Joined VIP after plateauing on all my lifts and the results have been INSANE! Squat went from 100kg 1RM to 125kg for reps, pull-ups +25kg to +45kg for reps, and bench 86kg to 105kg. I even unlocked muscle-ups/front lever without training them, and HSPUs went from 3 to 7! I have crazy anxiety, so I was really hesitant to join, but I’m SO glad I did. Sam is friendly, responds fast, addresses my concerns, adjusts things to what works for me, and I’m still smashing PRs!

The courses are well made, easy to plug in to any workout goal you want once you understand the basics, and the community is very healthy and supportive.

I followed one workoutstructure for over a year because I thought that I knew how to progress and couldnt benifit from guidence like this. I finally made the right decision- joining this community. I instantly broke many beliefs: e.g. relized how stupid it was thinking my program shouldnt be change just because Im making (really slow but constant) progress. I never had so much enjoyment doing my workouts, probably also because of the progress (dip: 22.5kgx6 -> 31.25kgx6 in 3 weeks)

I’ve just joined calisthenics school but by the first call Samuel clearly knows his stuff. As a personal trainer myself he has taught me some stuff I don’t know which I can help my clients with. Couldn’t recommend anyone else on the weighted calisthenics scene good job bro ❤️

Joined Calisthenics School last month after learning from @wegetbetter on YouTube since Oct. Went from bodyweight dips/pull-ups to elite mechanics like double-motion pulls. Applying Samuel’s pressing cues gave me an 85kg bench 1RM in just 2 months—putting me on track to break my national record. Beyond numbers, he taught me periodisation, RPE, and accessory design so I can program with total confidence. Samuel turns athletes into scientists. Absolute gold standard!
