Calisthenics is a fantastic, accessible way to build strength, flexibility, and balance—all using your body weight. If you're wondering whether you need prior fitness experience to get started, the answer is a resounding no! Whether you’re completely new to exercise or already active, calisthenics is highly adaptable, making it easy for anyone to jump in at their own level.
To help you make the most of your journey, we've put together two specially crafted packages—our Starter Package and Advanced Package—that include essential tools for building strength and control as you progress.
No Experience Needed: Why Calisthenics is Beginner-Friendly
Calisthenics builds your strength and endurance progressively, making it accessible for all fitness levels. The key movements are foundational exercises you likely already know, like push-ups, squats, and planks, which can be modified for any level. Starting with simpler versions and gradually working up allows you to improve at your own pace.
Key Benefits for Beginners:
- Build Strength Safely: Calisthenics uses body weight, reducing the risk of injury from heavy weights.
- Enhance Mobility and Flexibility: It includes exercises that improve both, helping prevent stiffness and injuries.
- Develop Functional Fitness: Calisthenics builds strength and agility that benefits everyday movements, from lifting objects to balancing.
Essentials to Kickstart Your Calisthenics Journey
Though calisthenics requires minimal equipment, having a few well-chosen tools can help you progress faster and perform exercises correctly. Whether you're a beginner or ready to take it up a notch, our packages have what you need to get started and advance.
Our Starter Package: Perfect for Beginners
The Starter Package is crafted for those who are new to calisthenics, giving you all you need to build a strong foundation:
- 30cm Parallettes: Parallettes are essential for core calisthenics exercises like dips, push-ups, and L-sits. They help you build strength in your arms, chest, and core safely, with added support.
- 50ml Chalk: Chalk enhances grip, reducing slip during exercises and helping you focus on form rather than grip strength. This is especially useful as you get comfortable with new movements.
If you're just starting out, this package allows you to practice fundamental exercises safely while developing the grip strength, core stability, and coordination needed to progress in calisthenics.
Our Advanced Package: Take Your Skills to the Next Level
If you're already active or ready to work toward more complex moves, our Advanced Package is designed to help you develop the strength, flexibility, and skill required for advanced calisthenics exercises.
- 30cm or 50cm Parallettes: These heavy-duty parallettes offer stability for everything from basic exercises to advanced moves like planches and handstands.
- Resistance Bands: Essential for adding progressive resistance to your workouts, these bands allow you to work on strength-building moves like pull-ups, dips, and core work, with assistance to help perfect your form.
- 200ml Chalk: With a larger supply of chalk, you’re ready for high-intensity sessions without worrying about your grip slipping.
This package is ideal for those ready to explore advanced exercises or who want a more versatile training setup to unlock moves like muscle-ups, front levers, and beyond.
