Right after getting engaged (!!!), my TikTok For You Page became a flood of “Bridal Glow Up” content—from beauty treatments to workout routines. I kept seeing Gabby George’s Bridal Arms Program, a 14-day series of workouts the fitness instructor created to prepare for her own wedding. After watching dozens of brides share before-and-afters, I decided to give it a try. I started with the fitness instructor’s free TikTok videos and liked them so much that I’m now a proud GGStudio member. Now that I’ve done the Gabby George Bridal Arms Program for a month and a half, I wanted to share my experience.
What Is the Gabby George Bridal Arms Program?
The Bridal Arms Program is a 14-day series of short, high-repetition upper-body workouts designed to strengthen your arms, shoulders, and back while improving posture. I’m here to say on the record: It works.
The workouts range from roughly 6-12 minutes and use a combination of light 2-3 pound hand weights and optional wrist weights. If you don’t have small weights, Gabby emphasizes that you can use other props like cans or even just your body weight. The latest iteration of the program uses the same weights plus heavier weights up to 10 pounds and a band.
Gabby George Bridal Arms 2.0 vs. 3.0
Gabby has three versions of her viral Bridal Arms workout and has improved the program with each iteration. Bridal Arms 1.0 and 2.0 are only on TikTok. Her new-and-improved version is exclusively on the GGStudio app. I skipped the first version and started with 2.0. After doing two rounds of 2.0, I was hooked and knew I wanted to try Bridal Arms 3.0 and the other GGStudio classes. The main differences are that some classes are longer, there are standing and kneeling workouts, and some incorporate heavier weights.
I prefer Bridal Arms 3.0 because it is an even harder workout, there is more variety, and it’s a better user experience. I cast the classes on my TV instead of watching the videos on TikTok. It’s also easier to find the classes and keep track of your progress. I went from having a checklist on my phone to having a checkmark by each class I had completed.
My Bridal Arms Results
I feel stronger, more toned, and my posture has improved. The class is called Bridal Arms, but it also targets your back and core which is important for me because I have scoliosis. I’ve noticed that I slouch less when I’m walking or working at my desk. While the classes are short and the weights are small, they make a big impact. I’ve actually seen more results than I did from taking a 30-minute upper-body class once a week for three months.
It has been easy for me to stay consistent with the workouts because they are short. I can always fit in a quick under 12 minute workout. I’ve even done them without changing into workout clothes and on-the-go. I did a few workouts in a hotel room using filled up water bottles because I didn’t have equipment. I look forward to the classes because I’ve seen results and I love Gabby’s teaching style. She’s positive, encouraging, and bubbly. There is enough variety from day to day so I haven’t gotten bored.
To stay motivated, Gabby recommends doing the classes 6-7 days a week and taking a break after each cycle. I take one to two days off.
Is the Bridal Arms Program Worth It?
The Bridal Arms workout has absolutely been worth it for me! Before getting engaged, I trained for half marathons and did the occasional strength class. After saying “yes,” I wanted to get into a regular routine that incorporated both strength and cardio. If you want enjoyable workouts that help you build consistency and strength at home, I think the Bridal Arms Program is a total win.
