Cali Move UG Reviews 218

A very well put together program with clear instructions on how to do the exercises.
I have been following the programs for about one year now (currently at level 3), and my strength, mobility and body composition is changing in ways i thought only possible with weight training.

I highly recommend these programs for beginners and people with experience in working out.

Great program! I love not having to plan or figure anything out. I just do the sessions! The best part of the program for me is that the variety of exercises and the change in required sets and reps leaves me tired, but never too sore to recover in time for the next workout. Finally, people are commenting on my change in body composition. I highly recommend the program.

I have completed 3 of CaliMove's programs (Mobility 1 & 2, and the Complete Calisthenics 5 levels). As a former professional athlete and current big man (193 cm, 112 kg), I appreciate their wholistic and professional programming. I was hesitant to continue weight lifting, and calisthenics was my solution. After completing the programs, I no longer have some of the physical ailments that I obtained from football (American). Thank you Cali Move.

I needed to improve significantly my health, and leave behind, any traces of a sedentary life style. I dedicated several weeks, to investigate. What type of exercises should I use. What path should I choose? There are so many. After weeks of searching, I found the best solution, that fitted with my personal and professional life, and CaliMove gave me that solution. But first, I had to earn it. Could it stick to a CaliMove course. I watched several vídeos, and used a routine of exercises, that they posted in their YouTube channel. After one month, I was strongly motivated, and decided to purchase the course. I bought the "Complete Calisthenics - Level 1-5 Bundle", and completed change my health for the better.
Kudos for the entire CaliMove team, for their excellent online training courses.
Thank you very much.

The program is great! It is structured, very clear instructions, different levels and really focuses on having strong foundations. The prices are also very affordable for high quality programs with life long access. I really appreciate that.

I really love it and I can workout from anywhere

I've been doing the programs (Complete Calisthenics 1-5, Body Transformation, Mobility & Mobility 2.0) for over 3 years now & I thoroughly enjoy them, they are as much a part of my daily routine as brushing my teeth.

Pros: Clear videos with good detail, well-structured workouts (both on an individual & whole program level) tailored to help you meet goals, lots of general knowledge about the body & how it works, includes important but not often talked about topics like injury prevention & proper rest/nutrition, some flexibility included, lifetime access, the instructors are learning & improving the courses as time goes on.

Cons: Some of the videos of exercises (especially on the less recently updated courses) rely a bit too much on you seeing the instructors do the exercises correctly & could use a bit more in-depth verbal instruction, pretty much requires you to learn the anatomical terms of motion & how to do them with your body (this is a net benefit, but it is something you have to do to get the most out of the programs), a lot of the exercises are possible with little to no dedicated equipment, but there are certain things that are hard requirements (something solid to hang from, grips or gloves, rings, dip bars), and certain things that make progressions & getting in the right rep range much, much easier (resistance band set, small or adjustable weights, variable-height plyo box). Basically think of the programs as part of the investment but not all the money you will be spending.

Fantastic structure to the programs, I bought the Complete Callisthenics level 1-5. Videos are excellent with high quality explanations, and very informative about the proper technique. I love the particular style of showing good technique, as well as bad technique and common mistakes. The workout frequency and suggested volume are really suited to me. Overall, Cali Move offer the best physical exercise programs online in my opinion. Their YouTube videos are literally the best, even surpassing some of my other favourites like Fitness FAQs and Athlean X. Keep doing what you are doing guys! You are like professors of Callisthenics and have learnt so much from you,!!

Thumbs up to Sven & El Eggs for this very progressive and balanced program. Starting level 2 after diluted level 1 due to many other sports preparations such as marathon. During the preparation I stuck to the basic exercices and used 2-3 days spacing instead of 1-2 for recovery while training 3-4 days running. Cali program stabilized my knees, strengthened my legs and allowed me to balance upper body strength.
However, the total training time of the program sessions can be high (up to 1h20) and difficult to fit in an already dense préparation. More advice on what to reduce/adapt or how to organize with other types of training would be a much appreciated bonus on an already great job. Thanks

I started with their "Home workout" and "mobility" programs it was really good. It got me hooked on that training method wich is calisthenics. After that i moved on to Complete calisthenics and mobility 2.0. After completing the beginner and intermediate program i jumped to the "Body transformation" Program to build some more muscle before continuing the Complete Calisthenics journey. All of their programs are structered in the most profesional way. You are in good hands here and results are clear. Their customer service are super fast and effective. I cannot recommend their programs enough. There is something for everyone here.

The explanations are awesome and the training has helped me to make progress. No or very little equipment is needed. Now I can do deep dips and pull ups and I'm not even finished with the beginner program!

Despite injury mid-way level 4 I loved the program.

I purchased the bundles of the program: levels 1-5
and mobility + mobility 2.0 (after my injury).

Had previous experience in calisthenics, but the early years didn't follow a structured program and couldn't progress, eventually got injuried quite seriously and had to stop. In my first year with CM I improved a lot from level 2 to half-4 in 1 year and half.

I reached level 4, previous injury came up by the sequence of exercises involving HS and skin the cat holds a bit too heavy without proper wrist conditioning. Bought mobility and now working in rehab.

Had to stop for a while, now started again working on a more personalized program to target my weaknesses (including more mobility). I still rate this material 5 star as it helped me learning what a good programming is like. This allowed me to walk independently in the calisthenics world.

