Fantastic experience: Great group to introduce me to calisthenics. Class environment is very welcoming and encourages everyone to only go at their own pace. Instructors and class mates all fully understand what alternative exercises to perform, appropriate to your skill level. Their free trial is highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: A bunch of people from all genders and nationalities gather here every day to endure Alex and his team's tough love. If you think you are fit but never tried calisthenics, think again. Or maybe show up and give it a go, and be prepared to go through one of the toughest training sessions you will have experienced, surrounded by a handful of supportive, friendly humans.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome, lots of cool equipment, and Alex is a fantastic trainer, he’s particularly good at making things easy for beginners, taking it all back to basics to make sure we get it right and we enjoy the process, as well as engaging and checking on each and every one of us. Seeing what members that have being going there consistently for a while is inspiring, the first class I attended got me tired eventually but it was so much fun and I can’t wait for next class!

Aww that's very kind of you Jessica thank you. I'm very excited to see you progress in calisthenics. Making it fun is what it's all about so thanks for being super cool ;-)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Alex every week since about 2011 because he makes it challenging yet fun and no one session is ever the same. He quickly gets to know what a body needs – and what our minds like to avoid – and I’m fitter and stronger two years shy of 60 than I was in my mid-40s when I started. I think it’s because Alex really cares about making sure that your training enhances your lifestyle, so that you can do everything else you love – yoga, bushwalking, tennis, surfing, swimming. He takes it all into account. And if you turn up to training with an injury from soccer or tennis, Alex takes care to help you recover and rebuild. If you’ve never run, trained or gone to the gym but would like to be stronger, I highly recommend training with Alex. If you’re a workout junkie, you will also love training with Alex. It is never too late to start.

Fantastic experience: At Alex's Gym, each workout is a blend of variety and challenge, thanks to what seems like Alex's sixth sense for sensing each individual’s ability whilst keeping boredom at bay; one day you might be hanging from bars feeling like Sylvester Stallone in cliff-hanger, and the next, you're balancing on rings wondering when the circus is coming to town to recruit you. This ever-changing line-up of exercises ensures that your workouts are as engaging as they are effective. But it's not all about the theatrics of fitness; the results are tangible and impressive. Alex's approach blends fun elements with serious training, keeping you motivated and eager to see what's next. Whether you're defying gravity on the rings or navigating the jungle of gym equipment, you're not just working out - you're self-preserving your fitness so in the inevitable years of decline when your bones start turning to dust getting off the couch won’t feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying PT classes with Alex at Melbourne Cali. The sessions are tailored to me to grow in strength and flexibility through combination of body weight and weighted exercises. Alex challenges me in this training to improve my overall health through exercise and diet. He is flexible with my goals and supports other sporting interests such as running with relevant strength and flexibility mixed into my training.

Fantastic experience: The best place to be - always a fun group of people to do this form of excercise!!! No matter what fitness level we all move at the same pace for warm ups/downs - we may break off to do different level activity but we all still work with one another! Honestly a great fun place to learn - if you have body image issues, confidence issues everyone in the different levels all work with you - it's the place to be!!!!

Fantastic experience: Alex & co at Melbourne Calisthenics have a never-ending array of bodyweight based exercises that are always challenging and delivered with great expertise and good humour by down to earth trainers. The online classes are almost as good as the real thing and will keep you motivated and fit during lockdown. Good times w cali.

Adrian Hachmann 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The online sessions have been a great way to maintain and build strength during lockdown. Definitely noticed a massive improvement in my own training that can be attributed to these classes. Highly recommend.

Belinda Lee 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The place to train if you wish to learn how Calisthenics is done on the Streets. Trainers are very knowledgable. Strict with form and technique with a lot of fun. If you are looking to get your first pull/chin up or have the perfect push up, then you cannot go past Melbourne Calisthenics.
