The term calisthenics comes from the Greek and means something like "beautiful strength". You could also call it street workout or simply body weight training. Whether its acrobatic moves, basic exercises or even exercises with the help of equipment, calisthenics can be used to train in a variety of ways.
Calisthenics training deliberately avoids training individual muscle groups. Machine training can also be avoided with this training concept, as they dictate the training movement. Squats, push-ups, pull-ups and lunges are typical exercises for bodyweight training. What all exercises have in common is that they train several large muscle groups at the same time. The advantage of calisthenic training is that it trains self-awareness and coordination and makes you more aware of your own body. You gain better body control, which in turn has a positive effect on everyday life, training and competition. Everyone has the best gym with them everywhere and at all times - their own body weight!
In the basic module, we will first deal with anatomical, physiological and training science basics. Nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge and first aid for sports injuries also play an important role in our training program.
In addition to optimal technique in theory and correct execution in practice, the Calisthenics Master Trainer module also covers various learning and improvement methods.
We show you preliminary exercises and the correct execution of statics such as the human flag, plank variations, handstands and dynamics such as muscle ups and rolls.
We also take a look at efficient training planning in calisthenics training as well as competition rules and principles of training.
Our certificates are valid worldwide and are issued in different versions. On request, you can receive our certificate in several languages (DE, EN, ES), with country-specific information and with or without printed grades.

More and more companies are integrating Corporate Wellness and similar health initiatives into their employee benefits packages. By doing so they promote the health and well-being of their employees, reducing the incidence of sick-leave and building healthier, stronger team dynamics.
Exactly why such initiatives are important is discussed in this introduction to the concept, as well as challenges that such initiatives face including organisational dysfunction.
Participants also learn about the advantages of corporate wellness and some trusted approaches and tools for finding and working with a company.
We offer suggestions on how to approach companies about Corporate Wellness, how to develop a corporate wellness concept and important organisational points to consider.
Participants will be exposed to some practical examples and will have the possiblity to perform group work on the topic.
The unit on Marketing and Customer Interaction gives participants some insight into identifying, working with and marketing to their ideal customer. This is one of the most useful units for the aspiring trainer, as it helps them identify their place in the market, which makes for a more successful career start.
We begin by taking a look at Marketing itself to understand exactly what it is and of what relevance it has for personal trainers.
Important basic concepts such as USP, positioning, target market, etc. are introduced and different models from marketing such as the SMART Formula, marketing mix (7Ps) and more are explained.
The communication between trainer and client is also addressed in this unit. Various aspects of communication theory and some guidelines for successful communication are covered.
Upon completion of this subject, participants are able to develop marketing strategies for their product and/or services, ready to position themselves in a market rich in variety and full of possibility!
A working understanding of human physiology and therefore the relationships between the various functions of the human body is crucial for anyone working in the exercise and fitness field. It is a requisite knowledge for the sufficient practice of their profession.
This course makes the relationships within the human organism graspable for everyone. Take a deep-dive into the human body and learn the functions of our organism for your new profession in fitness.
In this subject you will get a close look at energy metabolism needed for muscle activation, the circulatory system and the pulmonary system.
Any high quality education in fitness and exercise begins with the foundations of anatomy and physiology.
In this unit participants are prepared for successful communication with their clients on every level. In addition, we take a look at how the trainer or coach can go about dealing with their own goals and motives, which will in turn help them better understand their clients.
The right goal-setting and the proper approach to feedback are an important parts of this unit.
The way we manage stress as trainers and with our clients and a variety of learning strategies are explored so these skills can be integrated into your professional approach.
In this introduction to training theory we look at the foundations of training plan creation and management, including the principles of training, training methodology and factors that influence sports performance.
Because performance capacity, performance diagnostics, training and competition are so interrelated, they are covered together in this unit.
The second half of this unit Im zweiten Teil der Trainingslehre wird das Training als komplexer Handlungsprozess und im Zusammenhang mit Planung, Ausführung und Evaluation definiert und bewertet.
