BIOGRAPHY

Art is a Seminar Instructor at Gym Jones and the Director of our cycling program. Art is a Category 1 professional cyclist and a 21 time state cycling champion. Art is a life long athlete. Art started as a junior ski racer, went on to compete as a Division 1 Track & Field Athlete, and then transitioned into cycling. Art also has a degree in Exercise Physiology and is the owner/founder of WUKAR (Wake Up, Kick Ass, Repeat). The Gym Jones mantra “the mind is primary” rings especially true with Art. He has always believed that the mind and body must be developed in tandem – even as a dirt-poor “pro” cyclist he set aside a portion of his earnings to work with a sports psychologist. He began training at Gym Jones during a transitional part of his life. Although he has long understood the importance of mindset, The Gym Jones philosophy gave him a deeper understanding that he'd been seeking as an athlete and as a student of physical culture. He believes that learning how to access that level above "hard" allows you to develop completely as an athlete and a person. Given the right tools, everyone can re-write their standard.
