Drawing inspiration from playgrounds, Jon Hinds, the designer of Monkey Bar Gym, wanted to create a special kind of exercise experience that provided truly full-body workouts. Combining running, jumping, crawling, climbing, rolling, and reacting, Hinds and the certified trainers at Monkey Bar Gym developed a high-intensity workout routine that doesn't involve screaming training partners or forced reps. As a reporter from Muscle & Fitness noted, “The challenges come in making the exercises as efficient as possible and constantly working to a higher level of skill and movement.” To help guests meet their fitness goals, certified instructors and coaches are on hand for encouragement and support while high-energy music helps motivate everyone to maintain a challenging pace.
