Cambridge Calisthenics Society

Welcome to the University of Cambridge Calisthenics Society! If you're someone who has been seeing these really cool calisthenics skills (like front lever or planche) on instagram and you really want to learn but have no idea where to start, then this is for you! We are a group of people that enjoy working out using not just boring weights in the gym but also by using our own body as a weight. Work out sessions will be once a week at Coleridge Calisthenics Park (or the University Sports Centre if SU grants us access to TTR for 1-2 hours a week). These will be split into groups of people who would want to exercise on their own accord and people who are interested in learning from coaches (people in the committee who have been training calisthenics for many years now). Additionally, the sessions will be catered to beginners who want to get into calisthenics and will be taught the basics. Another set of sessions will involve group workouts, where the coaches will lead people in the exercises, making them challenging yet accessible for people of all backgrounds. The final type of session would be similar to the group work out but instead of doing reps and work on endurance, we will practice important skills in calisthenics such as the handstand, where the coaches will be teaching these.
