WHO ATTENDS OUR POWER MONKEY COURSES?
FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS
We are all here to learn from each other. That's what makes our Power Monkey Courses so fun! We break down high level movements into easy to understand drills to help you reach goals you never thought possible and keep you healthy in your movement patterns so you are working out for years to come!
ELITE ATHLETES
We focus on teaching you the importance of training for a standard of MOVEMENT.
Why? Because those standards never change, even when competition standards do. Learn the points of performance that will keep you performing at a higher level.
COACHES & OWNERS
Coaches and Gym Owners not only expand their personal knowledge of movement patterns but also benefit from learning the best cues and drills to help your community of athletes in their own spaces. Plus you have the added advantage of networking with other coaches and owners to exchange ideas and best practices throughout the weekend!

The Why
After traveling the world for the past five years, teaching seminars and camps to athletes and owners of all levels, we've learned that what is missing for most people is the critical step of building better movement patterns through more stability and mobility-specific drills.
The drills and exercises in our courses are inspired by what we assign to our athletes. They're also the exercises we use in our training.
Our Power Monkey Courses is a collaboration and accumulation of more than 50 years of sport-specific training adapted to a population that has expressed a need for PROGRESSIVE and VALIDATED movement methods.
