What is Calisthenics Training?
Calisthenics is a form of bodyweight training that is based on functional movements and exercises to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, and body control. In Calisthenics, no external weights are used; instead, the body's own weight is used as resistance. This training can be done anywhere as no special equipment is required. Typical exercises include push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, planks, and various body postures.
A Calisthenics trainer can play an important role in Calisthenics training by creating individual training plans tailored to the goals, abilities, and needs of the individual. They can also provide guidance on proper technique and form to avoid injuries and maximize the effectiveness of the exercises. Calisthenics training offers numerous benefits. It improves functional strength by forcing the body to activate muscle groups simultaneously to perform complex movements. It also promotes body control and coordination as many exercises require high coordination. Additionally, Calisthenics can help increase mobility and flexibility as many exercises require full range of motion of the joints.
What to expect in our training?
In the basic module, we will first cover the anatomical, physiological, and training science fundamentals in depth. In addition to nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge, and first aid measures for sports injuries, we place a strong emphasis on these fundamental aspects.
In the "Calisthenics Master Trainer" module, various learning and improvement methods are presented through instructional videos. We focus not only on optimal technique in theory but also on correct execution in practice. You will learn pre-exercises as well as the proper execution of statics such as the Human Flag and various plank variations, as well as dynamics such as the Muscle Up and rolls.
In addition, we will address efficient training planning in the field of Calisthenics training and examine competition rules as well as the basic principles of training. Our training offers you a comprehensive and practical education to prepare you optimally for your role as a Calisthenics trainer.

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?

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

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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Get the most out of your bodyweight training with our Calisthenics training
What is Calisthenics Training?
Calisthenics is a form of bodyweight training that is based on functional movements and exercises to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, and body control. In Calisthenics, no external weights are used; instead, the body's own weight is used as resistance. This training can be done anywhere as no special equipment is required. Typical exercises include push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, planks, and various body postures.
A Calisthenics trainer can play an important role in Calisthenics training by creating individual training plans tailored to the goals, abilities, and needs of the individual. They can also provide guidance on proper technique and form to avoid injuries and maximize the effectiveness of the exercises. Calisthenics training offers numerous benefits. It improves functional strength by forcing the body to activate muscle groups simultaneously to perform complex movements. It also promotes body control and coordination as many exercises require high coordination. Additionally, Calisthenics can help increase mobility and flexibility as many exercises require full range of motion of the joints.
What to expect in our training?
In the basic module, we will first cover the anatomical, physiological, and training science fundamentals in depth. In addition to nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge, and first aid measures for sports injuries, we place a strong emphasis on these fundamental aspects.
In the "Calisthenics Master Trainer" module, various learning and improvement methods are presented through instructional videos. We focus not only on optimal technique in theory but also on correct execution in practice. You will learn pre-exercises as well as the proper execution of statics such as the Human Flag and various plank variations, as well as dynamics such as the Muscle Up and rolls.

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.

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?

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.

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.
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.
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.

Where do calisthenics trainers work?
Calisthenics trainers enjoy remarkable flexibility when it comes to their workplace. They can offer their services in various locations depending on their clients' preferences and local conditions. Here are some possible workplaces for calisthenics trainers:
Outdoor training: In good weather, calisthenics trainers can train their clients outdoors. They can utilize public places such as parks, sports fields, or beach areas to create an appealing training experience. Playgrounds also offer a variety of structures that can be used for calisthenics exercises.
Indoor training: During the cold winter months or unfavorable weather conditions, calisthenics trainers can utilize indoor training facilities. These include fitness studios, sports centers, or private spaces that can be rented for group classes or individual training sessions.
Personal training at the client's location: Many calisthenics trainers also offer personal training where they go directly to the client's home or another agreed-upon location. This provides a customized and convenient option for clients who prefer to train in their own environment.
Venues and events: Calisthenics trainers also have the opportunity to participate in events or organize their own events to showcase their skills and attract new clients. These can include workshops, competitions, fairs, or corporate events where calisthenics is offered as an activity.
This flexibility allows trainers to adapt their business and develop unique training offerings that stand out from others.

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 :)
