Gymnastics & Olympic Weightlifting Camp in Crossville, Tennessee

Power Monkey Camp runs out of a dedicated training facility in Crossville, Tennessee, and is built around the disciplines the Power Monkey coaching team is known for: gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, rings, handstands, kettlebell, rowing and jump rope. Sessions are led by world-class coaches in each discipline, and groups are kept small enough that you get individual corrections throughout the day, not just a demo and a countdown.

The camp is scaled to your level. Beginners get progressions and drills for the fundamentals — handstand holds, hollow body positions, clean and jerk technique, basic ring support. More experienced athletes get pushed toward advanced skills and heavier loads. Coaches assess where you are on day one and group accordingly, so you're not stuck in a session that's too easy or too far ahead of you.

A typical day includes a morning session (often gymnastics or handstand skill work while you're fresh), a mid-morning strength block (Olympic weightlifting, kettlebell or rowing), lunch, an afternoon session (rings, bar work, jump rope or a second strength slot), and optional open gym or mobility in the evening. Coaches also run technique breakdowns and video review, so you leave with specific things to keep working on.

What separates this from a normal training week at home is the coaching density. You're in a room with specialists in each discipline — the programmers and coaches behind the Power Monkey training method — and the camp format means you can ask questions, get hands-on spotting and cueing, and repeat a skill enough times in one week to actually change it. The roster of coaches rotates through the groups, so you'll work with multiple specialists across the week rather than one instructor for everything.

Crossville sits in eastern Tennessee, roughly two hours from Nashville and about an hour from Knoxville, on the Cumberland Plateau. The facility is purpose-built for this kind of training, with the equipment needed for gymnastics, weightlifting, rings and rowing under one roof. Accommodation and meals are part of the camp package, and the schedule is structured so you're training, eating and recovering on site without needing to arrange logistics yourself.
