What you need to start

Honestly: almost nothing. Comfortable clothes, maybe a pair of gloves or chalk for grip on the bar – that's it. Pull-ups, dips, push-ups and leg work already cover a full-body plan. Beginners work with negative reps and resistance bands until the first clean pull-ups click.

Tip: Early morning or late evening, the popular bars are free. And training as a pair or group makes you far more likely to stick with it.

Solo gets tough: find your training crew

Calisthenics lives on community. Someone to show you the next skill, spot your muscle-up, or simply show up at the agreed time – that's the difference between "tried it once" and "real progress". Lyo matches you by sport, level and location with people in Munich, and its live check-in shows you who's training at a spot right now.
