We're selectively expanding our coaching team at Monkey Bar Fitness.

We're looking for an established personal trainer who values autonomy, professionalism, and long-term client relationships.

If you're ready to step away from the big-box gym model, take control of your schedule, and earn in alignment with the value you provide, we should talk.

An existing clientele is preferred.

Finally took the new shoes for a run... and hit the pool today!
I'm feeling pretty good with everything so far! Zone 2 training (with the swimming) has payed off so far and the results and effect on overall endurance are very noticeable!!

Thanks to Bushtukah Great Outdoor Gear in orleans for helping me decide which shoes to get. Of course they will make 1 min faster in my 5km.... That's what shoes do! Now to get them on the feet and hit the pavement.

3 weeks to go!

Well .... its time to let the cat out of the bag. Short story here..... I have a client who I've been training on a regular basis and she is a cyclist. Runner, and a swimmer. After a couple years I finally got her convinced to sign up for a triathlon. Well, I decided to sign up as well.

I'll be doing the EarlyBird long triathlon at Carleton U in 4 weeks. It's been 35 years since I've been in the water so I figured let's have some fun!!

Does anyone else know who is racing as well ???

See you in the water!

Welcome back to the benefits of The Squat and Press Day 5!!

#5 is Core Strength and Stability:

During the squat press, your core muscles play a crucial role in maintaining stability and transferring force between your lower and upper body. The movement engages the muscles of your core, including the abdominals, obliques, and lower back, helping to strengthen and stabilize your midsection.
