Gymnastics and Weightlifting Camp in Crossville, Tennessee

Power Monkey Camp is the in-person version of what the team teaches through their app and their one- and two-day courses. The difference is you get a full block of days with the coaches instead of a single session, so there's time to work on one skill, come back to it the next day, and actually see progress. The programme covers gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, rings, handstands, kettlebell, rowing and jump rope, and everything is scaled to your level — the coaches' stated method is that you bring the potential and they provide the method.

A typical day centres on training blocks with the Power Monkey coaches. You'll rotate through different disciplines rather than doing the same thing all week, which is part of the appeal: someone who's comfortable on a barbell might spend the week chasing a handstand, and someone who's never touched rings gets a structured way in. Coaching is hands-on and corrective, the same style the team uses on the app and in their courses.

The camp is all-inclusive, which in practice means you're not figuring out meals or accommodation separately — you train, eat and stay in the same place with the same group. That structure is a big part of why people come: it removes the usual distractions and lets you string together several days of quality work.

Crossville, Tennessee, is the base. It's a small city on the Cumberland Plateau, roughly halfway between Nashville and Knoxville, and the setting is rural rather than urban — the kind of place where the schedule can be the main event of the week. Expect to spend your non-training time recovering, eating and hanging out with the other campers.

Compared with a general fitness retreat, this one is more specific: it's for people who want technical coaching in gymnastics and strength movements, taught by a team known for exactly that. If you've used the app or taken a course and want more time with the coaches, this is the format that gives it to you.
