Ever feel too busy to focus on yourself, your fitness, or your energy? That was Barbara just over a year ago. In just 12 months of calisthenics training, she completely transformed her strength, mobility, and confidence, showing that even a hectic schedule can fit serious results.

Meet Barbara: Busy Professional, Mother, and Calisthenics Achiever

Barbara is a working professional, managing director of a large wellness company, wife, and mother of two. With frequent travel and a packed schedule, finding time for herself seemed impossible.
Through our **calisthenics group personal training** at Famba Fitness, Barbara found a way to recharge, boost her energy, and show up fully at work and at home. Her journey proves it’s possible to balance life while achieving real results.

Starting from Scratch: From Basic Fitness to Confident Calisthenics

When she joined Famba Fitness, Barbara could do some push-ups and basic movements but she had never managed a pull-up. She had been active for years, attending gym classes and bootcamps, but found that the results were limited and inconsistent. She wanted a more targeted approach, focusing on building strength and improving mobility, and that’s exactly what she achieved over the year.

Motivated by a little friendly competition with her sister, Barbara set her primary goal: do her first pull-up.

Barbara trained 2 to 3 times per week in our group personal training lessons in Rembrandtpark Amsterdam West. On days she couldn’t attend, she followed her personalised program at home or while traveling.

After one year, Barbara mastered pull-ups, push-ups, and single-leg squats, and is now moving into intermediate calisthenics skills. Beyond strength, she gained mobility, energy, and confidence, improvements far beyond what she had achieved in her previous gym classes.

Flexible Calisthenics Training Program

The group lessons run Mondays & Wednesdays at 6 pm, Fridays at 8 am, and Saturdays at 9 am, Barbara attended the sessions that fit her schedule, while completing independent workouts on other days. Over the year, she completed four progressive training cycles, each designed to improve strength, mobility, and calisthenics skills.

Why Calisthenics Worked for Barbara

Barbara wanted something new, fun, and challenging. Calisthenics promised full-body strength, better mobility, and improved confidence.

Many beginners feel intimidated, but at Famba Fitness, our group personal training in Amsterdam West meets you where you are. Barbara started at her own level, followed her curiosity, and now confidently performs countless push-ups, pull-ups, and single-leg squats, all while maintaining energy for her busy life.

How Barbara Achieved Her Results

Barbara’s transformation came from:

Structured group lessons – Following her personalised program during the group lessons.
Personalised at-home program – Training independently when she couldn’t attend.
Four progressive cycles – Each cycle (12 weeks) improving strength, mobility, and skills.
Quarterly Assessments – to observe her calisthenics progress, discuss the journey and set new goals.
Coaching and tracking – Ensuring safe progression and steady results.

This combination gave Barbara a strong foundation and confidence to move toward intermediate calisthenics skills, while keeping energy for work and life.
