Gold Medal Bodies – Floor One
Floor One has been discontinued—sorry you missed it! Click here to find out more about why this program was discontinued. And if you’re looking to build agility and better movement, Vitamin is a good option.
Even though we’re not selling this course anymore, we do have a ton of great FREE resources on building skills.
Real athletes are more that just strong. They move with grace and skill in a dynamic environment – an ability you can’t build in the weight room.
We created a program that provides a solid foundation in athletic skills. You can check it out:

Training should be enjoyable
The list of exercises, and the logically oriented approach were the biggest benefits to me.-It is a sequenced progression. That is why I purchased the Floor One program as I didn’t know how to do it myself (as I did for something simpler… like one).-armed push-up). Looking back, the specific benefit that made the biggest difference was the feeling of confidence that I felt when I read through the manuals Day 1. It’s easy to see the entire path from A to Z.
I will add that I find the writings so fun and funny. Training should be fun. I don’t understand why training products are so boring. GMB Team, great production!
Workouts do not make you an athlete
Modern fitness training can help you reach your athletic potential in the gym.
Real athletes don’t. In any sport, the best athletes spend hours practicing. They work on their jumping mechanics. They practice agility and balance drills. They improve their spatial awareness. They practice fine motor tasks in their sport: shooting, passing, ball handling, etc.
These skills are what separate true athletes from average fitness enthusiasts, and you can clearly see the difference in how they perform.
It’s not just more strength and greater endurance. It’s grace under pressure. It’s the ability to change direction easily. It’s all those improvised moments of physical prowess that separate the truly athletic from the merely fit.
Standing up in a handstand
Of course, you’re not a pro athlete, and training like one isn’t feasible for you. However, you want to incorporate some athleticism into your fitness routine. It’s nice to be strong and fit and look nice, but the real reward comes from applying that to having fun in the real world, which is as unpredictable as any sport.
Fortunately, most of these sports are available.-Specific drills used by athletes can be reduced to a few basic skills that you can practice to improve your own ability.
In Floor One, you’ll learn a fun way to develop real athleticism by practicing four basic categories of movements.
The 4 Basic Classes in Athletic Movement
To build a comprehensive foundation for the kind of dynamic movement that defines true athleticism, we’ve chosen four broad classes of skills for F1. These basic skills can be used in any activity.
Practice a controlled jump movement
1. Controlled Jumps
Jumps are the most fundamental power move. However, few people outside of a handful sports spend much time practicing solid jump mechanics. We’ll tighten your jump technique, teach you to land with control, and increase the complexity by adding 180° and 360° spins while airborne.

2. Hand Balance Skills
Even though most sports don’t require handstands, they’re a great tool for developing shoulder stability and spatial awareness. Floor One Include practice on the crow pose and elbow levers, as well as a freestanding handstand, and developmental exercises to help you get them down.
Effectively balance on one leg
3. Single-Leg Balances
Athletic movements require you to shift your balance from one leg and change direction frequently. We’ll build your static balance skills first with the front and back scales, then take them off the ground with the flying pirouette transition to build dynamic balance that never fails.
Masting a cartwheel motion
4. Basic Tumbling Skills
Tumbling is a great skill to learn how to get from the floor to standing upright and back again. They can also save your neck from a fall. F1 includes cartwheels and front and back somersaults. It also includes basic skills that improve your spatial awareness and comfort when inverted.
Why You Can’t Just Start Practicing Complex Skills
Why not add some jumps or cartwheels to your current routine? Complexity. Complexity is the hallmark of athletic movements.
The brain must process a lot of sensory information to activate all the correct muscles in the right order. It is essential that you start with the basics, and then work your way up.
F1’s movements and combinations are designed to not only train your body but also teach your brain more complex skills.
For example…
Start With a 180° Jump
Demonstrating a basic up-jump
A jump with a halfway-Although twist may seem simple, mastering the technique consistently will give you the foundation for strength and control.
Add a Back Scale
Balance on a back scale
This pose is simple enough, but it requires balance and flexibility. It also requires static body control.
You Get a Pirouette
Doing an aerial pirouette
Everything you gained from the 180° and back scale goes into doing a good pirouette, which builds your higher-Order dynamic control
Which becomes a part of a Flow?
Body movement flow gif
Linking the pirouette with other complex movements in F1’s flow routine trains your body for complete athletic capability.
What if your skill work could also help you become stronger?
When we talk about practicing the skills, Floor OnePeople worry about how to maintain their strength and endurance. In practice, it’s not a problem. It all boils down to learning skills that challenge you.
Building athletic skill
Increase strength and endurance for extended periods (straight).-Straighten your leg-arm)
Develop explosiveness through controlled landings and jumps
For weight support, condition your wrists & ankles through transitional movements
Splitting the handstand
A Systematic Approach to Increasing Complexity
Your balance, spatial awareness, agility, and coordination will all go through the roof
After some practice, strength exercises can be transformed into skill exercises and then back to strength exercises.
After a few weeks, you’ll be moving in ways you never thought possible – finally displaying a bit of that physical mastery that separates real athletes from the casual gym-goer.

