Calisthenics is a form of functional fitness training which utilises the body's own weight to build strength, mobility and balance through a variety of movements; from pull-ups, push-ups and squats to dynamic gymnastic-style movements. Calisthenics has exploded in popularity in the UK over the last decade due to it's accessibility as it requires minimal to no equipment. There is a heavy focus on good form and whole body engagement as opposed to isolated muscle movements which tend to be performed in a typical gym environment. Calisthenics helps to improve not only strength, but balance, mobility, endurance and coordination.

Our purpose-built, outdoor calisthenics gym at Mind Body Lab 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 high bars, a medium bar, 2 dip stations and Swedish ladder with plenty of equipment and space for floor work.

Our indoor functional fitness suite 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/functional fitness session with weight plates and weight belts, kettlebells, resistance bands, pull/lever stations, dip bars, parallettes, benches and plyo boxes.

Join us for group calisthenics classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Keep an eye out for regular calisthenics-related workshops and events. We serve Wolverhampton, Cannock, Walsall and surrounding areas.
