Calisthenics Master Trainer

Certified Calisthenics Master Trainer - Body weight training with that little bit extra

What exactly is calisthenics training?

The term calisthenics comes from the Greek and means something like "beautiful strength". You could also call it street workout or simply body weight training. Whether it's acrobatic moves, basic exercises or even exercises with the help of equipment, calisthenics can be used to train in a variety of ways.

Calisthenics training deliberately avoids training individual muscle groups. Machine training can also be avoided with this training concept, as they dictate the training movement. Squats, push-ups, pull-ups and lunges are typical exercises for bodyweight training. What all exercises have in common is that they train several large muscle groups at the same time. The advantage of calisthenic training is that it trains self-awareness and coordination and makes you more aware of your own body. You gain better body control, which in turn has a positive effect on everyday life, training and competition. Everyone has the best gym with them everywhere and at all times - their own body weight!

What can you expect from our training?

In the basic module, we will first deal with anatomical, physiological and training science basics. Nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge and first aid for sports injuries also play an important role in our training program.

In addition to optimal technique in theory and correct execution in practice, the Calisthenics Master Trainer module also covers various learning and improvement methods.

We show you preliminary exercises and the correct execution of statics such as the human flag, plank variations, handstands and dynamics such as muscle ups and rolls.

We also take a look at efficient training planning in calisthenics training as well as competition rules and principles of training.

Conditions of participation

  • Online or written registration
  • Basic physical fitness (experience in equipment training or a gym membership is an advantage)
  • Minimum age 18 years (for participants under 18 years, written parental consent is required for registration)

Training theory

The first part of training theory teaches the basics of training, such as training principles, principles of training design, training methods and the factors of athletic performance.
As performance, performance diagnostics, training and competition are closely interrelated, they are also taught accordingly in the course.

In the second part of training theory, training is defined and evaluated as a complex action process and in connection with planning, execution and evaluation.
An important part of training theory is still the design of training plans, which is taught in practice with examples of the possibilities of designing a training plan.

In order to delve even deeper into training science, we have worked with top international speakers such as Prof. em. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Weineck, we have also developed a video workshop on the subject of altitude training.

Calisthenics Warm-up and Mobilization

In theory, the importance and effects of warming up are discussed. In the subsequent practice, various exercises and methods for improving active mobility are covered, as well as different warm-up options for a training session, which are also tried out.

Warming up is an important part of every training program, whether you regularly go jogging, lift weights, or just want to stay fit. The main function of warming up is to optimally prepare the body for the upcoming exertion. Improved tissue circulation can help prevent injuries and increase performance.

But warming up also needs to be learned! That's why proper warm-up and mobilization of the body is not only a topic in Calisthenics training, but also in our Fitness Trainer Certification.

First, you should warm up in general, and then specifically for the physical activity you want to perform. For example, you can start with light jogging or cycling, and then continue with stretching exercises for the muscle groups that will be most used. Don't forget to warm up your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hips.

Many people think that warming up is the same for everyone, but that's not true. There are various factors to consider, such as the type of training, intensity, ambient temperature, whether you are already warm or not, and much more. Warm-up should be individually tailored and not just a general warm-up plan for all clients. As a trainer, you will find the warm-up exercises and methods that work best for each individual among your clients.


  • MOBILITY
    • Main problem groups and exercises
    • Shoulder (e.g. bridge, hang)
    • Hip (e.g. bridge, archer squat)
    • Back of the thigh (e.g. archer squat, bear walk stretched)
    • Importance of active mobility
    • Integration of mobility into training
  • WARM-UP
    • Targeted and specific warm-up
    • Consideration of joints and structures involved
    • Individual design of the warm-up
    • Use of playful forms and partner exercises
    • Problem areas: Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip

Calisthenics Special: Dynamic
Dynamic strength exercises are an effective way to strengthen muscles and improve endurance. These exercises are usually performed with weights to load and strengthen the muscles, but as calsthenics enthusiasts we know that your own body weight is enough.

This session of the Calisthenics Master Trainer course is packed with practice. Acrobatic and technical exercises are discussed and practiced. These include, for example, rolls, bar transfers and 360s, handstand push-ups and muscle-ups.

Acrobatic and swing elements are of course more for fun and the show effect, but what would sports training be without fun?

  • DYNAMIC SKILLS - STRENGTH-ORIENTED
    • Classics: muscle up, one-arm pull-up, handstand push-up
    • Preliminary exercises for statics (e.g. front raises)
    • Definition and differentiation of dynamics

TAB
Calisthenics Special: Static
Statics are an important and challenging part of calisthenics. They include complex exercises in which the body is held in a tense position. The focus of these exercises is almost always strength. In this unit, training methods, preliminary exercises and the correct execution of various exercises are discussed and, of course, tried out in practice. These include the human flag, handstand, frontlever/backlever and planche. The human flag is not one of the first exercises that springs to mind when you think of calisthenics for nothing. You really need strength in every muscle for this exercise and it shows that training with your own body weight is everything, but not boring. Of course, our participants dont have to master these exercises to do the Calisthenics Master Trainer course! As with all our training courses, we start with the basics and make sure that the practice can be carried out correctly with the right preliminary exercises.

