Find out if this is for youYou’ve tried to get consistent before, but life somehow always keeps getting in the way.
You go to the gym, but you’re not really sure if what you’re doing is working.
You feel like you should be further along by now, in body and in energy.
You don’t want to look like you don’t know what you’re doing.
You know what you need to do, but you keep starting over.
This is for you if:
- You have a busy schedule and need sessions that fit around work and family.
- You’re a man between 30-55 who wants to get serious about training.
- You’ve tried gyms before but never really found your rhythm.
- You want to feel stronger, look better, and have more energy.
- You want to prove to yourself that you can actually do this.
- You value being coached, not just being given access.
- You are ready to stop researching and start moving.
This is not for you if:
- You want to train alone without any accountability.
- You’re not open to being coached and challenged.
- You’re looking for the cheapest option in the city.
- You want to be told what you want to hear.
- You are not ready to show up consistently.
- You’re hoping for quick fixes.
This isn’t a gym – it’s a coaching gym.
Most gyms sell you access. We sell you progress. Here is what that actually looks like:
The Regular gym Experience
- Starts with a sign-up form.
- Generic programs.
- Month-to-month, no direction.
- You figure it out yourself.
- Cardio machines and mirrors.
- No follow-up if you stop showing up.
Calisthenics Amsterdam
- Starts with a biometric scan. Data, not guesswork.
- A clear starting phase with a plan.
- Built around your body and schedule.
- You train with coaches who know your name.
- Functional strength you actually feel.
- We notice, and we reach out.

A few things men usually ask.
No. Most of our members start without being able to do a single pull-up. We have had men in their 50s go from zero to their first muscle-up.
No. We build your plan around where you actually are.
That is exactly who this program is designed for. Your first session is adapted to where you are now.
Two sessions per week is enough. We plan around your schedule.
The Starter Pack is €249 for 4 weeks. After that, group memberships start at €167 per 4 weeks, semi-private at €299, and personal training at €349. We go over the options in your strategy session.
Group training is coached sessions with up to 16 people – structured, energetic, and great for building consistency. Personal training is fully 1-on-1: your coach, your plan, your pace. All include real coaching – the difference is how much of that attention is yours alone. Not sure which fits? We’ll figure it out together in your strategy session.
We are at Metaalbewerkerweg 11 in Amsterdam Noord. You can find the route on our locations page.
