“Cali has been a big part of my life for the last year, more than I could have imagined. I found Cali after being told I needed to stop doing high impact exercise because of a dodgy knee. I spoke to Ollie and he reassured me that Cali was the perfect alternative… he wasn’t wrong. Within the first month, I felt stronger and more motivated than ever before and my knee pain had gone. Plus, i was in the best shape ever.

I trained twice a week for 4 months and even in the dark depths of winter, I bounced out of bed because I just loved being part of the community. Then, in early 2023, I found out I was pregnant and thought I’d have to stop - I was gutted. But thanks to the knowledgeable trainers, I found the confidence to continue to train until the end of my second trimester when I decided handstands were a bit too much. But, while I wasn’t physically at the gym for the last three months of pregnancy, I still felt part of the community, with regular checkins from the trainers, and some of the fab people i’d met through the gym.

Now, three months postpartum, I am back and I’m truly amazed how much strength Ive retained. I’m already back doing handstands, rope climbs and loads more. In my view, Cali isn’t just a gym, it’s a great big family and a fun, supportive community who’ve guided me through injury and pregnancy… what’s not to love!”

“CaliUnity is unbelievably good fun. The trainers are incredibly enthusiastic and love to push us and build our confidence consistently.

I started Cali with a double rotator cuff tear and three months later I have no pain at all and am stronger than I have ever been! All whilst having tons of fun!

Cali will stretch you further than you think you can go and you'll come away having had a laugh, learned something new, being so much stronger and meeting fab new people.

Both myself and my husband go every week and so does our 17 year old son. There’s really something there for everyone and you’ll never look at a kids jungle gym in quite the same way again!”

“I joined CaliUnity about 6 months ago and I love it! Apart from the fact that Kiera & Ollie are the most positive, supportive and encouraging people, they managed to create a community that is filled with amazing, fun, body positive clients and their classes are lead by some of the best PT's in Bath.

I not only gained 2kg of muscle mass by 'only' training twice a week but I also feel stronger, healthier and happier. I feel part of this incredible community, their journey and I unlocked new skills like handstands and skin the cat I did not even think was possible....being 45 and not a Gymnast...Calisthenics sounded so out of reach and crazy but now I'm truly hooked! If you haven't tried it yet...go for it! You are never too old or too 'unfit'.

Come and join us here at CaliUnity!”

“I’m super pleased with my progress at Cali. It’s one of the best things about my week.

I’ve got every thing I hoped for in six months- I feel way stronger ( in fact, I feel STRONG!), I can set my own level in classes and manage my progression, and I feel lean and have lost 3 or 4 pounds. I think this is a genuine achievement because I started from a point where I was pretty strong and with a good BMI, so there haven’t been ‘easy wins’- it’s been effort but it’s been fun. I continue to love the classes and it’s a boost to see and feel that I’m different.

I’ve made some changes to the way I eat- and reduced my drinking for entertainment. These are big: I’m 50 so I have 30 years of habit to shift. I’ve got visible muscle tone and I’ve dropped a dress size. Yup! Cali is super friendly, ethical and fun. Love it.”

“CaliUnity delivers what other gyms only promise. The coaches have the power to help you and it’s a place to be energised & inspired. I’ve been going since it opened, and it’s made me stronger, fitter & helped me push my limits. This gym is a progress booster! I’ve done both classes, and personal training. Both are excellent. They completely embody the ethos of CaliUnity.

Goals aren’t just a question that gets asked at an induction, they form the foundation of the training. The exercises aren’t taken from a generic list of boring combinations, they are especially chosen for your personal fitness mission to give you the best possible chance of success.

There is more fun, less frustration. There is more progress, less stagnation. There is more discovery, and no dead-ends. My journey has included a million ways to do a press-up, exercising my abs like Bruce Lee and pulling myself up on the bar! They helped me discover that I could go upside down on the rings, and also do real handstands. They are the best companions and keep your morale high with encouragement. They celebrate when you win. I can’t recommend this place more.”

“Five months with CaliUnity and the experience is hard-hitting. Calisthenics can be tough and terrifying for beginners, but is actually the most rewarding exercise method out there.

CaliUnity is a CHEAT CODE for busy people committed to transforming their fitness. Shoutout to founder & coach Ollie for being my biggest influence. Shoutout to coaches Kiera, Guy, Paul, Jay - knowledgeable and awesome.

