For starters, everyone is shirtless and shoeless (A chance to work on your tan as well as your six pack- why not?). As someone pumps out a techno playlist from a small portable speaker, a glasses wearing skateboarder type approaches the chin-up bars. He’s wearing a backwards skater hat and maroon colored jeans with some converse shoes. As he removes his baggy shirt, he also now looks like he just stepped off filming of the ‘300’ movie (the Spartan one, not the Greek one).   Apparently, he recently won a competition here and his routine over the next 45 minutes goes on to prove why. Recruiting a group of three friends, they begin to engage in their own version of “follow the leader”- only this game includes acrobatics, gymnastics, luck and freakishly impressive skill. There are no rules to this workout; no one to tell them to put the dumbbells away or to bring their towels or wear shoes. Over here, they are free to do what they want.   But is this for everyone? See our next post for our advice as to [who is best suited to calisthenics/bodyweight training](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/blog/?p=58). ### OneFitStop [View all posts](https://try.hapana.com/community/author/onefitstop) #### You may also like [spin instructor](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/spin-instructor), [spin studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/spin-studio), [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [Business Development](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/business-development), [hiring](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/hiring) [Hiring for Your Spin Studio: How to Hire to Retain and Inspire](https://try.hapana.com/community/hiring-spin-studio-hire-retain-inspire) [spin studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/spin-studio), [spin studio decor](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/spin-studio-decor), [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [Business Development](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/business-development), [spin studio design](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/spin-studio-design) [Location and Spin Studio Decor: Advice From Renowned Fitness Center Designer](https://try.hapana.com/community/pick-right-location-decor-spin-studio) [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [fitness community](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-community), [marketing](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/marketing) [The Complete Content Marketing Guide for Attracting New Fitness Class Signups](https://try.hapana.com/community/complete-content-marketing-guide-attracting-new-fitness-class-signups) [group fitness classes](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/group-fitness-classes), [fitness classes](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-classes), [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog) [How to Effectively Manage Group Fitness Classes at Your Fitness Studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/effectively-manage-group-fitness-classes-fitness-studio) ### CATEGORIES - [Fitness (70)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) - [Blog (56)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog) - [Health (49)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) - [Lifestyle (16)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/lifestyle) - [fitness studio (5)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-studio) ### Popular Articles [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [Biodynamic Workout: 3 Day Split Program Template](https://try.hapana.com/community/biodynamic-workout-3-day-split-program-template) [yoga studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/yoga-studio), [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [yoga instructors](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/yoga-instructors) [10 Tips on Hiring the Right Team for your Yoga Studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/10-tips-on-hiring-the-right-team-for-your-yoga-studio) [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [How to motivate yourself and others to exercise](https://try.hapana.com/community/motivate-others-exercise) [![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://try.hapana.com/community/check-5-hip-home-gyms) [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [Check It Out: 5 Hip Home Gyms](https://try.hapana.com/community/check-5-hip-home-gyms) [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [business marketing](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/business-marketing), [fitness studios](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-studios) [Business Marketing and Branding Tips for Pilates and Yoga Studios](https://try.hapana.com/community/business-marketing-and-branding-tips-for-pilates-and-yoga-studios) - Products - Tour - Solutions - Community - [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/blog) - Company - [Press](https://try.hapana.com/company/press) #### Contact - Support Center - ##### UNITED STATES +1 866-512-5157 ##### AUSTRALIA +61 2 8520 3901 ##### UNITED KINGDOM +44 20 3868 2888 - [ABOUT SSL CERTIFICATES](http://www.symantec.com/ssl-certificates) - [Privacy Policy](https://try.hapana.com/privacypolicy) - [Terms Of Use](https://try.hapana.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Sitemap](https://try.hapana.com/sitemap) - - - - - [OneFitStop](https://try.hapana.com/) 2017