  • STATICS (SKILLS) - STRENGTH-ORIENTED
    • Advanced classics: Frontlever, Planche
    • Intermediate classics: Backlever, Human Flag

Calisthenics Training Plans
The subject "Training planning in calisthenics sport" deals with the development of effective training plans for calisthenics training. Calisthenics is a form of strength training that is performed using your own body weight and includes exercises such as pull-ups, press-ups, dips and various static holding exercises. In this subject, participants learn how to define training goals, structure training programs and plan progressions to improve the physical fitness, strength and flexibility of their students. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered, including how to adapt training plans to individual needs and progression levels. The aim is to enable aspiring coaches to create effective and safe calisthenics training programs that support holistic physical development.

Calisthenics Basic Exercises

Calisthenics is an effective training method that does not require any equipment. The training is based on body weight and your own strength. The training not only works the muscles, but also the so-called deep muscles. These are responsible for the stability of the body and are hardly used in conventional equipment training. Calisthenics is a form of strength training in which only your own body weight is used as resistance. Using your own body weight strength makes your muscles stronger and improves coordination. Calisthenics is suitable for all age groups and can be performed both indoors and outdoors. The exercises can be adapted to suit your own needs and abilities. As a Calisthenics Master Trainer, you can therefore work in a way that is absolutely appropriate for your target group. This unit deals with the classic basic exercises of bodyweight training, such as the pull-up, the push-up and the squat. The fact that these exercises are also part of the Fitnesstrainer training course underlines their importance in the training plan. In addition to the optimal technique in theory and the correct execution in practice, various learning and improvement methods are also discussed, as well as the methodical structure of the exercises.

Calisthenics: History and Guiding Principles
The idea of using ones body for strength exercises has existed since ancient times. Even in todays world, training with ones own body weight is a part of almost every training program, even if its just in the form of classic push-ups.

While the training for a certified fitness trainer also covers exercises with equipment, the Calisthenics Master Trainer course focuses on training with ones own body weight.

However, if you think back to the often boring and monotonous physical education classes in school, you are mistaken: training with ones own body weight offers a rich variety! While Basic Calisthenics focuses on muscle building without weights, the focus of Endurance Calisthenics is on endurance, and Freestyle Calisthenics impresses with versatile dynamic, acrobatic exercises.

In this unit, we will not only discuss the historical influences on modern Calisthenics, but also the different directions and the principles of competition evaluation.

Of course, we will also extensively cover the most important general principles to consider during training.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.

However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.

We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.

Can I take educational leave for the course?

Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.

If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.

Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.

How does educational leave work?

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:

  • Educational leave spread over 12 months
  • split educational leave, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
  • Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years

It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.

You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What is calisthenics?

Calisthenics is training with your own body weight. This is why it is also known as bodyweight training and street workout. Exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups and squats therefore also fall under calisthenics. However, the training method is actually known for the more advanced exercises, such as the human flag or front lever.

The advantage of calisthenics is that no equipment is required and instead the environment is incorporated into the training. For example, climbing frames in playgrounds are often used for advanced exercises.

What can I do later with the Calisthenics Master Trainer course?

Participants can use the training to optimize their own training or to establish themselves professionally.

As a calisthenics trainer, you can use the practical and theoretical knowledge you have acquired, such as training planning and competition rules, to prepare clients for bodyweight competitions.

Of course, you can also do the course as an extension to your personal trainer training and coach your clients with a focus on bodyweight training. The advantage of this is that you don't have to provide a lot of equipment for personal training and can still offer the client a full workout.

Where do calisthenics trainers work?

As a calisthenics trainer, you are very free in your choice of "workplace". When the weather is nice, you can train your clients outdoors and use and integrate playgrounds or nature as a training location. In winter, you can rent a gym or train at the customer's home.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from gyms on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Certified Calisthenics Master Trainer - Body weight training with that little bit extra

What exactly is calisthenics training?

The term calisthenics comes from the Greek and means something like "beautiful strength". You could also call it street workout or simply body weight training. Whether it's acrobatic moves, basic exercises or even exercises with the help of equipment, calisthenics can be used to train in a variety of ways.

