what to expect?

Here are 3 things you can expect after training with our method for 6 months.

The Enso Calisthenics method was developed to build strength, mobility and aesthetics simultaneously, as would gymnastics do, minus the risks associated with flips and the need for a gymnasium to train.

The primary focus of our training is strength. Our concept of strength includes both the ability to lift heavy and perform physical work for an extended time.

The secondary aim of our training is to build fully functional bodies that can move through wide ranges of motion and through all planes. Planes of motion are basically the directions in which your body moves.

As a natural result, our body sheds fat and builds muscle. This method can develop our physique in the most proportionate and harmonious way thanks to our working with every single muscle in every angle. This growth will only be limited by how much we eat and how much we train.

So what to expect after 6 months?

This obviously depends on where you start, but our programs are designed to make you train as much and as often as you need (not more) depending on your level. This means that if you follow our method diligently, you should be experiencing the same kind of changes no matter what your current level is.

The first big change you will experience is strength. You will feel deeper, “realer” strength in your daily life and if you try lifting weights again. This is due to the fact that for 6 months you will have trained not only your primary muscles but also the smaller muscles which are called stabilizers and are actually greater in number. Lifting weights and using machines seldom work these muscles and it becomes a big problem when you are faced with a real life situation or playing a sport. Real and functional strength comes from primary muscles and stabilizers working in unison.

We are confident that you will feel a great difference in what we call “real strength” after 6 months training with us, and that it will improve your daily life and performance in whatever sport you engage in, even weightlifting.

The second thing you can expect is a great improvement in mobility. You might first think of stretching when you hear the word mobility, and it is true that we always recommend and include relevant stretches in each session of our programs. However, the greatest mobility benefits will actually be found in our strength exercises. It is again thanks to our working in all planes of motion. Strength and flexibility are closely related and producing a strength effort in a certain angle increases flexibility in that angle. Since you will be performing repetitions in all angles and through the full range of motion, your overall flexibility will improve without you even giving much thought about it. This is what we call mobility and functional strength.

You can be sure to experience those changes in your everyday life if you have been training the Enso method for a few weeks, and it will be obvious to people around you as well if you have been training for a few months.

The third big change you will see is of course in the mirror. This might be the main reason you start training with us and you might be wondering why we seem to focus a lot on strength and performance. We strongly believe the best way to look the fittest you can ever look is to become the fittest you have ever been. The most straightforward and sure way to look good is to train to be good. As mentioned before, a big advantage of calisthenics and bodyweight training is that your body will naturally develop in a proportionate and harmonious way. You really don’t need to worry about which part you should train more than another as you would in traditional gym training. Just follow your program and see how your muscles grow or how toned you get. Remember your gender will determine how much muscle you grow and you don’t need to worry about getting too big if you are a female. If you are a male, be ready to see muscles you never knew existed.

One important thing to note here is that nutrition will play a huge role in your body composition. If you wish to lose weight and get lean, make sure you are in a calorie deficit (consume less than you burn), and if your goal is to gain muscle, eating more protein and being in a calorie surplus will be required (consume more than you burn). To help you with the exact amount of calories you should consume for your goal, we have a calorie calculator on our app and it is available on the free plan. This will calculate exactly how many calories you need with top accuracy.
