About Gymnastics & Calisthenics Training
Why I Do This
I want you to move better, get stronger, and actually enjoy training. To me, gymnastics and calisthenics aren't just workouts - they're about play, challenge, and building control over your own body. I’m not here to push you till you crash, but to help you get strong for life.
What We Work On
- Handstand progression drills: We start with basic wrist and shoulder prep, then use the wall for building alignment and confidence. You’ll get lots of practice with balance drills - no shortcuts, just steady work. I took ages to learn my own freestanding handstand, so I get what it’s like to be a complete noob!
- Gymnastics rings training: Rings are my go-to for real upper body strength and stability. We’ll work up to skills like muscle ups and front levers, plus use the rings for flexibility stuff you probably never tried.
- Calisthenics mobility exercises: Beyond classic moves, we dig into bodyweight skills and stretches - dragon squats, planches, you name it. Always with progressive overload so you keep improving.
My Training Philosophy
Progress is messy. Some days, you’ll feel like a beast, other days, total flop. That’s normal. The trick is showing up, doing the drills, and not getting hung up on perfection. I’ve had my own injuries - tennis elbow, loads of aches - so I put huge focus on injury prevention for bodyweight athletes. We do prehab, perfect technique, and smart rehab if you ever get hurt.
How It Works
You can train 1:1 with me at Troop HQ, join small group classes, get remote coaching, or jump into one of my skill workshops. Whatever suits your pace and goals.

My Story
We didn’t just want another gym. Troop came from our own search for a place where training feels smart, not punishing. I found my way here after years of CrossFit, three wobbly years learning handstands, and a humbling 10K run. We built Troop HQ during the pandemic—now it’s our home, and every Trooper adds something real. We’re grateful for every rep, every stumble, every win together.
My Work
What we offer - Strength and mobility coaching, bodyweight strength training, handstand coaching, flexibility culture, and mobility workshops for all.
How we train - No fads or shortcuts. We build sustainable fitness—mix of strength and mobility, so you last long and feel good.
Flexibility, the real way - We don’t just stretch. We train flexibility with strength, so you own your movement and get strong in every range.
The process - Progress is messy. Good days, bad days—just keep showing up. No hacks, just steady work and discipline.
Our Troop community - We sweat together, do challenges, share the pain and the laughs. That’s what makes it worth it.
