What You'll Learn at Our Beginner Calisthenics Workshop

Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses your own bodyweight to improve strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and overall body control. It's a great way to develop athletic skills without relying on traditional weightlifting equipment.

During this 90-minute workshop, participants will be introduced to foundational calisthenics movements, techniques, and progressions with guidance from an experienced competitive athlete.

The workshop will focus on:

Bodyweight Strength: Learn foundational exercises that help develop upper-body, core, and full-body strength.
Proper Form & Technique: Understand how to perform movements safely and effectively.
Balance & Body Control: Develop coordination, stability, and greater awareness of how your body moves.
Calisthenics Skill Progressions: Explore beginner-friendly techniques that can help you work toward more challenging movements.
Confidence & Athletic Development: Challenge yourself, try something new, and build a foundation for continued progress.

Movements can be adapted to different experience levels and abilities. Our goal is to make calisthenics approachable, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone attending.

Meet Your Instructor: Fernando Castro
