What are Calisthenics?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.

What is Gymnastics Strength Training?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.
