Meet Jon & Jess, Owners of MBG

Jon Hinds 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! Jon 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 his own gym, Jon already had over 30 years training others at the highest level.

• NBA and NFL Strength Coach�Tony Gonzalez, Wesley Matthews, Howie Long, Jimmy Butler, Kron Gracie (World Champion Brazilian Jiu-jitsu), Antoni Hardonk (UFC Top 5 Ranked Fighter), and over 50 more.

• Celebrity Personal Trainer�Tony Robbins (Fitness Advisor and Part of his Life Mastery Course), Woody Harrelson, Steve Guttenberg, and more.

• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Luiz Claudio Augusto (since 1994)�Gold medal winner at the Pan American games in 2000�Gold medal winner at Rickson Gracie International BJJ World Championships in 2001.

• Creator of over 30 patented pieces of Sports Specific exercise equipment

“I saw a need to give people a place that was really fun to workout at. A place that did movements that are innate in all of us, 110% functional, and done in a group setting where camaraderie, challenge, and encouragement are as normal as breathing. The way we train at MBG builds individual strength & confidence, and also community strength & confidence.” — Jon Hinds, Founder

Meet Jessica:

Jessica Hinds joined Jonny and the Monkey Bar Gym in 2001 and hasn't looked back since. Jessica didn't start out as a fitness enthusiast, in fact she worked as a legal secretary and paralegal before transitioning into fitness full-time. In the past 18 years she has grown exponentially in the field of alignment training and yoga.

• Nuero-Muscular Therapist� Currently works as a massage therapist and nueromuscular therapist. She helps people recover and avoid issues like plantaar fasciitis, rotator cuff issues, lower back pain and reducing scar tissue.�

• Alignment Expert and Yoga Therapist� With the help of her husband and countless others, she has been able to dive deep into alignment training. She focuses on making sure her clients understand their anatomy, and training them to comprehend reciprocal inhibition to promote all around healing. She helps her client become more self-aware and encourages they take responsibility for healing their own aches and pains.

• Reflexologist� Through her mentor, Morris Hartman, Jessica practices the art of using specific pressure points mostly on the feet to bring balance to the body by increasing circulation, relaxing muscle tissue and stimulating glands.

"It's important to me that my students and clients do not rely on me to fix their health issues but that they realize they are the master of their own health whether it's good or bad, they have the control. I'm here to help guide them but my goal is to make sure they they have a clear understanding that their health lays in their hands." — Jessica Hinds
