No one cares about achieving your goals more than you; and no one can do the work for you to get there. You have to own that. It doesn't matter what industry or what dream you wake up with every morning, you better be the first one in and the last to leave if you want to earn victory. Power Monkey Fitness Co-Owner and Former USA Gymnastics Team Member Dave Durante believes the key the podium starts with work ethic and saying yes to challenge. Dave joined Fran Racioppi and Jessie Graff from the US Army Fitness Truck at 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games for a conversation on his rise through the gymnastics world, battling to make the US Olympic Team and transitioning from elite athlete to coach and business owner. Dave's philosophy on progress is grounded in progressions; the ability to push forward but take it back to the basics to reinforce our foundations then get back after it. Dave takes us behind the scenes of US Gymnastics, sharing his personal journey of wins, losses and becoming the ultimate teammate on his bid to compete in the 2008 Olympics. Dave also shares the impact of Power Monkey Fitness, where he touches on the struggles of athletes figuring out the next step in their career and how CrossFit opened an opportunity for him to bring gymnastics to everyone. From elite athlete to elite entrepreneur, Dave's perspective on what it takes to win inside and outside the gym will transform your Monday mindset!

We recently had the pleasure of working with both Emma and Jack at a Power Monkey Course in their home town up in Canada. We already knew that both were incredible athletes, Emma having just been crowned the 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth at the 2023 CrossFit Games as an 18 year old, and Jack having put on a show winning the Olympic Total event, also as a young 21 year other athlete. What we didn't know, and since discovered about them was that they are both quite humble and willing to learn and be coached.  They didn't take an "elite athlete" Power Monkey course, they took the same foundational course that the rest of the gym members did. It is this attitude of always looking for ways to improve oneself, even if it means taking a couple of steps backwards to unlearn old ways and create new better habits that we feel sets the best athletes, and people, apart from the rest. We hope you enjoy this episode, we sure did. We can't wait until our paths cross with both Emma and Jack next.

Rika Geyser has been a part of Power Monkey and our Camps from very early on. Her list of accomplishments is vast within the rowing and fitness world. She is an Olympian, having competed in Beijing in 2008, she is a CrossFit Games Athlete, and after having rowed at the University of Washington, she was named as part of the "All-Century Team" for womens rowing. Aside from Rika's impressive list of competitive accomplishments, what we find some incredible about her is her coaching approach, and her ability to connect with those that she works with. He primary tenet when coaching is to "First, do no harm". This comes after retiring from years of competition and finding herself with a wrecked body. Rika's love for her sport, and for helping others is undeniable. It's no wonder why we always find ourselves smiling more after our time with her.

This wee we are fortunate enough to have Adrian "Boz" Bozman, Director of the CrossFit Games on the podcast. Boz is fresh off programming his first Games ever. If you are only familiar with Boz as the Games head judge, then you are about to learn that he is an incredibly articulate, intelligent, and kind human, who put a lot of intentional thought behind this years Games. We discussed why certain movements were chosen for the 2022 Games, favorite moments for Boz, and lessons learned this year. It became apparent that Boz and Power Monkey have essentially identical philosophies on movement practice, this conversation turned toward how this philosophy impacted his decisions when programming the various events. There are even some nuggets in there about where the programming may go in the future, if you're willing to "read between the lines". We hope you enjoy this episode, we certainly did.

Today we're talking to Dave Durante, a former member of the U.S. National Gymnastics Team and one of the masterminds behind Power Monkey Fitness. Dave talks about discovering CrossFit after a storied gymnastics career, and how he and his partners came to build the annual Power Monkey weekend into what can only be described as fitness summer camp for adults. We also discuss gymnastics elements he’d most like to see in CrossFit competition, and why elite gymnasts might not be as great at freestanding handstands as many people think.

In the mid-season finale episode 50 we are joined by Mike Cerbus who has competed at multiple US Nationals competitions and American Opens, including medalling at 3 Nationals and 5 American Opens (taking the title in 2011) as well as currently being the weightlifting coach at Power Monkey Fitness. There is a reason that his favorite phrase is “technique matters” in this interview and he truly lives and coaches by this. Mike leads us down a path of becoming a more capable lifter by emphasizing the key: repetition until mastery is achieved has to precede moving on to higher weights or more complex movements. But there are many more gems in this episode so hurry and tune in!

There’s normally an enormous disconnect between what someone thinks is happening versus what it actually looks like.” - David Durante In this episode, we talk about: Gaining the ability to move your body at will through the movement as opposed to the movement moving you. Breaking down movements into finer components using the four phases of movement Should prep, wrist, and elbow health   And most importantly I think Dave brings a passionate perspective to gymnastics for CrossFitters. I’m sure you will walk away with a whole new appreciation for the way your body moves.   Show Notes: Background in gymnastics (1:50) Tapping into the CrossFit world (3:33) Origins and evolution of Power Monkey Fitness (5:00) What is the “Ring Thing” aka the Dream Machine?
