About Us
Our mobile facility visits schools and day cares promoting physical fitness in a non-competitive, fun learning environment while teaching the foundations of strength, balance, flexibility and coordination.
Each class is facilitated by a certified Monkey Movers coach in a structured format that incorporates social and classroom rules and are enhanced by age appropriate music. Skills are taught through a step by step progression starting with the easiest to the more advanced skill. Activities change weekly, but always include a warm-up, circuit (similar to an obstacle course) and end with a game or activity.
​
We are committed to assisting in the development of good character traits and life skills such as patience, self-control, and co-operation. We encourage kids to celebrate each others success and support one another in their efforts to conquer challenges.
​
Our service is convenient for busy parents while serving as an enrichment program to daycares and schools.

Monkey Movers was created.

Where does the bus park?
The GYM BUS parks on the street, driveway or parking lot. There must be 3 parking spots saved when we arrive and we must not be blocked in by other cars. There also must be a large enough double wide long driveway if not parked on the road or in a parking lot. The driver will assess upon arrival and has the final say if it is safe to park. Obstacles like bushes, trees, and fences may be a deciding factor. We usually park along the sidewalk in front of your house (school, church, park, etc). Party hosts typically reserve space for the bus by 1) parking their own cars in that space or 2) marking off the area with cones, chairs, large plastic toys, etc. We need approximately 50 feet of somewhat level space to park.
-
Are adults allowed on the bus?
We have an open-door policy and welcome all guests and spectators to view the activities in our designated viewing area. This area is limited in space and can accommodate up to 5 non participating guest.