Calisthenics training deliberately avoids training individual muscle groups. Machine training can also be avoided with this training concept, as they dictate the training movement. Squats, push-ups, pull-ups and lunges are typical exercises for bodyweight training. What all exercises have in common is that they train several large muscle groups at the same time. The advantage of calisthenic training is that it trains self-awareness and coordination and makes you more aware of your own body. You gain better body control, which in turn has a positive effect on everyday life, training and competition. Everyone has the best gym with them everywhere and at all times - their own body weight!

What can you expect from our training?

In the basic module, we will first deal with anatomical, physiological and training science basics. Nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge and first aid for sports injuries also play an important role in our training program.

In addition to optimal technique in theory and correct execution in practice, the Calisthenics Master Trainer module also covers various learning and improvement methods.

We show you preliminary exercises and the correct execution of statics such as the human flag, plank variations, handstands and dynamics such as muscle ups and rolls.

We also take a look at efficient training planning in calisthenics training as well as competition rules and principles of training.

Conditions of participation

  • Online or written registration
  • Basic physical fitness (experience in equipment training or a gym membership is an advantage)
  • Minimum age 18 years (for participants under 18 years, written parental consent is required for registration)

Training theory

The first part of training theory teaches the basics of training, such as training principles, principles of training design, training methods and the factors of athletic performance.
As performance, performance diagnostics, training and competition are closely interrelated, they are also taught accordingly in the course.

In the second part of training theory, training is defined and evaluated as a complex action process and in connection with planning, execution and evaluation.
An important part of training theory is still the design of training plans, which is taught in practice with examples of the possibilities of designing a training plan.

In order to delve even deeper into training science, we have worked with top international speakers such as Prof. em. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Weineck, we have also developed a video workshop on the subject of altitude training.

Calisthenics Warm-up and Mobilization

In theory, the importance and effects of warming up are discussed. In the subsequent practice, various exercises and methods for improving active mobility are covered, as well as different warm-up options for a training session, which are also tried out.

Warming up is an important part of every training program, whether you regularly go jogging, lift weights, or just want to stay fit. The main function of warming up is to optimally prepare the body for the upcoming exertion. Improved tissue circulation can help prevent injuries and increase performance.

But warming up also needs to be learned! That's why proper warm-up and mobilization of the body is not only a topic in Calisthenics training, but also in our Fitness Trainer Certification.

First, you should warm up in general, and then specifically for the physical activity you want to perform. For example, you can start with light jogging or cycling, and then continue with stretching exercises for the muscle groups that will be most used. Don't forget to warm up your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hips.

Many people think that warming up is the same for everyone, but that's not true. There are various factors to consider, such as the type of training, intensity, ambient temperature, whether you are already warm or not, and much more. Warm-up should be individually tailored and not just a general warm-up plan for all clients. As a trainer, you will find the warm-up exercises and methods that work best for each individual among your clients.


  • MOBILITY
    • Main problem groups and exercises
    • Shoulder (e.g. bridge, hang)
    • Hip (e.g. bridge, archer squat)
    • Back of the thigh (e.g. archer squat, bear walk stretched)
    • Importance of active mobility
    • Integration of mobility into training
  • WARM-UP
    • Targeted and specific warm-up
    • Consideration of joints and structures involved
    • Individual design of the warm-up
    • Use of playful forms and partner exercises
    • Problem areas: Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip

Calisthenics Special: Dynamic
Dynamic strength exercises are an effective way to strengthen muscles and improve endurance. These exercises are usually performed with weights to load and strengthen the muscles, but as calsthenics enthusiasts we know that your own body weight is enough.

This session of the Calisthenics Master Trainer course is packed with practice. Acrobatic and technical exercises are discussed and practiced. These include, for example, rolls, bar transfers and 360s, handstand push-ups and muscle-ups.

Acrobatic and swing elements are of course more for fun and the show effect, but what would sports training be without fun?

  • DYNAMIC SKILLS - STRENGTH-ORIENTED
    • Classics: muscle up, one-arm pull-up, handstand push-up
    • Preliminary exercises for statics (e.g. front raises)
    • Definition and differentiation of dynamics
    • Preliminary exercises and supplementary content
  • DYNAMIC SKILLS - ACROBATICS AND SWING ELEMENTS
    • Classics for advanced students: 360, 540
    • Classics for beginners: rolling, swinging with take-off
    • Benefits for strength and health
    • Injury risks and basic strength requirements
TAB
Calisthenics Special: Static
Statics are an important and challenging part of calisthenics. They include complex exercises in which the body is held in a tense position. The focus of these exercises is almost always strength. In this unit, training methods, preliminary exercises and the correct execution of various exercises are discussed and, of course, tried out in practice. These include the human flag, handstand, frontlever/backlever and planche. The human flag is not one of the first exercises that springs to mind when you think of calisthenics for nothing. You really need strength in every muscle for this exercise and it shows that training with your own body weight is everything, but not boring.

