Calisthenics Skills
Here is where the fun begins. Ever wanted to know what the human body is truly capable of? Then this is the perfect session for you. From muscle-ups, to Handstands, this class has them all.
Come along if you want to learn a new party trick or two, and if you want to rediscover the youth that we all need to keep as long as possible.
Why choose Calisthenics Skills?
Learn what your body can do
Although there are many aspects to Calisthenics, skills is one of the more fun and popular aspects. Whether it’s something as simple as a crow, or more complex like a handstand, learning a new skill can really help you to explore the true limitations of your body and make training a bit more fun. Trust us, you will always be surprised at what you can actually achieve.
Build unrivalled core strength
In truth, all of our sessions will help you build fantastic core strength, but skills in particular will challenge the abs like nothing you have ever tried. Think plank x1000 and you’re probably halfway there. Don’t worry though, we tailor everything to a person's level so it will feel challenging but doable.
Have fun and keep progressing
Again, we like to think that our sessions are fun across the board, but skills are just a natural progression after you have completed the beginners. It will continue to challenge you and you will continue to be proud of what you can do, whilst of course, being pushed by our friendly community and enjoying fitness for once.

I’ve been working out with Rick and Urban Calisthenics for a couple of years now and I can’t recommend him enough. Although I’ve been doing calisthenics for a while, Rick really upped the actual quality of my training and broke it down … More to the basics. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, my form is the best it’s ever been and I have been injury free (which is remarkable in your late 30s…).
He also keeps my training engaging and adjusts it to suit whatever latest hobby I am trying at the moment (snowboarding this time…!).
Thank you so much, Rick! ❤️ -
Been training here and with Rick since 2023 and this is where I first fell in love with calisthenics. I’ve gotten stronger & more confident in my calisthenics skills and mobility. Rick is a wonderful coach who really meets you where … More you’re at and focuses on long-term progression. The community has grown a lot since 2023, and everyone is kind, welcoming, super supportive, and are always there to push you to do your best. 100% recommend for everyone whether you’re a beginner or advanced!

Urban Calisthenics, led by Rick, is simply next-level. Rick is one of those unstoppable people- sometimes you think he’s a little crazy, but trust me, there’s a method in that madness. I’ve been training calisthenics here for about a year … More and a half. When I started, I was literally at zero. Now? I am training for my first comps, and I’ve reached a level I never imagined.
What makes Urban Calisthenics stand out is the insane knowledge behind every movement, Rick and his team knows exactly what to do, how to do it, and why it makes sense. Training here is never boring, always creative, and always adapted to your time, energy, and level, whether you’re a complete beginner or already advanced.
Urban Calisthenics isn't only a Calisthenics, it is a whole community.
So yeah, Urban Calisthenics might look a bit mad sometimes… but thanks to that “madness,” Urban Calisthenics is effective, fun, and honestly life-changing. -
Urban Calisthenics is fantastic for beginners. The community is really supportive and welcoming and the coaches are not only knowledgeable, they also push you just enough.
I did the 4 week beginners course, and I learnt more than I could … More have imagined. Whilst actually having fun, which I never thought was possible in a gym. -
Signed up for the beginner's course. I'm a runner but thought it would be good to add something different to my exercises... especially upper body...and quite fancy being able to do pull-ups😂 Even in a month I can see and feel … More the difference! Lovely coaches, really good fun atmosphere, very encouraging and easy to join in, new things each week, really good teaching. 😊

Having tried typical gym membership, weights, running and more recently Hyrox, I have struggled to find a fitness activity and community that is 'me'. Recently I decided to try calisthenics on the recommendation of a friend, as … More I was looking to build upper body strength and tone, as well as learning skills. I joined Rick and the team at Urban Calisthenics for a meet up, was made to feel completely welcome and had an absolute blast despite having no idea what I was doing. The community were so welcoming and everyone was willing to take the time to show me exercises to try.
Since then I have joined the beginners classes. Coach Ola is great and makes the classes fun, but they are also challenging meaning I can feel the progression. I have started to work towards learning hand stands, a skill I am really keen to master, as well as doing some ring skills and the coaches have been great at helping guide my development as well as trying to stop me running before I can walk.
All in all a great group, and community, and I'm looking forward to seeing how my skills develop in 2026! -
I didn’t know what calisthenics was but I’m a fan now! I’d been to gyms with PTs doing weights etc and thought I was doing well. Then I met Rick aka “pickle” and without knowing I was doing cali. For the first time I’m seeing great results … More - I’ve lost weight, strengthened my core, become stronger and improved my posture. The cool part is that anybody of any age and ability can do it. Thank you Pickles 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

My son has been attending the kids class for almost 2 months now and he absolutely loves it. He comes out every week feeling like he’s achieved something new whilst raving about how lovely his coaches are. Highly recommend!

My progress in training is very noticeable.Since I've been attending classes twic a week, highly suggest it to anyone that really wants to try personal progression.

I’m relatively new to Cali, but Urban Calisthenics UK honestly feels like home. The coaches and community are so welcoming, no competition, just support and great vibes. Classes are the perfect balance between fun and learning. All the … More coaches are insightful and knowledgeable, making sure you train safely and at your own level. Cali classes run 7 days a week, so you can always fit one in. For those who want to do more than the classes, Rick also offers custom programmes to level up at your own speed. The coaches are attentive and quick to step in if you’re performing an exercise incorrectly. They break it down so you can train safely and effectively. This place and the people are truly amazing, if you want to start your Cali journey, honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. Sign up and experience it for yourself!

The coaches at Urban Calisthenics are fantastic, setting challenging but realistic exercises, and always showing variations to suit all levels. As a beginner, I like seeing what I'm working towards, but being able to practice beginner … More friendly moves which I can develop as I become stronger. The groups are always supportive and welcoming.
