WHAT IS CALISTHENICS?

AKA Bodyweight Training

Calisthenics is a type of workout that uses our own bodyweight with little or no equipment and involve movements and skills that creates a full body workout.

Calisthenics originated in Ancient Greece, helps improve strength, coordination & mobility. Most people, no matter how skilled, can do these exercises. That’s what makes it so much fun!

WHY CALISTHENICS?

3 reasons

Raw Strength

With our “Strength Development Program” we offer multiple types of training that focus on that progressive overload. For the best routine we recommend going 3 times a week: upperbody, lowerbody + explosive calisthenics.

Bodyweight Focussed

Bodyweight exercises improve strength, coordination, and mobility. Plus leaning new skills like Muscle-ups, Front-levers and Human-flags are just awesome to practice. These moves are of course more advanced but having a goal is super important and help you attain to improve your health.

I've been going there for 6 months now. I started because I got injured and couldn't do my usual sport but I think I'm not going back. Trainings are more than anything fun and the atmosphere is great. The trainers really manage to set an open environment and stimulate peer encouragement. Trainings are suitable for all levels in any day as the trainers know very well how to adapt the exercises for everyone. Calisthenics is a very complete sport and the people in charge really know what they are doing, I have not had an injury and have noticeably gotten stronger overall, further I feel my mind-body connection has improved. All in all, it is a great place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Was looking for a place where I would not feel overwhelmed by performance anxiety. I usually like to workout on my own pace. In Calisthenics Amsterdam I felt welcomed by the experienced people. There is a lot of care by the teachers for you to not over do it and be mindful of your own body. It taught me a lot about how working out can be enjoyable and something you gift to yourself. It motivated me to look for more challenging workouts. What I learned there about my self and body I will take with me for life :)
