"The best thing you didn't know you needed."

"Forever changed my life."

WHO ATTENDS POWER MONKEY CAMP?

FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS

We are all here to learn from each other. That's what makes Power Monkey Camp so fun! We break down high level movements into easy to understand drills to help you reach goals you never thought possible and keep you healthy in your movement patterns so you are working out for years to come!

COMPETITIVE ATHLETES

We focus on teaching you the importance of training for a standard of MOVEMENT. Why? Because those standards never change, even when competition standards do. Learn the points of performance that will keep you performing at a higher level than those of your competitors who simply aren't paying attention.

COACHES & OWNERS

You'll not only expand your personal knowledge of movement patterns but also benefit from learning the best cues and drills to help your community of athletes in your classes. Plus, you have the added advantage of networking with other coaches and owners to exchange ideas and best practices throughout the weekend!

CAMP COURSES

If you have an interest in learning, you belong at Camp.

Below are the 10, two hour stations you'll rotate through during the week.

WEIGHTLIFTING MOBILITY

Simply put: the goal of this station is to make sure your squat is flexible, comfortable, and strong. Evolving from years of practical application and shared professional discussion, you'll learn:

  • Key training principles
  • Movement strategies
  • Drill work, front rack
  • T-Spine positioning
  • Progressions to strengthen your movement and coaching journey
