Boot Camp

Boot Camp sounds hard-edged, but it is a lot of fun! You’ll work with a wide variety of equipment and techniques designed to challenge cardiovascular endurance, agility, and balance. Boot Camp can include anything from jumping rope to throwing medicine balls, from running in place to animal based crawling and jumping movements.

Boot Camp use a unique technique - HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

High Intensity Interval Training is high intensity, not high impact. High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT is exactly what it sounds like; it’s a cardiovascular workout with short intense intervals aimed at improving physical fitness. The idea behind High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT, is this: work really hard for a few seconds, and then take a short break. It’s simple! Training using High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT, definitely beats running on a treadmill for 60 minutes, and is much a better way to achieve true physical fitness. With High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT you get a far better workout in a fraction of the time. It burns fat faster, results in great physical fitness and we promise you won’t be bored. High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT is the best way to physical fitness!

Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise Journal - found that when using High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT, the total amount of calories you burn is elevated 142% more than low intensity aerobics. This means a faster path towards physical fitness!

Metabolism Journal - found that High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT programs burn fat for up to 48 hours after exercising. One workout will burn fat for up to two days! Less fat means increased physical fitness!

MBG Intensive in AUSTRALIA! February 03, 2011 - February 08, 2011

"The increase in my muscle definition has also been surprising and has not gone unnoticed by my friends and co-workers. I feel lighter, leaner and more fit than I have at any other point in my life. And it’s only been three months!" - Jacque Reese

"MBG has given me not just my life back, but the inert desire to try harder, faster, and feel like an animal…fit to my environment." - William (Double Day) del Moral

"I learned so much in such a short amount of time. Being at the MBG has reignited a fire under my butt to train even harder" - Chris Atkins

"In the two years I’ve been at MBG I am leaner, stronger, with better blood flow and breathing than ever in my life. These things help me to be a better cyclist." - Jennifer Munger

Monkey Bar Gym Experience: "Your spine is the healthiest I have ever seen in anyone except for a yoga teacher I treat." Consuelo Sanudo "The Monkey Bar is unique. For every exercise there is somewhere to start for the complete beginner and somewhere to go for even advanced athletes. There is a refreshing variety in the types and intensity of exercises, but they are designed for optimal results. The classes are motivating without being competitive. Instruction is consistently excellent. Class participants frequently partner with someone: getting motivation , encouragement, and constructive coaching on form. The approach is well designed and well integrated. In the end, you get out of it what you put into it. Believe me, you will work harder in these classes than you ever would on your own. The results are worth it. I’ve been coming to the MGJ 3-5 days/week since 2003 and the core group of, let’s say, “more experienced people”, hardly misses a day. Why? Besides the fact that starting over is hell, we are old enough to know high quality and value it, and wise enough to realize that in the end you are only the sum of your good habits. Going to the MBG is really a lot of good habits: exercise, diet, discipline, helping others, making new friends. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. And that’s the kind of leverage you need if you’re trying to turn back the clock." Jeff Ford "When I started the workouts in late Jan, I had recently gone to have myself checked out to see what was causing my lower back pains. "Doc", after checking me out, told me my hips wee misaligned. I asked him what I could do to fix it myself. He said it'll take a long time to fix, but stretching is a start. About a week later, a friend, who is a professional golfer, told me about monkey bar gym. He said he had heard nothing but good things about it and that I should try it out. Being a 34 year old former two sport collegiete athlete I hadn't really worked out steady for many years. I was at 226 during the time i started doing the daily workouts. At first I didn't workout everyday, for some reason or another. however, now that 4 months has past, and I'm doing the workouts on average 4-5 times a week, my hips have realigned themselves and the lower back pains have gone away. I went to visit "Doc" again to check the alignment of my hips again. He was amazed. He looked almost confused. He asked what I have been doing? I told him I was stretching and doing a functional workout program. He said whatever it is I've been doing has worked and he's very impressed with the results. I now weigh anywhere from 205-210. My energy throughout the day has increased greatly. I no longer need an energy drink in the middle of the day to get me by. I recommend anyone that is looking for that quick, non-redundant, low risk and high reward workout to look no further. You've found it here at monkey bar gym." Thanks Monkey Bar Gym Rusty Rushing Certified Natural Training Courses: Thanks for everything the past several days. The intensive course was an excellent learning experience for me. I am amazed at the comprehensive system you have developed for optimal health and vitality…its like six sigma for health, it gets to the root cause…this system should be taught in our schools and universities in this country because it contains the foundation for optimal physical well being. Understanding this foundation is the key to sustainable health care in this country. Kudos to you…your vision and passion shows in your enthusiasm for what you do and I can see that shine through with the team at MBG! Jeff Simon - CNT level 2 (April 2010 Intensive course)
