Calisthenics is Ancient Greek meaning Beauty and Strength. The sport itself has been established since 2010. Freestyle Calisthenics is an extension from this and has become recognised as a sport in it’s own right. Bar Monkey is the Official Representative for Ireland in the World Street Workout Calisthenics Federation (WSWCF) and our Head Coach Jamie Geraghty is the first Athlete from Ireland to compete in the WSWCF World Cup Super Final, in Hong Kong November 2019.
Freestyle Calisthenics gives people the chance to express themselves through movement and learn new skills in a social environment. We as a club have made some of our best friends through the sport and been given the opportunity to meet new people and share a connection through sport that is unlike anything else. We love what we do in Calisthenics. It is not just a physically and visually appealing sport, it has huge benefits emotionally and we help everyone involved in our club holistically. We want to develop people physically, emotionally and cognitively and our programmes reflect this.
