About Us
Don't Get Big Get Strong...
Because it's so much more than gains and selfies
Cali-Fit was formerly named Raising The Bar Calisthenics when opening in August 2013 -2019 during which we were the first and for a while the only Calisthenics gym to open in Australia. Over the years our methods and procedures have greatly improved and expanded and the choice was made to rebrand to Cali-Fit to further highlight our number 1 priority, our un-intimidating and welcoming gym culture.
We aim to make calisthenics as simple as possible for beginners building your foundations and educating you as you progress. The overall goal is to take you to a level of strength you wouldn’t ever think is possible for yourself. This is a long road with ups and down and joy and frustrations which ultimately leads you to seeing yourself in a very different light or as we call it new levels of self worth.
This is the meaning behind “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Capabilities”. No one is born extraordinary, in fact extraordinary people are all built over time. You can’t buy your way to the level of strength we help people achieve, you can’t take shortcuts and it takes lots of time and consistency but at the end you’ll get to shake hands the person you could become

"The man that stands before you today is the opposite of the young man I was a decade ago. I was lost, scared, weak, miserable and did not see any point in seeing my life through. Training was the only aspect of my life that I enjoyed, the rest was seemingly unbearable. Over the years through my training I built a level of strength within myself that to me literally seemed impossible. The self-respect and confidence that came from this experience was completely new to me and I realised (by accident) the true potential I had all along. My vision is to help as many people as possible see their true potential even when they believe they have none"

The Benefits of Calisthenics
Build real strength
Don't Get Big Get Strong
Functional training isn't a buzz word to us. Calisthenics is the foundation of all functional movements and functional strength. We don't just use functional exercisers we live and breathe them. True functional strength means you will build strength and muscle naturally and still be able to pull-up, handstand, climb, run, jump, swing and vault

Zero Judgement
And no mirrors!
We pride ourselves on the friendly community we have built over the years. Cali-Fit is a safe place for people to focus on building themselves up without the presence of judgement and intimidation. If you are new you will see some our clients doing some incredible feats of strength but it's those very same people that will be the first to introduce themselves to you and share how you to can reach that same level
