PETE ELLENBECKER (Challenge, 2010)

Okay, so here is the skinny. After some prodding and a few bitch sessions with a friend who is a member, I checked out the website for the Monkey Bar. I read numerous stories of how this place has changed lives, bodies and what have you. After a couple of memberships at various places in Madison, all I came out with was a few phone numbers, a stunning "bosc" shape, and a shrinking bank account. This left me very skeptical on any place to workout at, as well as giving me a good excuse not to do much physical activity. I did however want to get back into shape and be able to take my shirt off near a body of water without being pushed back in for fear I would dry out. So, I signed up for the 60 Day Challenge and the rest is history. Right away I could tell that this place was different. No mirrors for all the "posers" at previous places to flex in, no "lycra queens" prancing over to the treadmill to walk for 3 hours! The instructors were right in there with you, doing demonstrations, checking your form, and giving you encouragement. Within a week I could tell a difference in my energy, as well as my attitude! After a couple weeks my friends made comments on the changes they were seeing and started asking me if I had a tape worm or something. This motivated me to work even harder. I started training one on one with Joe, one of the MBG trainers. Even though he was kicking my donkey, I still came back for more! My body was getting leaner and I was loving it! The challenge came to an end and though I did not win, as was my goal, I came out ahead. My strength has come back to a level that exceeded my expectations and continues to grow. And the "fat suit" that I have been wearing for years is disappearing. I am now a regular fixture at MBG, and will continue to do so for a long time! Hope y'all like my little story!

"The Monkey Bar is unique. For every exercise there is somewhere to start for the complete beginner and somewhere to go for even advanced athletes.The classes are motivating without being competitive.In the end, you get out of it what you put into it. Believe me, you will work harder in these classes than you ever would on your own. The results are worth it." - Jeff Ford

The workouts at the Monkey Bar Gymnasium are fun, diverse and challenging as opposed to the monotony of a regular gym. The personal attention was important and a real plus. I had never experienced this before. When I was only 3 weeks into the challenge my friends were noticing the changes in my body. I also noticed that I was improving my strength and stamina. I now have leaner, longer muscles, quicker reflexes and where I had hoped to lose 5 to 10 pounds, I was delighted to have lost a total of 23 lbs of fat! - Gino Baldarotta

"I really feel like I can do anything" When I signed up for the Monkey Bar Gymnasium Fitness Challenge, my goal was simply to make it through 60 days. I didn't want to expect any major physical changes, because I assumed that I would only disappoint myself. I merely hoped to stick to the program for the duration and establish new healthier habits for myself in the process
