their virtual community as well. -

Results!

This program contains vital information about Product Management that you just won’t find elsewhere. Not only does the program break down the basics of Product Management but they make sure to explain how the interview process works for PM’s as well. Product Gym would benefit those that are currently in their first PM role, or those looking to make a career change and pivot into Product Management. You’ll be joining a great community of like-minded individuals, all of whom are willing to help you by answering questions and giving you motivation and support. -

Results driven program
Read more Read less of Will H.'s review
These guys produce results. They are laser focused on helping you land PM job offers, and they have the process down to a science. Along the way, you will learn a lot about product management, branding, interviewing, and yourself, but the measurable result is multiple job offers within a reasonably short timeline. And they delivered.
You will have to put in the work, but if you trust the process you will see results. The program is primarily targeted at people looking to transition into product management for the first time, but I joined with two years of PM experience wanting to refine my understanding and approach. This was a big help, and dramatically improved the number and quality of interviews I received as well as my performance in those interviews.

I have a background in manufacturing and retail space. Recently, I moved to NYC and started applying to PM jobs. After months of struggling to land any interviews, I decided to join the Product Gym. In two months, I've had multiple final round interviews and landed an offer. It's a lot of work, but if you put the time in - you'll get the results. The course has a very clear purpose -- getting you a job. All of the curriculum and community has a very strong focus on doing just that. If you follow the instructions and be proactive, you'll be successful. -

PG is probably the only course that provides actual RESULTS! As someone who has program management experience, I was a bit hesitant especially with the price-tag attached but I am so glad I did! I not only applied but also got calls within a month of applying. The community is amazing and helps so much along the process, and the videos were definitely helpful. Before PG, I was getting around 1-2 rounds of interviews with PG in just a month I’ve gotten offers. This program works and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Put in the work and you’ll be working in Product in no time!

Product Gym - Your ticket to Product Manager dream
Read more Read less of NamuPM's review
I had an amazing experience with Product Gym. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and truly support you to achieve your goal for becoming a product manager. Unlike, other sources which only focus on trainings and product management courses, PG supports the candidate across all phases of the journey, right from branding to developing skills to 1 on 1 coaching for a personalized feedback. I love their concept of the Circle where you get to meet aspiring product managers to discuss interview experiences, understand new opportunities and set up peer mock interview/ case study sessions. I would highly recommend PG to anyone who is looking for a career change to Product management or is looking for new opportunities in Product management space. -

The process at Product Gym really works!! I have spent months earlier trying to break into product management with no success but the structured, well thought out program that Product Gym has will make sure you land an offer eventually. Like the name says, it is like a Gym and the more you put in, the more you get. For me personally, it took 4 months overall to get an offer but I was consistently breaking into final rounds much before I got my offer. Credit to Rich and Cody and the rest of the PG coaching staff and the community itself for creating possibly the best place to go to if you’re interested in landing a Product Management job! -

Product Gym has excellent resources and coaching available for all members seeking to grow into their current roles as product managers or move into new roles. Their student service is amazing; their coaches are very helpful and their onboarding experience is remarkable. They have a strong community of product managers who share their knowledge, experience and feedback with other members, which is a great plus. I would highly recommend Product Gym for anyone seeking to obtain training and career coaching in product management.

My experience at PG has been extremely satisfying. They have some of the best coaches and the course structure is curated well. There is a strong emphasis on how to prepare for interviews and a lot of support around that as well. I received multiple offers after going through the course. It’s rewarding for everyone who is willing to work hard. -

PG breaks down the objective of being a PM into smaller pieces, and provides you with the mentality, tools and community support to achieve that asap! I love the courses they give and how structured the roadmap is for you to land the job of your dreams.

Pros
It is a gym, not a spa! It keeps your mind trained to push yourself while holding yourself accountable.

