Personal training in Amsterdam Noord

You don’t get a membership here. You get a coach.

A plan built around your body and your week, and someone who keeps you to it.

Most of our members started as complete beginners. What they were missing wasn’t motivation. It was direction.

Personal training, semi-private and group coaching, always with a certified coach on the floor.

What Personal Training here actually looks like

Calisthenics Amsterdam is a coaching gym in Amsterdam Noord. We work with professionals and parents between 30 and 55 who want structure and guidance, without the noise of a commercial gym. Open Monday to Friday 7am to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am to 12pm.

Every new client starts with a Starter Pack: 28 days with a coach, an InBody scan and unlimited group training, so you begin with a plan instead of a guess.

After that you always know what you’re working on and why. Your coach tracks your progress and adjusts the plan when it needs adjusting. You sit down together at the start, after thirty days, after sixty, and every three months from there. That rhythm is the difference between training at a gym and having a coach.

What actually changed for people here

Female client Sherida at Calisthenics Amsterdam showing 6 months of pull-up and dips progress in Amsterdam Noord.

Six months of steady coaching. She started needing a band for every pull-up and can now do two without one, and went from assisted dips to six on her own. Strength that shows up outside the gym.

Sherida
Male client Joeri at Calisthenics Amsterdam showing 6 months of calisthenics progress including pull-ups, human flag and weight loss.

In six months Joeri got stronger across the board and went from 96.9 to 92.5 kg. The strength and the weight moved together, which is how it should work.

Joeri
Male client Robert at Calisthenics Amsterdam showing 3 months of muscle-up progress and body fat reduction with coached calisthenics training.

Three months in, Robert went from not being able to pull himself over the bar to doing it twice in a row, and his body fat dropped from 19.4% to 16.6%.

Robert
Female client at Calisthenics Amsterdam showing 3 months of calisthenics skills progress including pull-ups, handstand and V-sit.

Three months. From 2 pull-ups to 8, and a handstand she can hold for 10 seconds instead of 3.

Baseline and plan

We measure where you’re starting and build your plan around your week, not around a template. You’ll train, but nothing that leaves you unable to pick up your kids the next day.

Finding the rhythm

The movements start to feel less awkward. This is usually the week people realise they’re not as far behind as they thought.

Adjusting around your week

We adjust. Something will have come up, a bad night, a work trip, a sore shoulder. Your coach changes the plan around it instead of you falling off it.
