Calisthenics are the most natural form of training for your body - which explains why injuries from bodyweight exercises are far less common than in weightlifting. It is also one of the few ways to get rid of muscular imbalances in arms and legs, as bodyweight training offers a wide variety of unilateral exercises that will even out strength levels between your dominant and non-dominant sides. So this way it even acts as an injury preventing type of training!

One of the biggest reasons why people don’t workout during their work trips is a lack of time to go to the gym. Well, you don’t have that problem with calisthenics because you can continue your program with one of our trainers via video sessions by doing a variety of complex strength exercises without having to leave your hotel room!

Let’s also not forget how hard it was to stay fit during the pandemic in NYC. Imagine how much easier it could have been if more people knew how to use calisthenics in NYC using progressive bodyweight training techniques.

Bodyweight training leads to serious strength gains. You may have to start at a low level, but if you set up a proper training program to follow, then you can get to some high points where you will be able to do single arm chin ups, one arm push ups, free handstands, pistol squats, bridge holds and many other feats of strength. The sky is the limit! You will gain strength, anaerobic and aerobic conditioning in addition to improving your psychomotor skills such as balance, agility and coordination.

Most bodyweight training programs are very simple (not easy though). If you can’t do an exercise like a push up, then your trainer will have you take a step back and do a regressed version of a push up until you get strong enough. Same thing with any other exercise like a pull up, squat, etc. Calisthenics are famously great for having regressions and progressions for any exercise - that’s why it is great for people of all fitness levels!

The best way to improve your mobility is to do exercises with a full range of motion that require you to maintain muscular tension. That is why squats and lunges work so great for people with tight hips and ankles, or pull ups for folks with tight shoulders. If you want to move and feel better, then high quality strength training is the answer for you!

We all know that diet is the most important tool to lose body fat. After it, comes strength training (which is all we focus on) as it helps you build muscle and as a result increases your metabolism. But it also works on phycological level. You see, when your goal is to do 5 pull ups for example, you can do two things to reach it: get stronger and get lighter. Most people will just focus on strength training, however, the vast majority of people will do both by subconsciously eating less food because their brain knows that their body needs to stay light or become lighter to be able to do more pull ups! One of our trainers, Alex Ceban lost 10lb not even trying to, just because his goal was to do a human flag and his body knew that it had to weigh less for that task. It worked!

Bodyweight training can offer training options for various goals. For example if you want to improve your strength and mobility - go with progressive calisthenics. Need to work on your conditioning? Then go with running, crawling and swimming. Bodyweight training has a lot to offer to any user!

Most bodyweight exercises like push ups, squats, pull ups and their progressions will keep your joints strong and healthy for years to come. Reality is that strength training is the best medicine for any aging body and by getting stronger, you will without a doubt improve your life quality.

Let’s face it: any athlete who is proficient in bodyweight training pretty much always seems to have a very impressive looking body.
