## 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.

## Meet your expert

[The Troop Fit](https://mytribe.in/coach_stache)

### 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.
