Time tested secrets to rebound from old injuries, aches and pains and return you to the freedoms of movement we enjoyed as kids. You will also learn how to integrate these secrets into the four basics of movement and apply them to full-body exercises.
Since opening his Monkey Bar Gym in January of 2001, Jon has been changing the way people look at health and fitness. Jon learned these methods from a master who has since passed away and now Jon is passing them on to you. These passed down secrets on healing the body and integration into full body exercise has had unequaled success. Now YOU can learn these techniques and exercises to take you and your client’s performance to the next level.

"The CNT event in Madison, WI, was an event that exceeded my expectations. I have been to many fitness conferences, workshops and events, however this training was by far the best ever! This totally assured me that you do not need to be at a gym, lugging dumbbells around, sliding from one piece of equipment to the next to just get fit. You can get fit from home, your laneway, hotel room or park! The options are endless, the progressions taught were excellent, so now I can pretty much work with many clients at once at any level, all in the same class without feeling that I am being stretched as the instructor. This is a great asset to a private studio located in a rural community. The equipment that is optional is very reasonable to purchase and not intimidating to use. I could not have asked for a better addition to my current knowledge and certifications." - Suzanna Debeer, Ontario, Canada
"Learning with Jon Hinds at the Monkey Bar Gym was a transformational fitness experience. After just two days, I felt stronger in my core than I have ever felt in my life. My posture improved noticeably, and the ache in my back disappeared. Functional fitness - training movements, not muscles - is a revolution whose time has come. I will never go back to machines and treadmills again - I am free to get fit like other animals do - as part of my daily life." - Howie Jacobson, North Carolina
