What is Calistenia/ The Body weight training you can practise and discover in Geneva?

I currently teach calisthenics classes on Saturdays at 12 PM in Sarasin Park. It’s necessary to contact us and sign up in advance, as a minimum of three people is required for the class to take place.

Calisthenia, also known as calisthenics, is a form of exercise that focuses on using bodyweight movements to build strength, increase flexibility, and improve overall fitness. The word «calisthenics» is derived from the Greek words «kallos» meaning beauty and «sthenos» meaning strength.

Calisthenics exercises typically involve movements that utilize multiple muscle groups and joints, engaging the entire body in a coordinated manner. These exercises can include push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, planks, and various other bodyweight exercises.
