Meet your coach - Emma!
Hi I'm Emma, and I love introducing calisthenics to people in a playful and low pressure style. This isn't about being perfect, it's about trying new things, having fun, and maybe even surprising yourself with things you never knew you could do!
Additional information
Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the class, and wait in the communal area by the picnic tables outside the gym room (down the stairs from the entrance and turn left).

Please bring with you:
- A water bottle
- Loose, breathable clothing (that you feel comfortable exercising in)
- Yourself - however you are able to show up that day :)
Many people choose to do calisthenics barefoot or in socks, but it is up to you whether you would prefer to keep your shoes on. If so, please wear trainers, or barefoot shoes.
Nervous?
Most people feel nervous when trying out a new class or fitness space. If you are feeling particularly nervous when you arrive, just let coach Emma know before the start of the class.
