After I attended one of their workshops in New York, I was convinced that Product Gym is, in fact, the real deal and took their course without any hesitation.

If you are looking for a career change into Product management, HANDS DOWN Product Gym is the way to go.

Read More is a Product Manager in New York and asked him for advice and advised me that Product Gym put him in the right direction. Wanting a career change, At the time, I lived in Los Angeles and took their course remotely, and was blown away. Highly resourced and informative. They helped me fill all the empty gaps I had in regards to being a Product Manager plus more. They helped me tackle the interview process, having a variety of responses on how to answer specific questions, and even helped me build rapport with the interviewer. Product Gym surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend this course if you are looking to become a Product management. And I hear they are planning on expanding to Los Angeles in the near future!

Pros - More than 1 instructor; Very flexible; Remote Access
Cons - Audio on remote access can improve a bit, but they are definitely aware of this issue

I took this course earlier this year with little experience in Product management and had a difficult time getting my foot into the field prior to taking the course. Thanks to Product Gym, I was able to build the backbone I desperately needed and also... Read More even helped me tackle job interviews and how to maneuver through the process. I finally found the job I wanted thanks to Product Gym and if not for this course, I would not know how my career would have turned out.

I heard about Product Gym from a friend that went through this program in their NY campus, and he was able to find his dream job after going through the course, When I found out that they were expanding to Los Angeles, I had to jump onto this opportunity... Read More and surely, it did not disappoint.

It was fairly intensive, but the mentors are always on your side, assisting you every step of the way. They helped me reassure myself, fortified my confidence, and taught me the skills I need to solidify the job I was looking for.

Highly recommend taking this course if you aspire to become a Product Manager.

Pros:
You can participate in their workshops in New York remotely; which I loved.

Cons:
Quality can improve, but improvements have been made. I talked to them about their video and audio quality and they immediately purchased a new camera, mic, and fix their wifi situation. Sometimes things can get tough learning from afar, but Rich and Cody are always down to help.

This is the second product management bootcamp that I've taken, and it is definitely the better of the two. The entire class came in with at least a baseline knowledge of product management due to really a thorough prerequisite package they provide and... Read More ask you to finish before starting. From day one they put you and everyone on the spot, so everyone knows where they are in the job application process compared to the class and where you can and should be. This is actually genius and I attribute this to landing my PM job (career switch from finance) that I start next week. I also really liked that they had speakers come in almost every week that specialized in different areas to teach the class. One of my favorite classes was when they had an amazingly smart data scientist from Stanford come in and explain everything he thought a product manager would need to know to be able to interact with a data science team. I definitely recommend this bootcamp for aspiring product managers!

Not even kidding! My callbacks before attending Product Gym courses were on average 1 in every 10-15 places I’d apply to. Looking back since I finished the courses, I barely knew what I was doing in these interviews. My interviews are so much more engaging... Read More now, I have so much more confidence when I speak to employers. It’s gotten to a point where I even heard back from 5 companies the other day! I’m determined to get that PM position soon and want everyone to know that Rich and everyone else that speaks at the Product Gym classes have your best interests in mind and will do nothing less to ensure you know how to get a PM job.

After Product Gym, I’ve been applying for over 2 months to different PM positions. Since then, I’ve had a few 2nd round interviews, even a few 3rd round interviews, and even my first offer last week! The best part is that Product Gym isn’t about just... Read More the 6 weeks of courses and that’s it – everyone affiliated with the company will, I repeat WILL, help you every step along the way. I called up one of the instructors from PG about the update with my first offer and they were beyond thrilled to hear, and told me not to stop that momentum. I’ve never seen a place so committed and so involved with helping you to succeed, worth every penny and minute of time I spent here since Day 1!

I never used to hear back from companies, unless it was them letting me know I didn’t get the position. I was ready to call it quits on becoming a PM and move on, but decided to give Product Gym a try as my deciding factor on whether it was the right... Read More path for me or not. I can safely say that not only was it the right decision, but I feel like my interview skills are night and day compared to how they used to be. I now have total control within my interviews, have heard back from more than half the places I’ve applied to since then! I don’t plan on slowing down, and now am certain I will be a PM soon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

From total lack of confidence to someone who can have the attention of an entire room, the people at Product Gym KNOW exactly what they’re talking about. What I love is that everyone here is so involved in your success and go above and beyond to ensure... Read More you know what you’re doing in order to become a PM. I never once saw myself before being able to go for something like a PM, but now I have newfound ambition and will not settle for anything less. Thank you Rich, and thank you Product Gym for giving me all the help that you did!

Before attending my first Product Gym class, I had only a vague understanding of the field as a whole and not much else beyond that. Not only do I know so much more about being a PM, but I also was provided the tools and knowledge of what it takes to... Read More become a PM and how to make myself an attractive candidate for the role. Only a few weeks out and already have been receiving at least a dozen phone calls/emails back from companies interested, and I don’t see that slowing down until I successfully become a PM!
