The main differences are group size, commitment, and goal-setting.

• Group Classes are larger (10-12 people), drop-in sessions designed to provide a high-energy workout with a specific training topic. Our coaches still work to progress athletes toward their goals, though the programming is less individualized due to the higher number of participants and weekly variation in attendance.

• Focus Groups are a more exclusive offering, with a maximum of 4 people. They require a four-week minimum commitment and are designed for a specific level of athlete. The smaller size allows the coach to provide more hands-on guidance, work toward higher-level skills, and create a tailored training program to help you overcome plateaus.

The Oxford definition of Calisthenics is "gymnastic exercises to achieve bodily fitness and grace of movement."

How most people understand calisthenics is that it's bodyweight strength training. We use the principals of Gymnastic Strength Training (GST) to guide our calisthenic workouts. See the next FAQ to learn about GST.

While most of our classes are designed to be scalable for all levels, we recommend beginners start with our Calisthenics Fitness classes, such as Upper, Lower, or Core. These classes are designed to build your foundational strength and safely prepare you for more advanced training.

Classes not recommended for beginners include Handstand Balance and Alignment and Rings Beginner & Open Level.

For a more personalized start, you can book a 90-minute assessment with a coach to streamline your start and get you moving effectively.

Gymnastic strength training (GST) in principal is the same as calisthenics as it is a method of training involving bodyweight exercises that work towards mastering your body. What makes GST different is it's methodical approach and build up toward specific gymnastic skills that are intended to build a strong, balanced body. Gymnastic Strength Training was coined by the founder of GymnasticsBodies, coach Christopher Sommer. His philosophy is that strength without flexibility is as useless as flexibility without strength—the power is in the combination.
