Melbourne Calisthenics

Melbourne Calisthenics is a North Melbourne training venue focused on street-workout calisthenics, using bodyweight exercise to build strength, flexibility, balance and control. The programme is designed for people interested in progressing through calisthenic movements, with step-by-step progressions intended to suit different experience levels.

The main base is MCHQ, a dedicated indoor training warehouse behind 12 Lothian Street, entered via Little Lothian. The website describes the environment as fun, safe and supportive, with daily group classes, private sessions and one-on-one personal training. Mobile training is also available around Melbourne Metro. The venue says it offers classes and private sessions seven days a week, with bookings for trial classes handled through the GloFox app.

For those who prefer to train independently or remotely, Melbourne Calisthenics has put considerable focus on online coaching. Options include individual programme design, ready-made programmes, a full coaching experience and an eight-week programme aimed at helping participants achieve their first pull-up. Training draws on movements and stretches associated with gymnastics, martial arts, bodybuilding, yoga and Pilates, while the wider approach emphasises regular practice and a balanced lifestyle.

It suits solo trainees at varying levels, whether they want structured coaching, a supportive class setting or a specific goal such as their first pull-up. The venue is accessible by tram and is a short walk from North Melbourne station, making it a practical option for people training in and around the inner city.
