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.
