Jon Hinds is the former NBA Strength and Conditioning coach for members of the LA Clippers and NBA players including Anfernee Hardaway (Phoenix Suns), Charles Smith (NY Knicks) and Lucius Harris (New Jersey Nets).   MLB’s Darryl Strawberry (NY Yankees), Eric Davis (St. Louis Cardinals) and Glenn Braggs (St. Louis Cardinals) have also benefited from training with Hinds.  Founder of the cutting-edge Monkey Bar Gym, Jon also keeps a celebrity clientele that has included Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Steve Guttenberg, and motivational speaker Anthony Robbins.  

Jon Hinds ignited a fitness revolution when he opened his first Monkey Bar Gym in 2000. "No mirrors, no machines, and leave your egos at the door", was and is still one of his mantras.  The MBGs (Monkey Bar Gymnasiums) are the only gyms in the nation to integrate what Hinds calls the “MBG3”:

•   Full-body skills training for strength, speed and stamina;
•   Eichens  (active) Yoga for restoration and healing, and
•   Nutritional Guidance towards a plant based diet for overall  health.

The MBG’s mission is to open minds about true physical fitness and function, and to follow the roots of nature in everything it does. “At MBG, we run, we jump, we crawl, we climb, we roll and react like on the playground as children.  With a unique type of exercise that engages the entire body and mind we build useable skills along with lasting confidence.” MBG members are empowered to progress in a challenging, non-discriminating environment.  

His years of personal fitness, plus working as a strength and conditioning trainer to athletes, celebrities and everyday people alike - have taught Jon that  physical fitness is in reach for everyone:   "All people from all levels of training can take our classes / workouts and be properly challenged by them. I have pro athletes and grandmas follow very similar workouts. We train movements, which everyone needs, and then we progress those movements from whatever level you are at to higher levels of performance. So it makes no difference if you’re a grandma or pro athlete who follows our workouts, they both have a place to start and a higher place to shoot for."

What will you learn?
 The goal of the MBG Intensive is to leave this course with the ability to teach the most functional training anywhere! To learn and teach the MONKEY BAR GYM method of training, scaleable progressions and challenging workouts, EISCHENS YOGA and the basics of PLANT BASED nutrition. To formulate optimal training techniques for yourself, your clients and your members.


Who should attend? 
Personal Trainers, Strength Coaches, Yoga Instructors, Physical Therapists that want to defferentitate themselves from traditional fitness methods, to produce high level results and anyone who wants to discover more about how their health and connection to the planet can help them evolve to a higher level and achieve the best existence possible!

“Who cares if you can lift heavy weights if you’re an athlete if you run slow and jump low.” – Jon Hinds
