Product Gym

I've used the PG materials and member portal a second time this year during my current job search, when I'm up leveling my PM role to more senior roles. I've found the interview prep and offer negotiation materials just as useful as the first time around,... Read More and I was pleasantly surprised to see how much "muscle memory" I had from going through the program about year ago. The method works and I highly recommend it. Pros: Clear, actionable advice for every step of the interview and offer process. Very responsive team.

Highly recommended, this is the real deal! In Product Gym they say, “this is a gym and not a spa”, it’s not going to be easy but anything worth getting takes work. You get what you put into it. The resources/knowledge available are outstanding, above... Read More and beyond what you could find any where else. You need to put in the time, the effort and be consistent through out the whole process (very much like the gym). The results will come, and it will pay dividends! I only wish I had done this sooner. The community is amazing and supportive, great coaches and knowledgeable instructors.

The PG process helped me to stand out amongst other candidates from R1 to final round interviews. What I love is the community of product people that you get to meet and form great connections with! Some of whom I still keep in contact with months after... Read More the process!

I've been blown away by the rigor I have learned to develop while in PG and the system they have set up to make sure I get a fair chance at the job I want. Kudos to Cody, Rich and the team of coaches in teaching us the right mindset and skills to crack... Read More a PM job. When I looked at my work history, I knew I had significant PM work but it was with PG that it came to light. Without PG, I don't think I would have been able to secure so many interviews and rounds and part of the reason is that they understand the hiring cycle really well. I want to also thank the community that was built in making this a collaborative, friendly space for us to share lessons learned and help each other as we searched for the right opportunity. I would 100% recommend PG to anyone wanting to break into Product roles and let them know the process works! The right review is the one that also helps the business improve so here are my two cents as a member of PG on things they can improve on: 1. Circle and Jira are not good. The whole point with PG was that the fees more than make up for the time I would lose in salary terms if I did this alone. Time is money here. If I'm waiting for a day or two because notifications on Circle are poor, that defeats this. Same with Jira emails. I'd rather have an annoying Slack or Discord pinging me all day with notifications of something I need quick help on. 2. The whole non-target city doesn't work post COVID and PG needs to work on this. It's more non-target companies (that may be in your own city) versus ones you want to work in that offer remote. Many companies I applied that said 'NYC' later said we offer remote so it ruined the staggering of offers for me because they became very attractive companies and this is sometimes realized in later interviews. 3. There should be some kind of Zoom allowance or the platform they use should have event management features since many of us members get together to practice and PG would benefit by adding structure to this and bringing it in-house.

My desire to be a PM started in early '00s, while I was in QA Testing, trying to determine who owns a Product for an enhancement? It was then I setout a path to find my way into Product in my existing company, but I could never get my foot through the... Read More door. It wasn't until I left said company that it became apparent and in toward the end of 2021, it was becoming a reality -- that's when ProductGym showed itself and it has been a heaven-sent!

Pros: - PG does a great job at hosting different classes on various topics like Product Marketing and UX - The classes help connect how PMs interact with other cross-functional partners and also detail the entire interview process - The coaches give great... Read More resume feedback and job search tips that help you get a ton of interviews as long as you put in the effort to apply to a high volume every day Cons: - Due to the program's growth, sometimes it seems like there's very limited support that you can get from the coaches - If you are coming from another field like sales, marketing, project management, or consulting, it can be very challenging to connect your current/previous work experience to Product Management - No mentorship 1:1's Overall, the program is great for anyone who already has product experience. However, it's very difficult to navigate a career transition through PG alone.

Product Gym completely accelerated my transition into product management. Their expertise, coaching, classes, forums, and community help me land my PM role. It is a gym, not a spa. You definitely get out what you put in, but they are guiding you every... Read More step of the way. They do a good balance of teaching concepts and interview coaching.
