I know some of you have made a decision to improve your health by changing your eating habits. I just wanted to maybe offer some motivation to you. It is very fitting that MBG S.I.N.Y. is located under the Codella Ju Jitsu Academy. The academy teaches people to defend themselves. It also has fighters who test their skill in competition. A principle of MBG is to harness the inner warrior in all of us.
Many times in life our biggest battles do not require us to lift our hands. These battles can have a profound impact on our future health and happiness.Changing our diet for many can be one of these battles. Big results require big ambition. Just remember to find the positive in what you are doing. If you stumble or fall, get back up. Stay committed to your decision to change. Food is addicting. Changing your diet requires you to break this addiction. It will challenge you mentally and emotionally. Do not give up! Anything in life that is worth something requires you to earn it. I want you to succeed and will help you in any way I can. Stay focus on the positive actions you are taking and do not let any setbacks be permanent. Believe in yourself!
The intention of this Blog is to spread information around to members training with Monkey Bar Gymnasium, S.I.N.Y. Whether it is a upcoming group trail run/hike, thoughts about a recent workout, related member news or any topic related to the pursuit of a healthier self we can post and discuss it here.

Nutrition Seminar A Huge Success
Monkey Bar Gymnasium S.I.N.Y. Hosted it's first MBG seminar. We celebrated the opening of my new facility with a seminar hosted by Jon Hinds and Jessica Rucker. The topic of the seminar was "Lean and Green Warriors". It discussed the benefits of consuming a whole food, plant based diet. I picked this topic because the information provided can be beneficial to anyone. As a result we had people from all walks of life in attendance. Jon and Jessie provided very informative and useful information. It would be impossible to walk away from the seminar without considering some dietary changes to ones diet.
This past month and a half was a very busy one for me. Mike Codella, owner of the Codella Ju Jitsu Academy, offered me a space in his new facility. I had to jump on it. The space was rough around the edges and needed a lot of work. I spent all of my free time transforming the space in to my vision of a Monkey Bar Gymnasium. My cousin, Robert, provided me with numerous ideas on layout and design. I was lucky to have the help from other friends to take care of skilled aspects of the construction. The hard work paid off. Forty six people were in attendance for the seminar.
Starting November 1st, I will be expanding my hours. In an effort to bring MBG's training philosophy to many people on Staten Island. My goal is simply to improve the life's of my clients. I intend to do this by making them stronger and healthier through diet and exercise. Turn them into "warriors" ready to face any challenge that life has to offer.

Nutrition Seminar/New Facility
Jon Hinds will be back to do a nutrition seminar on whole food, plant based nutrition. This is a way to truly maximize health and performance. Studies across the world have shown that this diet is most beneficial for us to consume. I been talking about this since the start of the summer and we have an opportunity for Jon to explain the benefits to us. I strongly urge you to take advantage of this and take control of your health.
The seminar will be held in the brand new Monkey Bar Gymnasium S.I.N.Y. I have been working very hard, with the help of family and friends, to have the facility ready for the seminar. You are going to like what you see, it will enable me to offer more classes. Come out and learn some helpful information and see the best new training facility on the Island.
