Really fun, Jon’s pretty cool guy. Always love supporting small businesses like his.

Jon is a irrepressibly enthusiastic coach who knows how to hit just the right balance of serious intensity and silly fun. The whole class keeps up a banter through the workouts and the mood is light and supportive. The workouts are filled with movements that seem easy at first, but are designed to work and synchronize your whole body. Floor work, kettlebells, boxing drills, there’s a great variety and the workouts constantly evolve to keep it fresh or match the specific group on that specific day. These aren’t exercises for their own sake, these are exercises to help you be healthier and have more fun in the real world, not just in the gym. He has an excellent eye for muscle and movement imbalance and throws in individualized exercises to target each person’s weaknesses. As a cyclist I have issues with my hips and back and some lateral instability in my knees. Every class includes time addressing these and it makes a real difference.

Kettle bells, hammer weights, mix martial arts(pads provided, but do bring your own), and obstacle course for lats. Come for the cross-fit-ish training stay for the friendship. Beach trips, parkour trips, movie night(every Thursday), spike ball tournaments. Cosplayers seeking to get into character physically are encouraged by the trainer to train here. Ages 23+ recommended.

Jon is an awesome coach, tribe leader, alpha, and friend! I started working out here a few months ago and it has been a great experience. His workouts are creative and focus on so many aspects of fitness like: Boxing, natural movements, using own body weight, stretching, cardio, weights, parkour, running, and so much more. He definitely keeps me on my toes. I especially love the geeky-ness aspect to the gym as well(i.e. Thor’s Hammer and other Marvel related things all over the gym). He just makes it fun to workout rather than it be a task or a burden. Since I have been there he has been able to work on my weaknesses personally(i.e. correcting my deadlift form). Aside from the fitness he also holds events at the gym such as self-massage for pre/post running, random games, and outings outside of the gym. He is has a great vision on making the gym a community of students that ultimately become great friends, which makes it a wonderful atmosphere to workout in. For the few short months I have been here I have improved physically and mentally. I would recommend this gym to anyone!

It has been 2 weeks since I started with HAMF and I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. After finally healing from a back injury for the 3rd time I needed to get back in shape. I had tried several times to start exercising again on my own, but that always resulted in reinjury in my low back. Finally I took up the advice of my chiropractor who referred me to HAMF to work on my core strength. I was still feeling some pain from my last back injury, but contacted Coach Jon and told him about my situation and he told me to come in for a gait and posture analysis. I was very impressed by how much he was able tell me about myself from just my posture and the way I walk. Each class focuses on a different skill set(each day is also named after a superhero for you geeks out there) Mondays flexibility, power, and endurance; Tuesdays coordination and agility; and so on. There are morning classes Monday through Saturday 7:30am to 9:30am and evening classes Monday through Thursday 7pm to 8pm. Unlike most gyms with bulky gym equipment that focuses on building primary muscle groups, Coach Jon sets up his workouts to focus on building strength with flexibility and stability. You’re not just working your primary muscle groups, but the secondary and even tertiary muscle groups. In just two weeks I have become much stronger, much more flexible, infinity more coordinated than I was, and somehow a morning person! And to top it all off I can move freely and jump around without hurting my back anymore! I would recommend HAMF to anyone with the willingness to become healthier. If YOU want it Coach Jon WILL get you there.

Jon is a true professional and a hard worker. I am a regular runner who does marathons and triathlons from time to time. needed a personal trainer to help me work on some muscle imbalances and get me stronger for the season. I liked jons creativity during our sessions and he got me motivated. Highly recommend!

I’ve been working out with Jonathan for over a year, and the difference is fantastic. I’ve lost 15 pounds, dropped a size, gained a bunch of muscle and I feel great. Jonathan does a great job of putting together challenging workouts, but adjusting them to your needs and fitness level. I’m so glad I took a chance on him and myself. If you’re looking to improve your fitness level, you should give him a call.

My exercise time with coach Jon of Hyper-Active Monkey Fitness has been the best in my life so far. We workout on so many different things(from running to weights, to general fitness, to martial arts and boxing, to archery and yoga!), that it never gets old, or tiring. I’m looking forward for these workouts daily now, and consider that before that, I was a major couch potato for many years!

One of the key factors of being a successful coach/trainer, IMO, is the ability to connect with the clients/trainees and understand what they are looking for and goals that they want to achieve. Coach Jon is approachable and personable, and his willingness to help others allow him to connect very well with his clients. He is very friendly and encouraging but also stern and tough when the time calls for it. He is experienced and very knowledgable with personal training and boxing. Also, the way he conducts his group classes makes it fun and enjoyable while everyone is getting a kick-ass workout! I’ve met and worked with many many trainers in the past and Coach Jon is certainly one of the bests out there! I also see him participating fun runs outside of gym with his clients AND he also designs exercises for a sport(badminton) publication that is distributed across the nation! Highly recommended!
