The Lab

SEMI-PRIVATE COACHING · EVERYONE STARTS HERE

YOU’RE NOT HERE TO WORK OUT. YOU’RE HERE TO GET BETTER AT THE THING.

The Lab is where every BWB athlete starts.

Your thing might be your first pull up, your tenth, everything handstand, muscle up for days or whatever you’ve decided to become emotionally invested in.

We figure out what you need to improve, then coach you through the strength and skill progressions to get there.

If you get stuck, we pivot.

We will not ask you to “just keep practising.” You already did that. That’s why you’re here.

  • "Bodyweight Brigade has transformed my fitness journey. Thanks to Shimi's guidance, I'm continually getting stronger and have conquered my fear of handstands — now performing them with confidence."

    — Rene G. BWB Member

  • "This gym has been a real gift to me postpartum - tailored, empathetic training and advice, and a supportive community.”

    — Flo S.

  • “Most Calisthenics gyms run advanced classes by default and scale down to beginners. It’s pretty dehumanising. I don’t think I would’ve ever been able to try out other cali gyms if not for what I built here”

    — Cass L.

  • "I didn't know that grinding was a thing. Then I felt it and I wanted to cry. And I saw progress. Now I celebrate it."

    — Lison C.

  • "the strength gains, mobility, joy and fulfillment I have experienced in the calisthenics training with BWB doesn't compare to any other training I've done! "

    — Kat K.

  • "As a perimenopausal woman with a hectic life, BWB has become a necessary investment in my long term health".

    — Christine P.

  • “As a 43year old, ADHD, perimenopausal woman, I thought my fittest, strongest days were behind me but I am stronger than I have ever been!”

    — Cress B.

THE TRIAL

not sure where you fit?

JUST COME TRAIN WITH US FOR A WEEK.

Our 1 week trial is how every new BWB member starts.

You’ll train in The Lab, meet the coaches and spend a week finding out what we actually do before committing to anything.

You don’t need to know your level. You don’t need to be strong enough first.

That’s our problem.

Preston, VIC · Women only

stupid questions part #2.

  • No.

  • Also no.

    We are a bodyweight strength and calisthenics gym.

    We use strength training, skill work, mobility and handbalancing to develop whatever ridiculous physical thing you've decided you need to be able to do.

  • No. Although having joints that move is generally useful.

    You don’t need to have amazing mobility to start with.

    We’ll train that too.

  • That's fine.

    Start by getting starting.

    Sooner or later you'll see someone do something completely unnecessary and decide your life is now incomplete without it.

  • Yes.

    BWB is a women only training space.

    Men have many gyms. We checked.

Still have questions?

We'd expect that. We don't run a typical gym and the system takes a minute to understand properly. Send us a message and we'll answer everything.
