Class Description

Calisthenics

Obsessed with Calisthenics fundamentals, Jermaine is an expert in guiding his students through the foundations of the sport.  First you will learn how to create the necessary shapes and postures to perform movements like the pull up, the push up and the dip. Then, you will learn how to find a balance between push and pull, between tension and relaxation. All this will help you understand how your body can best move with strength and grace.

 

As you progress, Jermaine will encourage you to push through boundaries you never thought possible. In his more advanced classes you will learn to handstand, handstand push up, muscle up and squat.

 

Calisthenics can seem daunting to a lot of people but Jermaine has a knack for helping his students feel at ease with his warm and welcoming nature. His passion for the sport and his nurturing and empowering ways will help you break through barriers and never accept limits.

 

As Jermaine says, “we are all strong. It’s my job to help you find that strength.”