I will definitely attempt to finish level 4 and go on with level 5.

Something that could improved is the delivery of the course, sometime teachable is annoyingly slow. I also would love a true community page where I could connect with other people training with CM programs, sometimes is really helpful to keep motivation up.

I used the Home Workout program when training for a Spartan obstacle course race, and I follow the program two days a week now that I am training for a 50km trail running race. I find I get fewer running injuries when I do calisthenics strength training. I enjoy the program but would love it if they developed a course more tailored to endurance athletes.

I used a pretty basic workout app before. While I had enough drive to continue with it, I never felt that I was doing the exercises right (their instructions were text based and short). Switching to Cali Move really helped me maximise my workout with the clear video explanations. I like that it's pragmatic and allows you to start working out without equipment. The visualisations of each exercise are easy to pick up and mobile friendly (can see all info on one screen).

My only niggle is the actual e-learning app they're using. I'd love to quickly re-watch instruction videos on the actual exercise day views, but the app forces me to skip back and forth in a more linear fashion.

I was looking for a structured and incrementing workout structure to be able to improve steadily. The courses give me just that. They are easy to understand with good explanations for each exercise (also how to make it more or less difficult according to you needs) and everything is accompanied by videos. It really got me and my family hooked.

Also I had contacted customer service in two occasions regarding specific questions and each time I received great service.

I have finished the Complete Calisthenics Program Levels 1-5 and Body Transformation Pro. I am currently working through Body Transformation Elite and the Mobility Program. I have really enjoyed all of the programs and feel that I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. I have only had one injury (golfers elbow) during all of the training which is good. I have recommended your programs and media content to anyone who exercises. I would be interested in a calisthenics skills program that develops all of the standard calisthenics skills in an organized and progressive manner. I look forward to your YouTube content and keep up the great work!

This is a fantastic program if followed with consistency. I have the level 1-5 calisthenics bundle and I am 75% through level 4 now. At this point, you can do some impressive stuff like typewriter pull ups, handstand push ups, and skin the cat, and you have serious strength overall. People routinely mention how developed my muscles are. I am over 50 years old and this has taken 18 months, which is not a long time in my opinion. I also have added the Mobility program, which has improved my quality of life a lot.

I've been using the Cali Move programs for years and not only do I really enjoy them, but I also believe that Sven and Alex really know what they're talking about.

I heard about Cali Move in 2020 (during the Covid pandemic) from an athlete on YouTube who recommended their Home Workout program. I was just about to start a fitness routine after many years of laziness, and it worked really well with the follow along videos and great instructions. It was hard at first, but the programs explain everything you need to know and also how to adapt each exercise to your current level. You can work out at home, outdoors, anywhere. There is equipment needed for some exercises, but in principle you can do most of the exercises with things you have at home (chairs, table, etc.).

Since then, I have purchased other programs, including the nutrition program for the Home Workout program and their Complete Calisthenics course with 5 levels. Most importantly, I've also purchased the Mobility Workout, which has helped me overcome back pain and other medical issues from prolonged sitting.

Overall, I can highly recommend all the Cali Move programs if you are focused on improving your fitness and health with a science-based approach! If you want to get a sneak peek at their programs, you can check out their YouTube channel, where they share useful tips and exercises that are also part of their paid programs.

I am a 30 year old vet with 5 hemorrhaged discs in my back. I have had lower back pain for the last 10 years. I used to lift weights but now it’s very hard to without hurting myself. I couldn’t stand not doing something for my body. I gained about 50lbs. And my body was hurting I wasn’t able to do anything without my back hurting and that including just putting pants or socks on. I bought the mobility and Complete Calisthenics. And I haven’t felt like the way I do since i was about 19 years old. I feel amazing, I have my flexibility back, some of my strength back I am still on the 1st phase about 70% done. This is the best program I have bought for someone like me. Completely starting from scratch. At first I thought it was useless. And then I wanted to see if I could do an L-sit and I had no problem doing that at all and holding it for about a minute. I am down 30 pounds. And only have 20 more to go. So I highly recommend this program especially if you want things to be explained to you in full detail to include scientific explanations. Thank you so much to giving me my life back!

I have mobility 1 & 2, Complete callisthenics 1-5 and Body transformation 2.

Really nice to have a schedule to follow, all planning taken care of, as well as the excellent exercise explanation videos.

I am not progressing as fast as the programs but I am definitely seeing results.

For mobility I like to do the beginning exercises for just 10 minutes in the morning rather than stick to the schedule because it progresses very fast imo and when it’s just 10 minutes it’s easy to find the time.
I have redone the complete calisthenics level 2 & 3 three times and still not ready to go to level 4. I did not look forward to redo it yet again so to change it up I just started the body transformation level 2 instead, will see how it goes.

The only things I’m missing is the option to reset a level when redoing it, and the google spreadsheet provided in Complete Calisthenics to also be provided in Body transformation

Also their YouTube channel is really educational.

I opted for the body transformation bundle + diet bundle. So far almost a year in - although i had to pause twice already so much behind schedule but hey!
Super easy to follow and on my opinion very professionally done.

I had to get in touch several times for different matters - every time their customer support gets back to me quickly with an advice - excellent value for the money!
