Caliclub Groningen - Where Fitness Meets Community and Fun!
Feeling stuck in your daily routine? Craving a lifestyle that blends health, fitness, and fun? Or maybe you're simply looking to meet new people and join a welcoming community that lifts each other up? If any of this sounds like you, let me introduce you to Caliclub Groningen.
Caliclub isn’t your typical gym. In fact, it’s the only bodyweight gym in the North where effort meets enjoyment, and where fitness goes beyond the usual bodybuilding routines or flashy calisthenics moves you see on Instagram.
Wait, What’s Calisthenics?
Great question! Calisthenics is a form of exercise that relies on your body weight instead of machines or heavy equipment. Think push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and planks, simple movements that date back to Ancient Greece and are still popular today. The beauty of calisthenics is that anyone can do it, regardless of fitness level. No fancy gear, no intimidating machines, just you and your body!
The Heart of Caliclub
Caliclub started as a dream of its owner, who wanted to create a space where they could do what they love, share their knowledge, and build a community. It’s not just about getting stronger or fitter, it’s about growing together in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Here, everyone is treated as an equal, no matter their background or fitness history. You’ll discover you’re capable of more than you ever thought possible, and with the right people cheering you on, those self-imposed limits you’ve set? They start to disappear.
My Caliclub Journey
I joined Caliclub in 2021, after my husband (who had already been a member for a year) wouldn’t stop raving about it. As someone who spent years as a professional swimmer, I missed that sense of belonging to a team, a small family where we worked towards a common goal, not to compete, but to support our health and have fun.
For a while, I bounced from sport to sport, hoping to find that feeling again. I’ll admit, I was hesitant about Caliclub at first. I had no experience with calisthenics and worried I wouldn’t fit in. But from the moment I walked in, I realized how wrong I was.
From the owners to the coaches and members, everyone, young, old, experienced, or newbie, made me feel at home. We all come from different walks of life, but somehow, it just works.
Pushing Past Limits
Caliclub quickly became more than just a gym for me. It became my refuge, the place I’d go when I was feeling down, where I made new friends who shared the same passion for movement and growth. Most importantly, it’s where I discovered my own strength, both physically and mentally.
Want to know what my first goal was? Haha, I’ll tell you anyway! It was to learn how to do a proper handstand. Sounds simple, right? But my biggest fear? Falling backwards and, well… breaking myself in half!
But with the support of the Caliclub community, I didn’t just manage to do the handstand, I achieved so much more. And along the way, my confidence soared.
Ready to Join?
So, if you’re ready to challenge yourself, have fun, and meet amazing people who’ll support you every step of the way, come check out Caliclub Groningen. Who knows? You might just find yourself pushing past limits you didn’t know you had.
Maybe I’ll see you there! 😊
