Calisthenics is a form of physical training focused on teaching you to master your own bodyweight using minimal equipment
​
The word comes from the Greek, Kalli ('Beautiful') and Sthenos ('Strength’) and dates back to 600-400 BC when Spartan soldiers used it as their primary training method.
​
Calisthenics training represents exercise in its most natural form and combines strength training and basic gymnastic movements that can be done anywhere.
Conceptually simple - which is part of its beauty - calisthenics has been tried and tested over millennia leaving no doubt that it delivers exceptional results in all facets; movement, strength, balance, coordination etc. A toned, athletic physique is an inevitable and natural by product of focusing on what your body can do.
The great thing about progressive bodyweight training is that with consistent training at an appropriate intensity, the two come together. You get a box full of gravity defying movement skills and, an athletic physique.
