Kind Words From Our Clients

Meet the Team

I feel blessed to have turned my passion into a business for the past 10 years. When I’m not teaching someone pull ups or handstands, I’m making YouTube videos to introduce more people to the excitement of calisthenics training.

It all starts with movement. The more I share this with others the more joy I feel. When I’m not teaching you’ll find me philosophizing about the beauty of life.

  • Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses your own body weight instead of machines or heavy weights. It focuses on natural human movements like push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats and l-sits, improving strength, mobility, and control. Learn more.

    At Famba Fitness, we teach progressive calisthenics, from absolute beginners to advanced individuals, aiming for skills like muscle-ups, handstands, front levers or planches. Register your interest today.

  • Absolutely. You don’t need to be strong or flexible to start. We design progressions for every level, so beginners learn the basics safely before advancing to harder exercises. Many of our members at Famba Fitness started without being able to do a single push-up. Register your interest today.

  • You’ll build functional strength, body control, lean muscle, and mobility. Most members notice physical transformation within weeks and increased confidence in movement. Long term, you’ll master skills like pull-ups, handstands, or muscle-ups depending on your goals. Register your interest today.

  • Yes, you can absolutely build muscle with calisthenics. Muscle growth happens when your muscles are challenged progressively, and bodyweight training does this through harder variations and increased volume. At Famba Fitness in Amsterdam, we use structured progressions, from push-ups to handstand push-ups, or from pull-ups to muscle-ups, to help you continuously gain strength and lean muscle. Register your interest today.

  • Yes! Calisthenics is for all ages. At Famba Fitness in Amsterdam, we design progressive programs that meet your strength, mobility, and fitness level, whether you’re 30, 40, or 50+. Starting later in life can actually be very rewarding: you’ll improve functional strength, joint health, and overall vitality. Many of our members started after 30 and have achieved impressive results safely. Register your interest today.

  • Beginners often think daily training is required. No. 2–3 sessions per week with proper progression is enough for steady improvement for beginners. Register your interest today.

  • Absolutely. Calisthenics is for everyone, men and women of all ages and fitness levels. It focuses on building strength, control, and mobility through bodyweight movements, which makes it safe and effective for women. At Famba Fitness in Amsterdam, many of our female members start with zero experience and quickly develop strength, confidence, and athletic ability through progressive training. You don’t need to be strong to start, you get strong by starting. Register your interest today.