Cons
Just not being able to meet physically due to being remote. -

Before joining PG, I was working as a PM at a maritime startup. I wanted to transition to a more established company and knew that landing a PM role would be tough. PG not only gave me the map and compass to cross that ocean, but they also helped me build a better boat and connect me with a community of likeminded people. Most importantly, they helped me find the confidence and build the momentum needed to push through the interviewing process. The content on how to interview and how to PM better was very thorough. I watched several of the class recordings multiple times because they were that helpful and continue to do so. Pros: Course content is of high quality and really helpful and so is their methodology. Cons: It can take some time to get in touch with their staff as they help a lot of applicants and can get really busy. -

Neha - NYC - Management Consultant Product Gym has changed my life! The PG team has created a first class curriculum that relevant and actionable unlike many other services. The competition for product roles is fierce, but PG makes sure to equip those who really want it with the right skills and tools. As a consultant I've always wanted to make the switch; however, my approach was broken. I was averaging 4-5 product management interviews a day with the PG method. It got to a point where I was declining interviews! The program promises results if you put in the work outlined by the team. The best thing is that there is no fluff or basic information you could easily find online, the material is 100% worth the money. Thank you Product Gym! -

Practical and tactical, Product Gym is an accelerator and community that supports your career interview as a product manager. Whether you are someone with experience, to someone fresh, Product Gym expands your toolkit in recruiting, provides strong resources to get you started, and the coaching and community to support you through the journey.
Product Gym focuses on helping you unlearn a lot of misconceptions and traditional recruiting viewpoints and then replaces it with confidence building exercises and discussions that help you be a better recruitee. Combined with the skills courses offered Tuesday and Saturday, Product Gym can really be a valuable experience. Just know that you will get feedback, it will take time, and it will not be easy. But it will be worth it. -

Good process missing areas
The program is generally altogether good. Compared to others they teach you how to do the interviews especially R1.
Pro Overall framework is good
Con Some areas need work. Dealing with R2s, Getting feedback in a timely fashion, missed/failed promises in their comparison matrix, Cost is also high -

Product Gym was incredible in helping me customize my background and refine my pitch for PM interviews. Coming from a Customer Success background and being 25 and very early in my career, I was initially hesitant that I could transition to Product Management. Product Gym’s class content, coaching calls, and interview strategy completely changed my mindset and confidence surrounding interviews. My lowest week of interviewing I had 9 interviews, and my highest week I had 21. The community aspect was a huge benefit as well in being able to ask questions to members from various industries and stay encouraged throughout the process. If you’re considering making the jump into Product Management, PG is the ONLY way to go! -
John Shields
Great Experience
They really provide all the resources you need to get interviews and get an offer. It will not be months of taking extensive classes on specific technologies but more giving you foundational knowledge that you can use to master the interview process and speak knowledgeably on PM topics. -

The Product Gym experience was fantastic. I have done several bootcamps and curriculums over the last couple years, but all were focused on education and taking the tried-and-true way to get into product management. Product Gym took a different approach and really set me up for success heading. With a relentless focus on application consistency and making members really work for offers, you begin to see results very quickly. The community is also a huge part of the experience. I met numerous individuals who were going through the exact same thing, and we were able to discuss challenges throughout the process. I would highly recommend Product Gym to anyone who is serious about becoming a Product Manager for the first time, or anyone who just wants to improve their interviewing skills and level up in their career. -

PG is invaluable
Read more Read less of Ash B's review
Joining Product Gym was with out a doubt the best career decision I have made since I graduated college. My professional life has been a winding journey with many detours, but I’ve wanted to be in product for a long time. I finally decided to take the plunge from marketing and research and really try to land a job in product. initially joined for the courses and to build out my product management skillset. While the classes are top-notch and the coaches and community are incredibly supportive, I’ve found the real value to be in the practical arena of landing a job and launching a career. The reality is that you can learn much of what you need to know about product management roles on the job (though it doesn’t hurt to have some coaching and help!); it’s far more challenging to learn what you need to know to get that job in the first place. Product Gym teaches you what you need to know to get a job in product, and helps you land that first job. In fact, many of PG’s principles would be useful in any job hunting process regardless of industry or function. I’m confident that I the polished interviewing skills that I’ve developed with PG will be with me for life - and that is pretty invaluable. Super grateful and appreciative for PG and the whole community! -

Product Gym is a great community to join for both people who are new to Product Management and are aspiring to become Product Managers and also for those who are already seasoned PM’s looking to make their next big career jump. The resources and materials that you have access to is a tremendous help in preparing for your interviews. The instructors are professionals working in various aspects of Product Management and the knowledge, guidance, insight and expertise that you will gain by attending the sessions gives you a big boost during your interviews. Plus, you can interact and ask questions freely during the sessions to help you develop a firm understanding on the subject matter. Additionally, the coaching they provide is very helpful during the entire interview process and it’s great to know that you can always get the help/guidance you need promptly. The community is another great aspect of Product Gym, it allows you to interact with your peers and help each other along the way throughout the process. Overall, my experience with Product Gym has been fantastic and I would highly recommend joining the program to anybody who wants to become a PM or who is already a PM and would like to further grow in their career as a PM!

