“Through the vision of a child, CREATIN’ MONSTERS has been a brand that has been involved in the community since 2002. In 2008, after working for several corporate and highly recognized sports training facilities, my family and I had decided to open CREATIN’ MONSTERS in our 2 car garage.
Throughout the years, I’ve gained knowledge through many experiences working with NFL/MLB/NBA/AFL organizations – developing personal and team training for the professional, collegiate and high school levels; and including professional UFC Fighters. In my years of training, I’ve also played dual-roles as a football position coach as well as an assistant strength coach at the collegiate and high school level.
I have 15+ years of experience, as well as a Bachelors in Exercise Science and achieving my Masters in Biomechanics; with 17 certifications such as CSCS, and all levels of NASM certifications. Throughout my career, I’ve obtained achievements becoming a Master Instructor for Vertimax and Power Plate, also working with great companies becoming a sponsored coach with Marc Pro, Rapid Reboot, Cryotherapy, and Boost Oxygen. Over the course of my career, I personally have had the privilege to play football at the collegiate and professional level. This has provided me with the knowledge and experience which has allowed me to perfect my craft in my profession.”
When asked “How and why do you implement Boost Oxygen at Creatin’ Monsters?”, Justin replied:
“Using Boost Oxygen at my facility has been beneficial for my athletes, particularly when performing on their sprinting days. By doing so we first teach the concept of diaphragmatic breathing which 1) helps our respiratory system to work more efficiently, 2) stimulates the relaxation response, and, 3) improves posture. By doing so, explaining that the greatest impact stress of running occurs when one’s footstrike coincides with the beginning of an exhalation. My athletes also use Boost Oxygen in a recovery situation. Also, they are using the peppermint flavor knowing that peppermint can benefit lung health, and respiratory health, as well. By doing so, my athletes have been able to decrease their recovery time when performing excessive amounts of sprints – including being able to perform within a relaxed pace due to the type of breathing techniques and incorporating Boost Oxygen into our training regime.”
