Calisthenics Classes

Have you ever seen someone hold a handstand or perform an impressive bodyweight skill and thought, “I wish I could do that”?

You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.

Our calisthenics classes in Poole at Gym-22 are coach-led, bodyweight-based group sessions designed for all levels, including complete beginners with no gym experience.

Each session guides you step by step as you build strength, confidence, and control over your own body. We focus on developing real, usable strength while introducing calisthenics skills in a safe, supportive, and progressive way.

Our goal is to help you understand and master your body — and show you just how fun and empowering calisthenics training can be.

Train alongside a friendly, supportive community and discover what your body is truly capable of.

Calisthenics can look intimidating at first. Handstands, pull-ups, and advanced skills often give the impression that you need to be a gymnast or genetically gifted just to get started — but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

At Gym-22, our mission is to show you that anyone can unlock their true potential with the right mindset, structure, and progression. You don’t need elite genetics — just consistency, patience, and good coaching.

We see calisthenics as an adult playground: a place where you build strength, confidence, and control over your body — and getting in great shape is simply a by-product of having fun and learning new skills.

If you’re ready to try something different, challenge yourself, and enjoy the process, join our classes and let us show you the way.

We also offer online calisthenics coaching and 1:1 personal training for those looking for more personalised support.

Our calisthenics classes are designed to build strength, skills, and confidence in a supportive group environment.

If you want extra structure outside of class, or can’t always train in person, our Pre-Built Calisthenics Programs give you a clear, progressive training plan you can follow on your own schedule.

These programs are ideal for reinforcing what you learn in class and continuing your progress between sessions.
