Why Calisthenics?

It’s the freedom, it’s the shapes, it’s the fun.

The FREEDOM to train wherever, whenever; even if you did not bring your equipment. Any bench or post will do – point it out and we’ll figure out a way to use it.

The SHAPES that we can twist and bend our bodies into as we practice different levers and holds is just remarkable. Sometimes all it takes is just trying and trying again to discover something new. Although, when we first start learning, any sort of position will do as long as we are able to balance for a few seconds and, after a while, with more strength and control, we’re able to finetune the movement to a very elegant outcome.

And then there’s the FUN – calisthenics parks are adult playgrounds. We gather there to meet likeminded people, make new friends and share ideas and inspiration. We switch off from a busy day, relax and have a laugh. Plus, what we do can also be entertaining to watch so it’s a win-win for everybody.

Why calisthenics? Because it makes life more versatile.
