BAR TESTIMONIALS

“My values have changed. I am not afraid of losing youthful beauty anymore. New beauty emerges from what is put into freestyle training. I have confidence in my ability on the bar. That confidence is not subject to others' judgements. I am my own driving force in this & my toughest competitor. Barbara has also introduced me to a community of people that strive to feel great & achieve great feats of strength & athleticism through hard work & a healthy life. My practice is also the one thing that is there for me during the worst & best times. It focuses my mind. Quells my anxiety. Alleviates depression & insomnia. It is not a chore - It's playtime!” — Christina P.

“Calisthenics gave me life when I was at a low point personally. Faced with so many obstacles, it gave me the power to show the world there are no limitations - only in your mind. Once you conquer your mind, you can conquer anything. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?” —One Leg Beast

“I love the community aspect of being in a park motivating one another as well as the mental endurance calisthenics builds within you. It allows me to attack all aspects of my life with this same mindset.” — Gaven

“The bar game changed my life. I lost 87lbs in 18 months! Even though I transformed my body & life through bar calisthenics, my favorite part is still the community vibes! Tremendous energy, friendly motivation, superior inspiration, cool & unique people all working to better themselves...the Finding Barbara runs are the best community events in the NYC calisthenics game! Unlike anything else in fitness. It’s also an awesome way to introduce new athletes & individuals to the calisthenics community lifestyle.” - Karl

“Calisthenics has been an integral part of my journey. It has allowed me to take control of my life & meet incredible people. My flexibility, mobility & overall control have all changed in ways I couldn’t imagine. It has transformed my life for the better.” —B. Irons

“The calisthenics community has changed my life in many ways. It made me realize the many different levels of potential the body has & is willing to go through to obtain new goals. Another aspect was the great community, the brothers & sisters I’ve met on this journey that push each other to be better!” — Mr. Just Do It Klue

“ Calisthenics gives me a sense of achievement after a workout. It is the best form of exercise to build functional strength, body awareness, mobility, & develop an athletic build. Calisthenics can be measured based on rep progression & there is no other form of exercise that can do what Calisthenics will for you.” — Fitness Phenom

“There’s definitely been times hitting the bar has centered me & cleared my head. There’s something about being outdoors & experiencing your progress each week. Setting goals & accomplishing them is also impactful in a positive way. Whether it’s to set the pace for the day or to finish off a shitty day in a good way. The bar is not like weight training where you can start at a light weight, it’s just you lifting yourself, & it makes you a lot more appreciative of the progress.” — Roman

“I have a chronic lower back injury & was looking for a new bodyweight centric routine to avoid heavy weights. Vincent taught me all kinds of effective exercises that helped me protect my back while also strengthening my core. While the bar was a great new challenge, Vincent is the reason you come back. He wants to see his people grow, improve, & stay healthy. His dedication & professionalism shine through in every session. He has the knowledge to get you where you want to be.” — John M.

“Fitness has always been a part of my life but calisthenics saved my life . Working out outdoors in parks under the sun gives you so much more than a gym ever could . It clears your mind & builds your body in a very minimalistic manner. Best of all the bar doesn’t care what color, race, income level or walk of life you come from . The bar doesn’t discriminate . The bar is uniting . If community is what you’re looking for there is no better place than the bar community !” — Ace

“I first started calisthenics a year ago. I didn’t have any type of self confidence due to being out of shape. The first couple of months wasn’t easy. I could’ve easily quit. I’m happy I didn’t. I was only focused on gaining strength physically. I didn’t realize I was mentally training myself as well. Calisthenics taught me to never quit on myself. It is an outlet to any type of problem or stress life throws at me.” — Jordan

“The bar has changed my life in many ways. One way it did is my self confidence. I never really had much when I was younger. It gave me structure & discipline. It also taught me that nothing comes easy. The bar also helped me expand my social circle, showing me different ideas from people. Overall meeting people that have the same mindset. I truly thank my past self for starting calisthenics - now I have the confidence in myself to do the things many people won’t attempt. Putting in time & hard work to obtain my goals.” — Jean

“What I found in calisthenics was a sense of responsibility to my health. Getting up to work on the bars is a part of that owning up process. Going to the park & seeing others work on themselves gave me the motivation to take time out of my day to build a better version of myself.” — Prince
