How we teach calisthenics. Amsterdam.
Calisthenics is strength training using your own bodyweight, think pull-ups, dips, push-ups, handstands, muscle-ups and more.
At Famba Fitness, we use calisthenics to develop strength, muscle, mobility, flexibility and body control, with a focus on moving well and building skills progressively.
Based in Rembrandtpark, Amsterdam West, we train outdoors (and indoors) in one of Amsterdam’s most established calisthenics park, combining structured coaching, personalised programs with the freedom to move, train and progress together.
Choose The Way You Want To train
This isn’t a regular class, it’s small group training with a real personalised touch. Each person, follows there own program, during our fun group lessons.
You won’t just learn cool calisthenics moves, you’ll go through a personal transformation. As we guide you hands on, and you learn your body’s potential.

FAQ
-
Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses your bodyweight as resistance. Exercises such as pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats, handstands and muscle-ups can be progressed from beginner to advanced levels.
-
Famba Fitness trains outdoors at Rembrandtpark in Amsterdam West, one of Amsterdam's popular locations for calisthenics. We also offer indoor training options, giving you a place to train throughout the year.
-
Yes. Rembrandtpark has outdoor training equipment that makes it possible to practice movements such as pull-ups, dips, rows and other bodyweight exercises. Famba uses the park for coached outdoor calisthenics sessions.
-
Yes. Famba Fitness offers coached group personal training built around calisthenics, strength, mobility and movement. Sessions are held in Amsterdam West, with outdoor training at Rembrandtpark and indoor options.
-
No. Calisthenics can be adapted to almost any starting point. We use progressions and regressions to match your current ability and gradually build the strength and control needed for more advanced exercises.
-
Absolutely. Famba Fitness works with beginners as well as people who already have experience with calisthenics. You can start with foundational movements and progressively work toward goals such as your first pull-up, handstand or dip.
-
Calisthenics can help you build strength, muscle, mobility, flexibility, coordination and body control. Depending on your goals, you can work toward skills such as your first pull-up, handstand, muscle-up, front lever or other advanced movements.
-
Calisthenics and traditional strength training are different tools rather than one being universally better. Calisthenics is particularly useful for developing relative strength, body control and movement skills, while weights can provide additional ways to progressively load specific muscles and movements. Famba combines different training methods where they support your goals.
-
Not necessarily. Many calisthenics exercises use only your bodyweight, although equipment such as pull-up bars, parallel bars, resistance bands and weights can expand the exercises and progressions available to you. Famba uses the equipment available at our indoor and outdoor training locations.
-
You can start by joining a Famba group personal training session in Amsterdam. We'll assess your current level, understand your goals and use progressive training to help you build the strength, mobility and body control needed to reach them.
