CALISTHENICS coaching

The term Calisthenics originates from the greek words Kalos meaning "beauty" and Sthenos meaning “strength” and has evolved to mean the beauty of strength. In essence Calisthenics is compound (full body) exercises that utilises minimal apparatus and relies upon using ones own body weight for resistance.

Calisthenics cannot be defined as a single activity and encompasses any and all disciplines that utilise ones body weight, as such Calisthenics could be Yoga, gymnastics, martial arts, street workout, parkour or dance, the list is endless. One of the greatest qualities of Calisthenics is that it can draw upon any forms of body weight movement and allows an individual to incorporate skills and training techniques from an endless pool of activities.

As a result Calisthenics when offered up against more traditional gym based activities can be seen as a more free, expressive and organic form of exercise, you could be pushing, pulling, bending, jumping, swinging, crawling, hardstanding and everything in between. Ultimately creating a more functional form of training that enhances your ability to control and manage your body weight, build functional strength and unlock your full physical potential.
