frequently asked questions

what is "movement training?"

Training for movement is about maximizing joint health and mobility so you can enjoy your favorite activities without pain again.This is a far different goal than simply "losing weight" or "feeling better."

This is about becoming a student of your own body.

How doesvirtual jointREpaiRwork?

If you've got some space, a webcam, and the desire to move better, you're ready to TRANSFORM YOUR JOINTS.

Any successful transformation requires three things:

1. Planning
2. Tools
3. Accountability

At MonkeyDo, we build your PLAN around the movements you want most and the obstacles holding you back. From there we perform live testing to figure out a starting point.

Then we create your TOOLS:

*Fully-individualized curriculum - No cookie-cutter programs here. MonkeyDo programs are built and refined in real time over 12 weeks. By the end, you'll have a solution tailored to your unique situation that will continue paying dividends for the rest of your life.
‍
*Custom Video Library - Your curriculum is backed up with a private playlist of video tutorials based on your curriculum, which you'll have sole access to after the program ends.

This is all backed up with multiple layers of ACCOUNTABILITY:

*Weekly Testing/Practice - We'll meet every week to check progress, make updates, and practice your assigned movements.
‍
*Data Tracking - It's not enough to do the work. We have to KNOW it's working. Pain, Range of Motion, Balance, & Strength: these can all be measured and targeted for change. Hit the numbers, and watch your joints get stronger...FAST.

*Live Group Coaching - Weekly Q&A and guided mobility classes with other program members give you a community of like-minded individuals to help you stay motivated, supported, and growing. Learn TOGETHER to learn FASTER.

By the end of it all (3-6 months) you'll emerge with LESS PAIN, MORE MOVEMENT, and the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS to continue your joint repair journey independently.

isn't this just "mobility?"

Sort of.

Mobility is a broad term for training strength and flexibility simultaneously.

MonkeyDo takes this a step further and asks you to become proficient in training for connective tissue hypertrophy.

‍This is kind of like bodybuilding, but for joints.

So not only will you become stronger and more flexible, but over time your tendons, ligaments, and cartilage will also become thicker and more durable, resulting in LESS PAIN and MORE MOVEMENT.

This is beyond mobility.

This is turning back the clock.

will monkeydo help me build muscle?

We're more concerned with tendon gains than muscle gains at MonkeyDo.

However, if building muscle is a main goal of yours, you still need strong joints. In fact, the bigger your muscles get, the stronger your joints need to be.

That's not our opinion. That's physiology.

This makes MonkeyDo an excellent foundation to support a muscular hypertrophy-based training program, especially if you're already dealing with injuries.

Getting bigger muscles won't end your joint pain. This will.

can't i just stretch to keep my joints healthy?

Unfortunately, no.

Joints (and the ligaments and tendons attached to them) require regular stress, pressure, and fatigue to get stronger, just like muscles do. Stretching alone, especially static or relaxed stretching, doesn't pump enough blood and synovial fluid directly into the tendons and joint capsules, which is what prompts them to adapt, repair, and grow.

Stretching must be combined with strength training to achieve such an outcome.

can monkeydo help me lose weight?

Indirectly, yes.

Weight loss is a function of your total day-to-day lifestyle choices. Diet, sleep, stress, and water all play major roles.

‍Exercise alone will not do it.

However, having functional, pain-free joints that make you want to move is the best motivation anyone needs to develop the habits - like daily activity and eating lean foods - that lead to sustainable weight loss.

can i train for a specific sport with monkeydo?

Yes!

Coach Seanobi is highly adept at analyzing movement patterns from any activity and identifying individual weaknesses - especially from previous injury - that can be improved with joint repair training.

He's worked with a full spectrum of athletes, from 70+ ultramarathoners to teenage parkour professionals, and everything in-between, giving them the tools they need to repair their bodies in the off-season and stay healthy during competition season.

i'm over 60 years old. is monkeydo safe for me?

Absolutely!

By using only bodyweight (no weightlifting) and focusing on joint health, MonkeyDo programs are explicitly designed to build a functional, durable body at any age.

Check out our testimonials page, filled with success stories from clients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond!

This was MADE for you.

MonkeyDo was created by an "old, broken, athlete" for the express purpose of getting active people with joint issues back to powerful, pain-free movement again.

Joint damage is far more reversible than we've been led to believe. Recent breakthroughs in exercise science have upended much of what we know about "worn out joints" targeted for surgery/replacement/etc.

Often times, if certain conditions (osteoarthritis, et. al.) are addressed early enough, simply making the right adjustments to your training can work miracles.

The same is true for those who have already been through surgery/replacement, had physical therapy, yet still face limitation and pain.
‍
There is FAR MORE strength and ability waiting to be unlocked than you might dare to think.

And once you understand THE METHOD behind joint repair, that process can even be, well, simple.

Not easy. But simple.
