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 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.- Ash BProduct Manager • Graduate • Product Management • San FranciscoJul 13, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
PG is invaluable

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! - Raghav GuptaProduct Manager • Graduate • Product Management • OnlineJul 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The resources and materials that you have access to is a tremendous help in preparing for 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 Learning Experience
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.

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! - Prithvi Ravichandra BabuGraduate • Product Management • OnlineJun 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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
