Bodyweight training
Bodyweight coaching offers the opportunity to train anytime and anywhere, without gym equipment. This coaching combines strength, mobility, and body control training by using only your own bodyweight.
Through the program, you will develop full-body strength and endurance while improving your mobility and preventing bodily tension. You’ll learn new skills such as push-ups, handstands, or more advanced bodyweight movements. Training programs are always tailored individually to your starting level and goals, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete.
Bodyweight coaching is suitable for anyone seeking freedom, challenge, and results in their training. It is also an excellent way to support other sports and maintain fitness in a busy everyday life.

What is Calisthenics?
Calisthenics, known in Finland as street workout, is a form of bodyweight training where one’s own bodyweight, balance, coordination, and leverage are used creatively and effectively. A simple movement like a push-up can be turned into a challenging advanced variation, allowing endless adjustment of training intensity.
The discipline not only provides an alternative way to build strength and muscle mass but also opens the door to impressive skills and moves such as the front lever, back lever, planche, and muscle-up.
Although calisthenics may at first seem overwhelmingly difficult, it is a sport that offers opportunities for practitioners of all levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, you can progress at your own pace and learn impressive movements. Don’t let the apparent difficulty fool you – seize the opportunity, try something new and refreshing, and discover your body’s true potential with bodyweight coaching!
Handstand
Handstand is the foundation of calisthenics. It develops body control, coordination, strength, and balance. Learning the handstand also helps eliminate the fear of being upside down, which is an important skill when practicing other movements.
How is the coaching carried out?
📌 At the beginning, we conduct the necessary assessments, including a general interview, range of motion testing, and defining clear goals.
📌 Training starts according to your skill level – from the very basics, such as wall-supported handstands, all the way to advanced moves like iguana holds or one-arm handstand drills.
📌 Progress is made step by step, and you’ll be introduced to a wide range of movements that help you develop the perfect handstand.
📌 Coaching can be provided, for example, with a training program supported by a few private sessions each week. If you feel you get enough support from either one-on-one coaching or just a training plan, that works perfectly too!
What does handstand enable?
✔️ Builds a strong foundation for harder skills such as the planche and press to handstand.
✔️ Improves balance, confidence, and body control.
✔️ Strengthens the shoulders and builds raw power.
✔️ Enhances mobility in the shoulders and wrists.
✔️ Develops straight-arm strength and endurance.
Coach, Sofia Rasela
Hi! I’m Sofia Rasela, a Street Workout & Calisthenics coach and licensed Personal Trainer. I actively compete in Street Workout & Calisthenics and received my education through the International Personal Trainer (IPT) Intensive PT program.
My background includes being a former competitive gymnast and cheerleader. With a total of 12 years of competitive experience, I have won, among other achievements, three World Championship bronze medals in cheerleading. Passion for sports and goal-oriented training have been with me since a young age, and these values also guide my work as a coach.
Learning new skills and teaching them is close to my heart. My favorite skills are handstands and standing backflips, and working with these gives me the most excitement! My expertise extends to acrobatics, balance movements, various strength techniques, and mobility training.
Strength training
In bodyweight training, strength training and body control come together. It’s an excellent option if you’re looking for a practice that supports strength and muscle training alongside another hobby. It’s also perfect if you want to improve your strength levels and enhance your body control in a versatile way.

Mobility
Mobility is a key part of calisthenics and everyday well-being. In recent years, mobility training has grown hugely in popularity – and for good reason! It not only improves physical performance but also develops discipline and self-confidence. Good mobility helps you achieve a healthy balance, reduces the risk of injury, and enables smoother movement.

Freestyle calisthenics takes bodyweight training to a new level on parallel bars and high bars, combining strength and technique. Training includes swings, 360 spins, dynamic tricks, and flips, making it both effective and visually impressive.