The community is friendly, full of ambitious locals eager to level up in fitness. My transformation journey still has miles to go, and I'm so grateful to have a resource as invaluable as CaliUnity.”

“As a guy in his early 20’s struggling with an autoimmune condition that caused severe back pain, I had encountered many obstacles in my fitness journey. The moment I came to CaliUnity in 2022 and met Kiera & Ollie, their genuine kindness and desire to help me became evident. They went above and beyond by checking in and took the time to thoroughly research my condition and find exercises and modifications that would allow me to workout without pain.

Today, not only have I gained significant strength & fitness, but I have also accomplished feats I once believed were beyond my reach. Handstands, muscle ups, L-sits, and countless other skills are the norm now! Words cannot describe my gratitude for the support and guidance.

They’ve inspired me to embrace Cali as a lifelong pursuit, & I’ve found a fitness community that truly cares about my growth & success. It’s been life-changing, taking me from a place of fear to a state of confidence.

“I injured my knee back in 2017 and, although it did heal, it never got completely better.

I finally got absolutely fed up with it hurting every time I walked up stairs (which is a lot) and decided to try out CaliUnity. After just 6 weeks of CaliUnity, I went on holiday and did lots of walking in the Peaks; the knee didn't hurt despite all the steps and I felt a lot less anxious about slipping in the mud.

In addition, I can feel that I am getting stronger each week. I am active, but not super sporty but find the training works for me.

My body feels less middleaged and more like it did when I was lugging small children around!”

“The best gym membership I’ve ever had by an absolute mile - nothing comes close to it, amazing training for all levels, the trainers are first class, the classes are varied and very well structured and it’s wonderful to be part of such a great community.

Feel very supported all the way and the knowledge/experience of Ollie, Kiera and all the trainers is immense. Highly recommend it!”

“Came to these guys later on in 2022 and as someone who’s avoided gyms their whole life I have to say this is the first "gym" environment that I have enjoyed.

Everyone is friendly, supportive and encouraging. It never feels like a gym, but rather exercising in a creative way and the results do really show in terms of strength and endurance. My size hasn't changed much, but the skills I have gained, such as pull ups, rope climbing etc.. is really incredible as I've always lacked upper body strength.

The coaches are credit to the whole place and make it the space that it is.”

“I have been with CaliUnity for 18 months now and still loving it.

Started off online with mentored coaching and have now moved to face to face in their new gym.

Progression has been insane and, most importantly, I have remained injury free.

Don’t be fooled by their laid back demeanour… they both have a wealth of knowledge and attention to detail that ensures correct technique.

All sessions are tailored for the individual and no matter what your starting point they will keep pushing until you have achieved your goal and more.

Definitely recommend.”

“Joining CaliUnity has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From having no upper body strength and feeling useless at most exercises I can see a notable difference in my strength and abilities.

The classes are always varied, good fun, and full of encouragement from other members and coaches. I’ve still got a lot to learn but the patience and support of the coaches is incredible, and makes it all feel possible.

Couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“I've been coming to CaliUnity since Feb' 23. I love everything about it.

There is an app to easily book the sessions you want to do. Various sessions throughout the day. The coaches are super friendly and helpful, and will give you stages to learn a new skill so even if you have never done it before, you can see clear progression to achieving it. Really enjoyable sessions and great community feel.

Would highly recommend.”

“It doesn't seem appropriate to call CaliUnity a gym because it provides a completely different experience.

With a focus on learning new skills, strength, fitness and flexibility develop naturally, while staged progression allows all abilities to train, learn and develop together. As a result the whole experience is at once fun, supportive and challenging.

For me it really has been transformative.

I've learned so much in 9 months and made good progress but this is a continuous learning experience and addictive.

It has very quickly become a core part of my life.”

“Best decision I ever made joining the CaliUnity Gym, it’s amazing!

The team are so welcoming, highly professional, and make exercise fun, inclusive and accessible for all. I have massively improved my strength and fitness and don’t feel overwhelmed being in classes with people seemingly fitter than me because all the exercises have progressions that cater to your abilities and your goals, and everyone is encouraging.

They also have a great social atmosphere and organise fun events for everyone to enjoy.”

“CaliUnity is the best gym I’ve ever been to.

The coaches have completely changed my outlook and attitude towards exercise, fitness and nutrition and I am fitter and stronger than ever for it.

I’m always excited for the next class and it’s lovely to be part of the Cali community.”

