Product Gym (PG) is an online career coaching program offering strategy, skills instruction, and career training aimed at helping career changers. Product Gym includes two tracks: Skills Development and Career Acceleration. PG members get lifetime access to the fully remote program, which offers flexible start times, a comprehensive curriculum, and career support to help members secure their target product job.
The Skills Development track helps members to develop the mindset, knowledge, and skills of product management. It offers 20+ courses in business fundamentals; technical fundamentals; and product management career skills such as UX research, API, roadmapping, product marketing, case studies, and whiteboarding. This track can be completed in 3 months part-time, or at a flexible, self-led pace. Skills Development classes are led by subject matter experts who specialize in various subjects related to product management. PG members can join classes live, or choose to watch class recordings at their own pace.
The Career Acceleration track helps aspiring Product Managers communicate their value to employers in order to generate, secure, and negotiate job offers. Product Gym’s strategy for career changers and upgraders includes resume help, coaching on professional branding and positioning their background, interview and offer negotiation training, and community networking.
Both tracks can be taken flexibly, at the same or different times. On average, PG members spend 7 – 10 hours per week on both tracks combined. Once joined, members have access to all of PG's classes, community resources, and support for life.

Before joining Product Gym, I was lost. My experience was all over the place, I was applying for different kinds of positions to see what is out there and never really got past recruiter rounds. I read about Product Managers and really like what I saw, so I decided to give PG a try after reading all these great reviews, and I can only say – WHY DIDN’T I JOIN EARLIER!

The whole process is not easy. You will need to put in the work and hours. You will want to learn, especially if you have never been a product manager before. You will need to get used to rejections. I’ll have to say this though, I used to beat myself up with every rejection, but with PG’s process, I didn't really have the time to sulk!
I definitely learned a lot about product management as I went through the program and really appreciate the support that is there, not only from the PG team, but also the other folks that are in the program as well.

I joined Product Gym after getting disappointed and wasting my money on Product School. The approach that Rich and Cody take to help people to get their first product management job is practical & effective.

Product Gym - A worthy investment if you want to be a PM
PG is simply at another level of its understanding about the hiring process. They know the exact process to get you hired and perform well as a PM. The process is tough and demands a lot of hard work and dedication.
However, if you put the hard work as expected in the 'GYM' as it is referred to, you will get the results. The program is structured really well to pay attention to every minute detail that goes into the job search.

However, if you put the hard work as expected in the 'GYM' as it is referred to, you will get the results. The program is structured really well to pay attention to every minute detail that goes into the job search. The course structure is good enough for you to learn the concepts and enable the candidate to not just land and offer but to do well in the role.
Only con: Sometimes you feel lost in first 2-3 weeks about the next steps. A little more interaction would help in that phase. Although after that you are on cruise control :)
Keep up the good work PG team!

This is Product Gym, not Product Spa
It's been a great honour to be part of the Product Gym community. I'm a big fan of what the founders said "This is Product Gym, not Product Spa". Honestly, I didn't quite understand the statement at the beginning, but now I believe it makes perfect sense, really!

I'm a big fan of what the founders said "This is Product Gym, not Product Spa". Honestly, I didn't quite understand the statement at the beginning, but now I believe it makes perfect sense, really!
As a Product Manager, we not only have to master the product knowledge and principles, but also we need to build the foundations of the product mindset. Indeed, helping professionals from various backgrounds build a solid product mindset is one of the key differentiators between Product Gym and other Product Management training programs. Once you've built the product mindset, it opens up a whole new outlook and keeps you motivated in the product world.
In fact, everyone is truly a Product Manager of your own and everyday you're building yourself as a "Product" along the journey of your life. You constantly experience the ups and downs, but meanwhile you work hard to be nimble and robust to reach your product goals at scale, which, I believe, is the most valuable lesson I have learned from Product Gym.
Thanks Rich, Cody, PG coaches and peers for all your help, support and encouragement! I was so lucky to have you all with me in my PG journey! - Artur GacaStudent • Product Management • New York CityMay 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Product Gym
Being a product manager already I had some initial reservations coming into Product Gym as I had been getting some interviews and was getting some interest, but after is when things really blew up. They really helped me nail down my messaging, revamp all my content, and ace the case study interview. You can honestly even get 10+ interviews a week and really find a job that you like and want rather than just what's there.
I cannot recommend them enough for anyone on the fence about...Being a product manager already I had some initial reservations coming into Product Gym as I had been getting some interviews and was getting some interest, but after is when things really blew up.

Before starting Product Gym, I was in a dead end Administration position and incredibly burnt out, working such long hours for pay that I could barely survive on.In looking for a career that my skills could transfer into, I discovered product management.A really great thing about Product Gym is that they offer an initial discovery call where they meet with you, and talk about your background and skills and assess if you're a good match for the program before you're approved to sign up.The program is a treasure trove of all of the different aspects that you need to know about product management, all taught by different part-time instructors that are actively practicing their craft, and guidance/advice is available through coaches and some alumni that have made their way through this program.A few things to be keenly aware of:*This program doesn't work if you don't. Guidance for nearly every aspect or problem that you could think of is very accessible, but there is no hand holding involved. *Once you commit and start, don't stop. Momentum is everything in this program.*The founders and coaches within this program are rockstars, and they are incredibly candid with any and all direction and feedback. - Nahian JahangirGraduate • Product Management • OnlineMay 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Product Gym Instills Confidence
The Product Gym gave me the motivation I needed to start the process of transitioning into a new product management role. I learned to push away my fear of rejection and approach the interview / application process with an analytical lens. The knowledge and confidence I've gained have not only improved my product management skills, but how I value myself as a professional. - Sonia EProduct Management • New York CityApr 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome Expereince
ProductGym is REALLY WORKS!! I had ZERO experience coming from Accounting background. Joining PG has been the best decision I made since I decided to change my career and move into product management. It has been less than 3 months since I started and I have an offer from a company I love. Consistency is the key! PG curriculum is very well structured and offers great educational content and weekly classes led by industry professionals. - BrentonSenior Product Owner • Graduate • Product Management • OnlineApr 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Trust the process and the results will speak for themselves.
I joined this program to help me position myself in the American market, as I’ve recently moved to Austin, TX from NZ. Rich & Cody have pulled together some fantastic content and built a product community of like minded people in varying stages of their careers - there is something of value in here for everyone. Trust the process and the results will speak for themselves. - ViratProduct Manager • Student • Product Management • OnlineMar 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Trust the process
I would recommend Product Gym to anyone who wants to transition into PM roles or look for new opportunities. Their process helped me apply confidently and land a job offer. They have great feedback mechanisms and an awesome community that helps you improve your interviewing skills as long as you put in the effort.
