Breaking Free: How Calisthenics Changed My Life

 Let me cut straight to it: I don’t do ads.

After spending four years in college studying economics and marketing, and seven years consulting in business organization, I realized something: most of it didn’t matter.

The long hours, the endless reports, the polished audits?

They usually ended up collecting dust on a shelf somewhere, buried in office politics or handed off as someone else’s accomplishment.

That realization hit hard. My work didn’t make a real impact.

So I left.

I quit the corporate grind because it lacked meaning.

I was tired of contributing to something that felt hollow, so I poured my energy into something that did make a difference: transforming lives through calisthenics.

I moved from Paris to L.A in 2014 to achieve this goal.

Now, instead of reports, I create personalized workout programs. Instead of chasing meaningless KPI's, I’m chasing something far more rewarding, helping people like you rediscover their ...

3 Proven Ways to Break Through Plateaus in Calisthenics

Progress in fitness—or any area of life—doesn’t come easy.

True growth comes when you embrace failure, push your limits, and challenge yourself beyond comfort.

If you’ve been stuck at the same level in your calisthenics journey, it’s time to stop spinning your wheels and start taking action.

Here are the three most effective ways to push past plateaus, trigger failure, and unlock real progress in your training.

1. Add More Sets and Reps

If you’ve been following the same workout routine for more than three months, it’s time to step it up.

Your body adapts quickly to repetitive patterns, and the key to progress is giving it a new challenge.

Start by increasing the volume in your sets and reps. But don’t just go through the motions—make sure those last reps push you to your limit.

Struggling on those final reps is where real growth happens.

Example: Push-Up Volume Boost

Take the basic push-up, for instance.

Strength for Life: A Calisthenics Story of Persistence

When I opened the first calisthenics gym in Los Angeles in 2015, my goal was clear: transform people’s lives through calisthenics and a holistic approach to wellness.

That mission hasn’t changed, even as the gym itself has evolved.

And one of my earliest clients, Adrian, is proof of what’s possible when you fully embrace calisthenics for the long haul.

He can now tackle a hard 5 pull ups/10 push ups 20 minute EMOM training like a walk in the park.

Adrian’s Journey Begins

Adrian walked into Street Workout Academy, in 2015, while in his mid-20s, ready for a challenge. He trusted the process, trained hard, and showed up consistently for two and a half years.

We focused on building his strength, endurance, and flexibility.

From improving his pull-ups to achieving his first handstand, Adrian’s progress was imp...

The Warmup Move Every Calisthenics Beginner Needs to Know

If you’re serious about getting the most out of your calisthenics workouts, then warming up properly isn’t optional—it’s a necessity.

Skipping a warmup might save a few minutes, but it’s a great way to limit your performance and risk injury.

So whatever your workout is, here is one of the best warmup exercises for beginners and advanced athletes alike: standing toe taps.

Why Standing Toe Taps?

The standing toe tap is deceptively simple.

While it may look like a basic stretch, it’s actually working multiple muscle groups at once.

This move activates your core, strengthens your back, and increases flexibility in your hips and hamstrings, all while getting your heart rate up.

When done for 2-3 minutes, toe taps also provide a gentle cardio boost, making them an excellent choice for an all-around warmup.

How to Do Standing Toe Taps

Let’s break down how to perform standing toe taps with good form.

The Power Move You Didn’t Know You Needed!

If you’re diving into calisthenics, let’s start with something foundational—no, not flashy handstands or flips—just hanging around.

Yes, literally hanging.

The deadhang is probably the simplest-looking move in calisthenics for beginners, but don’t underestimate it!

This move is a lot more than it looks and will boost your journey toward a stronger grip, bulletproof shoulders, and that first pull-up you’ve been dreaming about.

Think you can already hang from a bar? Hold up—most people can’t last 10 seconds! This move is crucial because it sets up everything else in calisthenics.

Here’s why the deadhang should be your new best friend, how to nail it, and a quick guide on adding it to your training so you can actually get somewhere with your goals.

Why Start with the Deadhang?

In calisthenics, we’re building full-body strength, and that includes everything from your fingertips down to your toes.

The deadhang activates your entire muscle ...
