Is this for me?

Calisthenics Start is our way in for people who are new to training with their own bodyweight.

NewYou have never trained calisthenics, or not for a long time.
No pull-up yetThat's fine. Hanging and the way to your first pull-up is one of the four topics.
Want a planYou'd rather have a clear structure for your first weeks than guess which class to pick.
Physio said: get strongerGood fit if a physiotherapist has recommended strength training and you have no acute pain. Tell your coach about any issues before class.

Four Saturdays, four topics

Each Saturday has its own topic. Every session you work on your own step of the progression and finish with a short check of one exercise, so you see where you stand each week.

Topic 1

Push

Push-ups and pressing on your hands, from the wall to the floor. Plank and first dips from the bench.

Topic 2

Hang & Pull

Active hang, scapular pulls and pull-up negatives: the way to your first pull-up.

Topic 3

Row & Body Line

Rows from upright to Australian pull-ups, hollow hold and reverse plank for a strong body line.

Topic 4

Support & Core

Support on the bars, dip negatives, L-sit with your feet down and squats.

Join any Saturday. The topics run in a loop, so four Saturdays in a row cover all four, wherever you start.

One Saturday, 60 minutes

  1. Warm-upWrists, shoulders, hips.
  2. Basic positionsHollow, arch, active hang, support, plank. Every Saturday, so they become yours.