Ein wichtiger Teil der Trainingslehre ist nach wie vor die Trainingsplangestaltung, die mit Beispielen über die Möglichkeiten einer Trainingsplangestaltung praktisch vermittelt werden.
Um das Thema der Trainingswissenschaft zu vertiefen, laden wir regelmäßig internationale Top-Dozenten wie Univ. Prof. Dr. Paul Haber und Prof.em. Dr.phil. Dr.med. Dr. hc Jürgen Weineck zu uns in die Academy ein.
Unter anderem sind sie für die Bücher "Optimales Training" (Jürgen Weineck) und "Leistungsphysiologie" (Paul Haber) in der Trainingswissenschaft bekannt.
In theory, the importance and effects of warming up are discussed. In the subsequent practice, various exercises and methods for improving active mobility are covered, as well as different warm-up options for a training session, which are also tried out.
Warming up is an important part of every training program, whether you regularly go jogging, lift weights, or just want to stay fit. The main function of warming up is to optimally prepare the body for the upcoming exertion. Improved tissue circulation can help prevent injuries and increase performance.
But warming up also needs to be learned! Thats why proper warm-up and mobilization of the body is not only a topic in Calisthenics training, but also in our Fitness Trainer Certification.
First, you should warm up in general, and then specifically for the physical activity you want to perform. For example, you can start with light jogging or cycling, and then continue with stretching exercises for the muscle groups that will be most used. Dont forget to warm up your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hips.
Many people think that warming up is the same for everyone, but thats not true. There are various factors to consider, such as the type of training, intensity, ambient temperature, whether you are already warm or not, and much more. Warm-up should be individually tailored and not just a general warm-up plan for all clients. As a trainer, you will find the warm-up exercises and methods that work best for each individual among your clients.
The basic module Sports Competence is approved by the German Central Agency for Distance Learning (ZFU) under the following number: 7324018c. The ZFU is the central authority for distance learning in Germany and works on the basis of the Distance Learning Protection Act (FernUSG). It decides on the approval of distance learning courses nationwide in order to guarantee a technically correct and generally professional distance learning course.
As a recognized institution in adult education, our curricula are regularly evaluated and recognized by state institutions and funding bodies. We are constantly striving to exceed current quality standards in order to guarantee you the best possible training. Convince yourself of our certifications.
There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding body.
You can find an overview of the most important funding bodies here.
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
Calisthenics is training with your own body weight. This is why it is also known as bodyweight training and street workout. Exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups and squats therefore also fall under calisthenics. However, the training method is actually known for the more advanced exercises, such as the human flag or front lever.
The advantage of calisthenics is that no equipment is required and instead the environment is incorporated into the training. For example, climbing frames in playgrounds are often used for advanced exercises.
Participants can use the training to optimize their own training or to establish themselves professionally.
As a calisthenics trainer, you can use the practical and theoretical knowledge you have acquired, such as training planning and competition rules, to prepare clients for bodyweight competitions.
Of course, you can also do the course as an extension to your personal trainer training and coach your clients with a focus on bodyweight training. The advantage of this is that you dont have to provide a lot of equipment for personal training and can still offer the client a full workout.
As a calisthenics trainer, you are very free in your choice of "workplace". When the weather is nice, you can train your clients outdoors and use and integrate playgrounds or nature as a training location. In winter, you can rent a gym or train at the customers home.
We regularly list job advertisements from gyms on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.
If you have already completed an apprenticeship with us and you are interested in a further course, the Sports Competence module will be credited to you.
If you are studying at a university, we can sometimes credit individual subjects. For example, if you have completed training in the medical field, experience has shown that the subjects of anatomy and physiology can often be credited. If you have completed training with another provider of adult education (e.g. online trainer license, Vitalakademie, etc.), we will have to assess individually whether something can be credited.
