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 is a very valuable program. It is total value for money, though the initial investment may seem high but landing job offers with much higher salaries helps achieve a high ROI. It offers one thing that other places miss - a focus on mindset to get through the tough journey of learning new skills and landing lucrative jobs. Along with the great coursework, awesome community, and super helpful staff, Product Gym made me feel fully equipped to start interviewing. With their approach, I was doing 6-7 interviews per week and landed an offer and more final rounds set up. I feel very grateful for all the direction and support.

Product Manager
Product Gym offers one thing that other places miss - a focus on mindset. Prior to joining Product Gym, I had been apologizing for my “lack of direct product experience” and hoping hiring managers would “take a risk on me”. After joining Product Gym, I began to understand that no one needed to take a risk on me because I already had the skills and tools I needed to a great product manager - I just needed to recognize that before others could.

After joining Product Gym, I began to understand that no one needed to take a risk on me because I already had the skills and tools I needed to a great product manager - I just needed to recognize that before others could.
This shift entirely changed the way I approached my resume, my interviews, and my overall attitude to the job search process. Along with the great coursework, awesome community, and super helpful staff, Product Gym made me feel fully equipped to land my first official Product Manager role at an awesome company, making more money than I ever thought I would! - Kristy TanJun 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
If you're not sure, just do it!
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.

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. 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!

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.
