Bars, Basics & Bodyweight: The Rise of UK Calisthenics
Description
In this episode of The TRX Podcast, I’m joined by Ben Lynch, coach, educator, and co-founder of UK Calisthenics — an organisation dedicated to making bodyweight training accessible, progressive, and powerful.
We dive into Ben’s personal journey into fitness and coaching, the inspiration behind UK Calisthenics, and how calisthenics builds more than just strength — it builds resilience, body awareness, and a stronger connection to movement.
Ben shares insights on the Level 1 UKCO course, why TRX Suspension Training is a natural fit within the calisthenics world, and how our education and competition partnerships are helping to shape the future of this growing sport.
Whether you’re new to calisthenics or a coach looking to expand your toolkit, this conversation will leave you inspired to move better, train smarter, and think differently about what it means to be strong.