Calisthenics Training Plans
The subject "Training planning in calisthenics sport" deals with the development of effective training plans for calisthenics training. Calisthenics is a form of strength training that is performed using your own body weight and includes exercises such as pull-ups, press-ups, dips and various static holding exercises. In this subject, participants learn how to define training goals, structure training programs and plan progressions to improve the physical fitness, strength and flexibility of their students. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered, including how to adapt training plans to individual needs and progression levels. The aim is to enable aspiring coaches to create effective and safe calisthenics training programs that support holistic physical development.

Calisthenics Basic Exercises

Calisthenics is an effective training method that does not require any equipment. The training is based on body weight and your own strength. The training not only works the muscles, but also the so-called deep muscles. These are responsible for the stability of the body and are hardly used in conventional equipment training. Calisthenics is a form of strength training in which only your own body weight is used as resistance. Using your own body weight strength makes your muscles stronger and improves coordination. Calisthenics is suitable for all age groups and can be performed both indoors and outdoors. The exercises can be adapted to suit your own needs and abilities. As a Calisthenics Master Trainer, you can therefore work in a way that is absolutely appropriate for your target group. This unit deals with the classic basic exercises of bodyweight training, such as the pull-up, the push-up and the squat. The fact that these exercises are also part of the Fitnesstrainer training course underlines their importance in the training plan. In addition to the optimal technique in theory and the correct execution in practice, various learning and improvement methods are also discussed, as well as the methodical structure of the exercises.


  • BASIC EXERCISES - PULL-UP EXERCISES
    • Pull-up and variations
    • Rowing in variations
    • Pulling exercises on the rings (rowing, bicep curls, facepulls, reverse butterfly)
    • Advanced variations: Muscle up, one-arm pull-up
  • BASIC EXERCISES - PRESSING EXERCISES

Calisthenics: History and Guiding Principles
The idea of using ones body for strength exercises has existed since ancient times. Even in todays world, training with ones own body weight is a part of almost every training program, even if its just in the form of classic push-ups.

While the training for a certified fitness trainer also covers exercises with equipment, the Calisthenics Master Trainer course focuses on training with ones own body weight.

However, if you think back to the often boring and monotonous physical education classes in school, you are mistaken: training with ones own body weight offers a rich variety! While Basic Calisthenics focuses on muscle building without weights, the focus of Endurance Calisthenics is on endurance, and Freestyle Calisthenics impresses with versatile dynamic, acrobatic exercises.

In this unit, we will not only discuss the historical influences on modern Calisthenics, but also the different directions and the principles of competition evaluation.

Of course, we will also extensively cover the most important general principles to consider during training.

  • HISTORY AND PRINCIPLES
    • What is calisthenics?
    • Origins of the sport
    • Development and spread
  • DIRECTIONS IN CALISTHENICS
    • Basics ("Sets and Reps")
    • Weighted calisthenics
    • Endurance
    • Freestyle (Statics and Dynamics)
    • Extreme moves and movements
    • Balance and control
    • Mobility and health focus
    • Mixed forms
  • CALISTHENICS COMPETITIONS
    • Endurance
    • Weighted Competitions
    • Freestyle Battles
  • THREE IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES
    • Fun and motivation
    • Efficiency and meaningfulness
    • Specificity of the exercises
  • ANATOMY BASICS
    • Division of the muscle groups
    • Examples of muscular strain
  • COMMON TRAINING EQUIPMENT
    • parallel bars, high bar, rings, wall bars and more

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.

However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.

We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.

Can I take educational leave for the course?

Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.

If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.

Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.

How does educational leave work?

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:

  • Educational leave spread over 12 months
  • split educational leave, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
  • Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years

It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.

You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What is calisthenics?

Calisthenics is training with your own body weight. This is why it is also known as bodyweight training and street workout. Exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups and squats therefore also fall under calisthenics. However, the training method is actually known for the more advanced exercises, such as the human flag or front lever.

The advantage of calisthenics is that no equipment is required and instead the environment is incorporated into the training. For example, climbing frames in playgrounds are often used for advanced exercises.

What can I do later with the Calisthenics Master Trainer course?

Participants can use the training to optimize their own training or to establish themselves professionally.

As a calisthenics trainer, you can use the practical and theoretical knowledge you have acquired, such as training planning and competition rules, to prepare clients for bodyweight competitions.

Of course, you can also do the course as an extension to your personal trainer training and coach your clients with a focus on bodyweight training. The advantage of this is that you don't have to provide a lot of equipment for personal training and can still offer the client a full workout.

Where do calisthenics trainers work?

As a calisthenics trainer, you are very free in your choice of "workplace". When the weather is nice, you can train your clients outdoors and use and integrate playgrounds or nature as a training location. In winter, you can rent a gym or train at the customer's home.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from gyms on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
