I’m Neill.

I’ve trained calisthenics since 2009, after being inspired by the Ruff Ryders ‘Thug Workout’ DVD.

In founding days of the UK calisthenics scene, I was part of the small community, running one of the first dedicated YouTube channels in the country and helping shape the scene.

My experience in calisthenics goes beyond coaching. Over the years I have judged at competitions, for both the World Calisthenics Organisation and the World Street Workout and Calisthenics Federation, and I ran a calisthenics equipment company for over a decade.

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of experience teaching calisthenics and helping people learn movements that initially seem out of reach. One of my strengths as a coach is breaking complex skills down into simple, manageable steps, allowing you to build the strength, technique and confidence needed to progress.

I also use my experience to structure calisthenics programmes around your goals, abilities and available time, focusing on the exercises and progressions that will give you the best results.

I work with clients at every level - from those learning their very first pull up, to experienced athletes refining the form on their muscle up. However you train with me, the approach is built around you and your goals. For some that means a structured programme, carefully designed to move you forward step by step. For others, particularly when learning a specific skill, it means breaking the movement down and working through the progressions. For many, it's a combination of both.
