Raymond k., ireland
"I'm like Romelu Lukaku on the field!"
"It's amazing how much stronger I felt after using the "Introduction to Calisthenics" program for just a few weeks. I play football and I just don't recognize myself anymore, I'm like Romelu Lukaku on the field! I'm now following "Bodyweight Conditioning" program and I keep progressing consistently. Just amazing!"
Dhamar r., Indonesia
"It took me a couple of months to do what I tried doing for 8 years"
"As a woman, I always thought I'd never be able to do "real" push-ups but it was still my goal. For 8 years, every coach told me I was too ambitious and I would probably never get there. But with this method, it only took me a couple of months to go from knee push-ups to whole sets of perfect push-ups with full range of motion! Thank you!"
franck c., france
"the difference is like night and day!"
"I started following Nico's method last year and after 2 months or so, everyone thought I was noticeably more muscular! After 5 months I could do sets of 5 one-arm push-ups, which seemed absolutely impossible before. I feel so much stronger now and can easily perform moves like pull-ups and L-sits on the floor. The difference is like night and day!"
Paul d., philippines
"I can fit in my old clothes again"
"I’ve been training with Nico (mostly online) for close to a year now, and I am getting positive results. Do I look like Shawn Mendes now? No, but I feel stronger—and I feel good! Sure I can talk about breathing better during cardio or doing more and correct push-ups, but I’m honestly just happy I can fit in my old clothes again. His training method—albeit online—is thorough and effective. He definitely knows his sh*t!"

Enso Calisthenics method
Enso
The philosophy behind our name
In Zen, an Enso is a circle that is hand-drawn to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.The Enso symbolizes strength, elegance, personal development, simplicity, mindfulness. It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics and is an expression of self through movement.
The circle may be open or closed. In our case, the circle is incomplete, allowing for movement and development towards mastery of our craft.
Although a Zen master can usually draw a better Enso than a beginner, this is of very little importance. Anyone can practice it regardless of their level, and what is important is self development.
Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses a variety of movements (often derived from gymnastics), to increase strength, flexibility, and improve posture, body composition and overall fitness.
The word calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words for beauty and strength.
The way we practice calisthenics in our community has a lot in common with the philosophy of the Enso.We train to develop our strength and overall fitness with minimal equipment, and pursue mastery of our bodies through movement. We strive for perfection and push ourselves to become stronger and fitter everyday, but always mindfully and intelligently.We trust and enjoy the process of going through each required step, in order to get long term results and benefits without ever hurting ourselves.
Calisthenics movements are also a way for us to express ourselves and get creative with our bodies, just like gymnasts and other performers.Masters can perform these movements more beautifully, but anyone can practice calisthenics regardless of their level. Just like with drawing the Enso, we are not concerned with one's level of mastery, but rather with self development and becoming better than yesterday.
When you train with us, you'll build your dream body, you'll enjoy long term health benefits, you'll finally be able to hold a handstand or whatever your goal may be, and you will love the process of training pain-free, location-free, and moving more and more freely.
frequently asked questions
i am a complete beginner, will i be able to follow your programs?
Enso Calisthenics is a progressive method that offers programs and tutorials for all levels. No matter your level, you will be able to find a program that suits you and your goals. If you have reduced mobility or a condition that makes it hard for you to work out or move, the program "Preparation" will help you gradually get in shape so you can slowly progress to harder workouts.
do i need to purchase equipment for these programs?
If you don't have access to a gym, you will probably need to purchase some equipment to perform all the programs in our app. However, the first few programs for beginners require very little and inexpensive equipment such as resistance bands, and a suspension training kit. As you progress further with us, a pull-up bar and dip bars will be helpful, but you can easily replace this kind of equipment with things you already have at home. Please check out our free ebook page for complete details and instructions.
do i need a gym membership?
No, you do not need a gym membership to train like us. The first few programs can be done very easily at home, and as you progress further in your training, you might prefer to purchase a few more pieces of equipment rather than joining a gym. It is totally possible to do all our programs and tutorials at home, even if you live in an apartment (as you will quickly realize when you watch our videos). Calisthenics equipment can also be found in many public parks, so you might not have to spend any extra money when you follow our more difficult programs.
