Jon & Jessica Hinds
Jessica and I have a HUGE amount of experience and knowledge to help YOU!
Starting as a Strength Coach at 16, then the NBA at 25, then I founded Monkey Bar Gym (MBG) in January 2000 as the first 100% functional training gym in the country.
This was a very daring step to take as all gyms at this time used machines for fitness…not the body! I argued that true health is based on the pure intuitive movements of running, jumping, crawling, climbing, reacting and rolling mixed with natural whole body alignment training and plant-strong nutrition.
Before opening my own gym, I already had over 30 years training others at the highest level.
