Introduction to Calisthenics

Join us for this introduction to Calisthenics class. No previous experience is required, this is designed for beginners.

Calisthenics is a form of strength training that utlises an individual's bodyweight as resistance to perform multi joint compound movements with little or no equipment.

It relies on bodyweight for resistance which naturally adapts to an individual's unique physical attributes. This allows calisthenics exercsies to be personalised and accessible for various body structures and age ranges. 

Tuesdays 1:15-2pm at the studio in the Staff Wellbeing Hub.

You don’t need any special kit – just wear trainers and something you’re comfortable in. We recommend bringing a bottle of water with you.

Staff 30-minute spin

Come and join this 30-minute spin class which is a great introduction to indoor cycling. All University of Leeds staff are welcome to join these sessions which will be led by Michelle and Patrick teaching alternate weeks.

Wednesdays 5:00-5:35pm in the spin studio at The Edge. Please speak to reception on arrival, who will direct you.

 You don’t need to have tried spin before; the session caters for all experience and fitness levels. Michelle and Patrick will motivate you and help you find your spinning flow to classic tunes from the 80s, 90s and 00s. You’ll raise your heart rate and your endorphin levels!

You don’t need any special kit – just wear trainers and something you’re comfortable in. We recommend bringing a bottle of water and you might like to bring a towel. Showers and lockers are available at The Edge.

Please try to arrive 5 minutes before the start time so the teachers have time to familiarise you with the bike.
