Product Gym (PG) by Elevate is an online technical skills platform offering a 12-week product management (PM) career coaching program and a 15-week QA (SDET) skills training program. PG members get access to fully remote courses, which offer flexible start times, a comprehensive curriculum, and career support to help members secure their target Product or QA job. 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.
Product Gym by Elevate’s QA program is suitable for people of all experience levels. To enroll, book a discovery call with the admissions team. The Product Management program is more selective and accepts only about 10% of applicants. Those interested in the Product Management program should be interested in breaking into PM or securing a better PM role; have a strong work ethic and ability to problem-solve; be able to follow advice from coaches; and be excited to be part of the PG community.
Product Gym by Elevate’s Job Placement Assistance Program for the QA program is provided through PG partners and lasts for about 4 months. In this program, members will receive a weekly live session breakdown, with the added benefit of having all sessions recorded, allowing participants to learn at their own pace. PG’s Product Management program includes placement — members of the program can secure 3-5 offers in as soon as 45 days.
Payment plans are available to Product Gym by Elevate members.

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.- Daniel HoffSenior Product Manager • Graduate • San FranciscoMay 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I wish I had found Product Gym at the start of my product career!
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....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.

Most importantly, they helped me find the confidence and momentum to be the applicant I believed I could be. - AditiSupport Engineer • Graduate • OnlineMay 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Product Gym was very helpful
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 - SwethaStudentMay 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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. :) - JeremyProduct Manager • GraduateMay 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great career dev course focused on personal branding and interviewing
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. - SwetaGraduateMay 05, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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. - C PrinsGraduate • Product Management • New York CityApr 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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.) - Olga BProduct Solutions Owner • Graduate • Product Management • New York CityMar 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
