I am glad to have subscribed to Calixpert. It has already helped me make significant progress in just 4 weeks - the pull-up guide has turned one pull-up into 5 and my core stability is much better! The programmes are very well thought out and structured and are highly recommended for both beginners and advanced users. You also have the opportunity to get motivation from a very friendly community and exchange ideas. Malin and Daniel answer questions very quickly and offer very professional support. Once a week there is also the opportunity to have questions answered via video call.I can highly recommend Calixpert to anyone who is interested in calisthenics or simply wants a good balance to their daily work!

I've been following Malin on Instagram for a while now and came across her own program. I was struggling with a plateau in my progress so I decided to give her program a try and what can I say - I love it! It's so good to have a structured plan, explanatory videos and she responds so quickly. That's another thing I really appreciate: you can ask for advice and get help with individual problems and I asked for a student discount and guess what - Malin made it happen! In general, the price-performance ratio is incredible. The variety of programs is great, you can decide for yourself which level to choose (even within the programs there are lighter and heavier options) and there are special programs for handstand training, mobility, pull-ups, L-sit,...So all in all, Calixpert is for anyone who enjoys exercise, wants general and individualized help, wants a good price and wants to see progress:D

I’ve been part of this calisthenics community for 4 months now, and it’s been amazing! In this short time, I’ve learned my first pull-up, gone from 1 to 5 pull-ups, and I’m so close to mastering the L-sit. What I love about this program is how clear and simple everything is. The workouts are straightforward, with great video instructions, and they’re quick enough to fit into any schedule.The best part is how connected you feel to the coaches. They genuinely care about your progress, give solid feedback, and really engage with the community. It’s been such a positive experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger and learn new skills!

Calixpert is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to level up their fitness and strength!Before finding Malin and Daniel’s programs, I struggled to stay consistent in the gym and couldn’t find workouts that matched my abilities. Since starting their Female Calisthenics Beginner Course, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength and even lost weight—something that felt impossible before.I’m looking forward to tackling more advanced skills like the L-Sit and Pull-Up with their guidance. But what I love most is the supportive community they’ve built. They’re always ready to answer questions and give workout advice.

Calixpert and my first pull up ever!I joined Calixpert with the goal of doing my first pull up. I didn’t know how to start or what workout would be the most effective. The pull up guide in their platform is great, effective, and easy to navigate. I finally achieved my first pull up after a consistent 50 days!!!!

I truly have nothing but great things…I truly have nothing but great things to say about Calixpert! Malin and Daniel are fantastic coaches and inspiring athletes! They take the time to help everyone and respond as soon as they can. I also love that we can talk to other members of the community for feedback/support!The programs themselves are phenomenal and I am quickly seeing strength progressions into week 3 of my training! I am actually VERY amazed at how quickly the routines are helping me move forward, and adding the structure of these programs to my workout routines was definitely what was missing!Calisthenics has always been something I have wanted to challenge myself with and get better at. I have struggled with upper body work my entire life and love learning new abilities I know I'm capable of over time. I'm extremely happy I decided to join after discovering Malin on Facebook! The price is fair for what I am getting out of the programs overall, and I can't wait to continue becoming a better me!I highly recommend Calixpert!