Best experience for someone looking to get into product management and the best decision I made for myself when I decided to transition into product management. Before Product Gym, I was struggling with even just getting initial interviews. This is also a course that requires self-discipline and self-motivation to achieve results.
Amazing instructors, coaches, and curriculum. Community of members is so supportive and willing to help each other. -

Product Gym has absolutely been such a great resource to me. I've gone through a lot of different courses and programs but only this one produced real results and helped me land a job in product. Prior to joining, I was a product manager for apparel products and I was having a hard time landing interviews and when I do, I could not proceed to the next rounds. Product Gym significantly helped me in my approach!
Going through the program is a rigorous process that involves a lot of drive and dedication, but with a very supportive community, coupled with high-caliber coaches and workshops, I was able to pull through it all and learn so much about not just how to get into product management but also with myself as well and with what I can accomplish. The program is just so worth it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get into product management! -

Product Gym offers a one-of-a-kind, life-changing career acceleration program. You are promised ambitious results, but rest assured that PG will deliver!
PG flips the script on recruitment by empowering candidates and encouraging them to take the reins. The heavy (and brutal) early emphasis on articulating your unique story and defining your branding acts as a powerful springboard for success in your interviews. The supportive coaches and knowledgeable instructors keep you engaged in a cycle of continuous improvement. The highly engaged, collaborative, and welcoming community of members is a valuable asset.
It’s called Product Gym for a reason. You get what you put in. Hard work and focus are essential to be successful in this program. Progressing through the process breeds confidence. Some recommendations might seem unconventional but keep the faith, and the results will come!
If you choose PG and put in the work, then congratulations in advance!

I have been job hunting the past 6 months without much success. I was able to get only 3 interviews which I bombed. Joining PG helped me in many ways - applying to scale and strategically applying to non-target cities was one of the best pieces of advice I got so far. It helped me hone my pitch and improved my confidence in interviewing. I was attending 5-6 interviews per week, though it was hectic, the momentum was important to keep you going. I would recommend PG to anyone who is seriously considering moving to Product Management. -

Exceptional Program

Product Gym has exceptional staff, content and preparation material for honing product skills. They prepare you thoroughly for every round of an interview process, and provide extensive resources, professional support and classes to support their members. Most importantly, they have an extremely flexible schedule that can accommodate the schedule of any busy professional. This program is worth every penny for any professional looking to improve their skills in the product space and take their career to the next level.
Another great part of the program is the amazing community. I really enjoyed building out my professional network and meeting new people through the program. I am glad to have met such an amazing group of people! -

Product Gym has been quite an adventure and I now see products, companies, and product jobs in totally different ways. To productize one self, and really entrench the methodologies of product in your day to day life, with the help of coaches, peers, friends and systems that works is what this is about. It is probably one of the best investment I have done for myself. I not only have grown professionally in ways that can't possibly be done by any other boot-camp or schools, I've also gained invaluable experiences that is worth the investment alone. I know this lifetime membership and journey has just begun, but it is already an incredible ride that I will always cherish. For anyone that's serious about growth, professionally and personally, this is something you can not afford to not get involved. As they all say, I wish I had found this sooner because of how much I appreciate this. -

At the time of joining PG, I was already a Senior PM at a Bay Area startup, however, I knew that my interviewing skills needed to improve if I wanted to transition to a more established company.
Applying for product jobs is hard work and can at times feel like you’re sailing across the ocean. PG not only gave me the map and compass to cross that ocean, they helped me build a better boat and connected me with a community of friendly folks to sail with.
Most importantly, they helped me find the confidence and momentum to be the applicant I believed I could be. -

I joined product gym 2 months back. Prior to joining PG I was trying to study about product management and applying for jobs but I wasn’t getting any calls. PG helped me with resume building, cover letter and everything that I would need to create a good profile. There are weekly sessions on different topics which teach you more about hands on approach towards product management. There are also separate sessions with the career coach and they are more personal and very insightful -

