Real Answers: The Most Common Questions We Get Asked at CaliUnity
When it comes to starting (or re-starting) a fitness journey, we know you have questions. At CaliUnity, our whole mission is to make fitness feel accessible, welcoming and – dare we say it – enjoyable.
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked by people just like you. If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
“Am I too old to start?”
Absolutely not! Our members range from people in their twenties right through to those in their sixties and beyond. Calisthenics isn’t about being able to do handstands on day one – it’s about using your own bodyweight to build genuine, practical strength at any age. Many of our members tell us they’ve never felt stronger or more confident in their bodies, even if they hadn’t exercised in years. Progress is measured in how you feel and move, not what you look like.
“Do I have to be fit already?”
No. In fact, most of our members join because they’re not already fit – and don’t feel at home in regular gyms. You don’t need to be able to do a single push-up to get started. Our coaching team is trained to help absolute beginners and seasoned movers alike. Expect expert guidance, patient support and a focus on progress over perfection.
“What if I’ve tried gyms before and it didn’t stick?”
You’re not alone. 82% of big-box gym members rarely go, because those spaces can feel intimidating, confusing, and lonely. CaliUnity was created specifically for people who want something different – a space where your name is remembered, you’re greeted at the door, and the focus is on real-world strength that fits your life. Over 94% of our members come three times a week effortlessly, and say it’s the first routine that’s truly stuck.
“I don’t want to lift heavy weights or use scary machines – is this for me?”
100%. No confusing equipment, no weight room bravado, and absolutely no pressure. All our sessions are based on bodyweight training (calisthenics), focusing on mobility, strength, and skill in a way that’s low-impact and adaptable. Everything we do is designed to be scalable for any starting point.
“Will I be able to keep up?”
We meet you where you’re at, every session. Expect lots of encouragement, zero judgement, and a coaching team who genuinely care about your progress. Whether you want to focus on healthy ageing, functional strength, or just enjoy moving again, you’ll find your place here.
“What actually happens in a session?”
Sessions are friendly, expertly coached, and always varied. You’ll work on skills, strength, mobility, and sometimes a bit of play – think handstands, mobility flows, or learning your first chin-up. You’ll never feel lost or left behind, and there’s always support to make things easier or more challenging.