Don’t Get Stuck – Programming Designed for Continual Progress without Stalling
Unlike some programs that give you a single workout to repeat forever, GMB recognizes that you’ll require different strategies as your strength and skills develop. That’s why Floor One Includes four program phases that build on each other to help you make steady progress.

Phase 1
Attribute Development
There’s more to learning fun skills than watching some tutorials, so we start F1 by building your strength, balance, and flexibility.

Phase 2
Skill Development
Once you’ve build the basic capabilities, Phase 2 introduces more skill focus and complex movements that will ingrain new motor patterns.
Sidney performing monkey locomotion
Phase 3
Acquisition of Flow
Once you’ve developed the basic level of body control to execute each skill, we begin building combinations that offer even greater challenge and stimulation.
Ryan balances on one leg in a crow stretch
Phase 4
Flow “Mastery”
After several weeks of strength and skill practice, you’ll work to smooth out the transitions and cut down the rest time for more efficient applied movements.

Am 48, overweight, unfit smoker and drinker … and in 3 weeks the incremental changes to my physique and fitness have motivated me more than I have ever felt in 20+ years of “self-taught” (= self)-(inflicted injury) exercise

I could not even begin to do the tripod hold, now … 3 weeks in, I just did the extension (the reason for me writing) and am completely amazed at how much strength and control I now have over my own body.
With a gorgeous 18 month old daughter I am sure I will spend the rest of my life working these plans if only to stay in shape to keep up with her … so thanks again and look forward to spending way too much time with you guys virtually in the future.
Your program appealed to me the most. I live in Singapore, and travel around Asia almost every week. It allows me the freedom to do what I want, at my own pace, in the comfort and safety of my own home. I also love the daily (yes daily) improvements in my ability to do more.
Thank you (do I have to say it already?)

The experience was amazing. I realized that one doesn’t need a gym when one has GMB. _x0001F642_
It’s so shiny, well designed and streamlined. I love the program logs/logs. It makes it easy to track growth and progression.
This year will be a great year for movement. I can feel it!

F1
GMB F1 training has helped my strength.
GMB F1 training has given me strength and more energy.
Each day I have to walk up and down 80 steps to get to work. These steps are up and down at least 6 times per hour. I felt slightly tired but not out of breath when I started doing this. Although I don’t feel like I’m doing cardio to cope with something like this, I noticed a change in my legs after week 3. I felt stronger and more agile, and I was able to reach the top with less effort.
F1 has also helped me improve my balance and ability to complete the tasks. F1 is a great way to train, it’s so much better than lifting heavy weights, which is boring and unfulfilling.
Your program is always a topic of conversation for me. It’s amazing.
