You are busy, and your clients and family demand your time, making it hard to find health and wellness alternatives that fit your busy schedule while trying to provide. Being retired from a successful career doesn't mean you are any less busy. Do you have the flexibility to exercise during the day and are looking for something quick that easily fits into your schedule which is also fun and engaging?

Being busy seems to be part of the work culture nowadays. Tech workers, telecommuting, remote and hybrid work, and those who work from home know this well. Demands on your time can be challenging and lead to long hours sitting in front of a screen and keyboard, even if you are at home.
Many have likely heard the phrase "sitting is the new smoking" having many negative effects on health. Switching to a standing desk is a great option to help. We know you may have little time to squeeze in some activity between meetings or projects.
Are you looking for a new way to help you succeed with your health and wellness and work? Take a break and have some fun in a virtual class with us.

"My family has known Marc Gaudet for many years and fully endorse the training and education you get from being involved with Tough Monkey. We got to know Marc as our self-defense instructor and found him to have a unique way of engaging children and adults to keep us motivated toward achieving our goals. As a result, we have a house full of healthy habits. If you are looking for someone to train with who genuinely cares for your well-being and goals, you will not be disappointed."
Madielyn Kostyk
"I started my self-defense journey because I was looking for an activity to connect with others and lose weight. The program Marc ran was a great mixture of fun, challenge and excellent training. What started as a weight loss journey turned into a journey of learning how to plan and reach goals, all with Marc’s and his wife’s encouragement, support and expertise. Even when I didn’t think I could achieve my goals, they were always there to encourage, inspire, and give me new ways to attain better fitness. I enrolled my children in his program as well. He made it fun for them to learn new techniques and how to defend themselves. His humour and support made it a wonderful experience for my children. Not only did I achieve my goal of losing weight, but my self-esteem improved and my can-do attitude. I attribute all of these positive things to Marc’s excellent instruction and the rapport he builds with his students."
Sherry Dakers
“Having Marc as our self-defense instructor was a great experience. As a parent, I was pleased with the physical progress and the change in my children’s confidence levels. The kids were getting physical activity while having fun, so I decided to join too. Marc is a great instructor with an abundance of knowledge and high energy. I was grateful for the encouragement, advice and guidance I was given, not only for myself but for my children too!”
