To follow the roots of nature in everything we do - we run, jump, crawl, climb, roll and react like on the playground as children.
At Monkey Bar Gymnasium Staten Island we follow the roots of nature in everything we do - we run, jump, crawl, climb, roll and react like on the playground as children. With a unique type of exercise that engages the entire body and mind we build useable skills along with lasting confidence. Members are empowered to progress in a challenging, non-discriminating environment.
Thank you for the video from todays training session! The boys did a great job, keep up the Hard Work!
Introduced the power wheel crawl to the young Lions. Challenged issues who will be the first to PW Crawl 100 yards!

Today was supposed to be the first 5k run/walk for Ryan Psiapia. Ryan is the son of who as you know is a member of our community. We can still honor him by running/walking a 5k whether it be inside or outside. If you can do it snap a photo and tag to show our support for Ryan and his family.

How High Can You Go?
Squat Thrust with a jump at end of movement (no push up). If Squat thrusts aren’t a movement for you then substitute another.
Start at 1, every minute add 1 rep. See how high you can get. Like any good hike it’s always easier in the beginning. As the reps increase and recovery time decreases it’s going to get tougher.
Pictures are from Mt. Rainer when Tommy and I did with a crew from FD (Andrew, Mike, Tommy, Anthony).
