Calisthenics

 

Wolverhampton's first purpose-built Calisthenics Gym

An outdoor gym for good weather days - an indoor gym for poor weather days

 

 

What is Calisthenics?

Calisthenics is a form of strength training which consists of a variety of movements; from pull-ups, push-ups and squats to dynamic gymnastic-style movements. These exercises are often performed rhythmically and with minimal equipment, as bodyweight exercises. Calisthenics helps to improve not only strength, but balance, mobility, endurance and coordination. At Mind Body Lab, we promote calisthenics as a more mindful and holistic way to train.

Our purpose-built, outdoor calisthenics gym is the first of it's kind in Wolverhampton and offers a more holistic way to train. Get your vitamin D hit, your nature fix and move your body, all at the same time. The birds are our soundtrack, the elements are our connection to nature and you won't see any mirrors here, allowing you to connect to your inner space. We currently have installed a square rig for pull work and dynamic moves, a high bar, medium bar, 2 dip stations and Swedish ladder with  plenty of equipment and space for floor work. !

Our indoor functional fitness area is in our conservatory where you will find plenty of equipment to keep you moving throughout the cooler months. The gym is rubber matted and fully equipped for a great calisthenics session with weight plates and weight belts, kettlebells, resistance bands, pull/lever stations, dip bars, parallettes, benches and plyo boxes.