Clearly I can see the difference between applying yourself and applying with PG's guidance. The course is well crafted and the team has put the content very thoughtfully to suit everyone's needs. The PM course is top notch and the classes are conducted by some of the best Product people on this earth. All the classes are unique and every slide presented are very well designed.
The team really makes sure that every small or big questions are answered and they go out of the way to make sure the clarifications are provided. At the end of this course- I feel much confident and enthusiastic about Product Management Career
The team and the fellow PG members are very matured and they conduct themselves very well. What is taught by PG is unique and unlike anything out in the market. Easy and clear instructions provided for every step of interview process from applying to offer step.
Its a gym- not a SPA.. ::) They definitely make you work hard and this hard work definitely brings the best out of you. The most toughest part for me was applying for the jobs. But again- there is a reason why its a GYM and Not a SPA. :) -

Currently located in the Los Angeles area and have been an associate-level product manager since 2018. Product Gym coaching and mentorship really added rocket fuel to my career in terms of interviewing, communication, and general product thinking. It is a great network to be a part of and participate in. The program rightly touts a reliable and repeatable process that gets results and is helpful at any stage of your career. I personally enjoyed the mentorship and coaching from teachers with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. The content will not only land you the job but also help you succeed in the first 30/60/90 days of starting. -

Great career dev course focused on personal branding and interviewing
Read more Read less of Jonathan Harris's review
I have learned a tremendous amount as a member of Product Gym. Unlike other Product Management classes and career development programs, PG focuses squarely on equipping its members for effective personal branding and interviewing. Much of what they teach is counter intuitive, or at least contradicts conventional career development thinking; but conventional approaches were not getting me anywhere, and I can attest to the fact that PG's approach works.
Also, note that PG's classes *will* make you a better PM in your current role, whether you already have the Product Manager title or not. In short, I highly recommend the program. -

I got the chance to attend a webinar hosted by PG back in November 2020. As an international student with limited time to find a job, I was struggling to get calls let alone offers. I enrolled with PG in December 2020 and received my first offer today! PG has a rigorous methodology that works during the job hunt. I especially loved the live classes; those are the real treasure if you are transitioning into the role. All the coaches are available for your questions and doubts and they go beyond to help you, just trust the process.

Demanding, But Most Worthwhile Things Are...
Read more Read less of BWG's review
What separates Product Gym from other offerings is the relentless focus on channeling product management knowledge into successful interviewing. There are many ways to learn the “academics” of product management but PG is unique in keeping the focus not only on learning the ropes but presenting effectively in interviews. That to me is the core of the value prop. There is also a healthy culture of collective support among members and I personally responded to the high-accountability, no sugar-coating approach of the founders. It’s a gym, not a spa, as they say...
Pros: The core methodology behind attacking the interview process is worth the money alone, although it requires letting go of what you think you know about resumes, interviewing and how much effort is required. There is support for case study exercises, which is great, and weekly coaching sessions.
Cons: Not for the faint of heart, i.e. you have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone to win. It's not a con so much as a fact, but speaking of facts, interviewing sucks so you might as well get good at it while you're at it. -

Want to be a product manager?
Landing your first product gig will be brutal. Getting another role is still not easy even with prior product experience. Product Gym will beat you into a marketable candidate, but don't expect them to make it easy. (Then again, product management careers are not for the faint of heart either.) -

I came from Tech Consulting and BA background and secured 6 offers for Sr Product Managers positions in NYC and SF with Product Gym coaching and support. If you still have concerns I strongly recommend you to consider these facts.- I got a 60% pay increase taking my dream offer. Thanks to negotiation strategies that I learned at Product Gym.
- Product Gym’s community is amazing and all people that I met and became friends with found a dream PM job.
- I had 10-15 interviews every week and was able to improve my interviewing skills and get through all of the rounds. Product Gym will teach you how to do that.

I attended the program as they were going remote and I was somewhat hesitant but ultimately followed through with it. Let me tell you the process and willingness to put yourself out there is 90% of the work. The classes they offer were great and really helped me learn what to focus on and where to improve. I can not emphasize this enough...FOLLOW THE PROCESS. It works, and it works VERY well. Within 2 weeks I had landed 2 interviews, as I am writing this review I have completed 19 interviews with 8 more to go next week. These guys & gals will help you change the way you look at the work you have done, and they will help you grow confident in your ability to do the job. So go ahead and give it a shot. -

PG Process works if you put in the work
Pros:- Product gym process works if you put in the work, they have a proven process of getting # interviews per week if you follow their guidelines
- Community is super supportive and generally willing to help you with resume reviews, mock interviews, case studies, etc.
Pros:- Virtual cohort experience could be improved since COVID
