Episode #52 Today, we're delving deep into Jon's life's adventure, from starting as a passionate 16-year-old strength coach to founding the groundbreaking Monkey Bar Gym, where functional fitness reigns supreme.

Picture this: a young, eager strength coach at 16, driven by a fascination with unlocking the body's potential. But that's just the beginning. By the age of 25, he was already working with NBA legends, crafting tailored strength training programs for talents like Tony Gonzalez, Penny Hardaway, Shawn Kemp, and more. Little did he know that these experiences were paving the way for something even more audacious.

Fast forward to January 2000, a pivotal moment that marked the birth of Monkey Bar Gym – the first 100% functional training gym in the nation. In a world dominated by clunky exercise machines, he took a bold stance. He firmly believed that genuine health isn't found in artificial movements, but in the intuitive actions we're born with – the kind that involves running, jumping, crawling, and climbing. And so, Monkey Bar Gym was born, challenging conventions and inspiring a new way of thinking about fitness.

But his journey isn't just about gyms and workouts. I'm also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, with gold medals from the Pan American Games and the BJJ World Championships in 2001. This martial arts journey shaped his perspective on training and wellness in ways I never could have imagined.

What's more, his creativity led me to invent over 30 patented pieces of sports-specific exercise equipment. Each piece is a testament to my dedication to pushing boundaries and embracing innovative ways to move our bodies.

So, as you join us in this episode, get ready to hear about his experiences, the incredible athletes he’s had the honor to work with, the significance of building a tight-knit fitness community, the stories behind my patented equipment, and how Monkey Bar Gym has evolved into a movement of its own.

If you're someone who's curious about breaking free from the norm and embracing a holistic approach to fitness and well-being, you're in for a treat. This episode is all about inspiration, challenging conventions, and motivating you to explore new horizons.