“Best gym I have ever been to. Very supportive staff and the founders are really awesome.

Doing 3x sessions a week and I have had a huge transformation - much more muscle mass and dropped from 22 to 14% body fat in a few months.

Can't wait to see what I can do with a couple more years of training! :)”

“Have loved being a member at CaliUnity for the last few months - wanted to try calisthenics for years and so glad I did. Have learnt new skills, improved my fitness and feels so much more enjoyable doing it than being at a standard gym.

The team are all excellent, so helpful and such great trainers. The community feel is genuine too, not just a name!”

“Every session is different and fun. The coaches are all experts, encouraging and engaging. Have felt welcomed by the community and have loved every second of training and socialising with the group.

Having started with no prior experience, progress has been steady and evident. Thoroughly recommend CaliUnity!”

“Absolutely thrilled with the CaliUnity experience!

The instructors and fellow participants are an incredibly supportive and friendly bunch. Their positivity creates such a welcoming atmosphere, and they're always there for you every step of the way.

In just two months, I've witnessed a remarkable transformation in my body, and I've never felt better about myself.

Highly recommend this class for not just the physical gains but also the fantastic community they've built. Five stars all the way!”

“I train a little just to keep my body moving at the age of 62. Was bored of my usual routine and found CaliUnity while out walking. Only 15 sessions in - I feel so excited and welcomed.

Welcomed by professional trainers who care and explain well. Excited because the exercise are very different and challenging - using only ones body weight.

The environment is friendly and we all work towards our own ability. No pressure - but I want to be stronger like all the others… small steps. Thank you Kiera & Ollie”

“I love training at CaliUnity, the coaches there know so much and I’m proud of how much I’ve progressed since joining.

They make training genuinely fun and enjoyable, they care about making sure the class works for you and they make you feel great about every win, even the small ones.

I’m noticeably stronger and have gone from doing a few pull ups, to doing a muscle up. Plus every single member I’ve met there is absolutely lovely :)”

“Such a warm and inviting community, fantastic motivating teachers and above all, such a great way to reach fitness. Suits all levels.

The workouts are more like play, you don't notice how hard you push yourself until you see the benefits...and it doesn't take long! In a few months I'm the strongest I've ever been. Cali is incredible.”

“I joined Caliunity in October 22 and I have enjoyed the classes greatly, learned new movements/skills and definitely gotten stronger 💪

CaliUnity is a great team, passionate, helpful and fun. Strongly recommend calisthenics to build strength & fitness.”

“Caliunity is so much more than just a fitness place.

Being part of an inclusive community and working out together in a wholesome environment is what is so special about Caliunity.

I've met amazing, supportive people and improved my fitness, strength and flexibility while having fun!!! Self care and nutrition plans are also an important part. On top of that social events are organised with the members to strengthen the community vibes!!

Can only recommend joining!!”

“I’ve always struggled with just simply ‘going to the gym’ I wasn’t sure what to expect from joining Cali, but the structure and different approach to building strength has been perfect!

Feel so much stronger and more confident, the feel good vibes are 10/10.”

“Its such an awesome place, I love learning new skills and seeing my progress.

The trainers and the members are all fab people…it’s such an inclusive and encouraging environment.

There’s a great energy and Ollie and Kiera are genuinely lovely people that have started something that I’m so glad I found and get to be a part of. I’m doing gymnastic style moves that I never imagined I’d be able to do! Love it!”

“I did a personal program for about 9 months and loved every second of it. In the beginning, the coaches made sure to teach me the right technique and all of the regressions & progressions.

When I first started I couldn’t even do one pull up or push up and I can now consistently do one pull up and sets of 10 push ups! It’s unbelievable the amount of strength I’ve gained in the past 9 months from following the program. I confidently recommend it to everyone whether they are a beginner or advanced in fitness. I’ve also learned how to do fun skills like straddle headstands and handstands.

CaliUnity is the best fitness family in Bath by far, not only are Kiera and Ollie amazing PTs, but the community they’ve built around it is so supportive and kind. ❤️”

“Supportive, open, collaborative environment.

Great mix of strength and flexibility training. So fun.

Recommend to anyone wanting to explore movement and/or fitness!”

“I joined CaliUnity having never tried calisthenics before - it was the best decision I made. The quality of coaching is outstanding - the coaches have a wealth of knowledge and their attention to detail is second to none. Class sizes are small meaning you get tailored tips & advice, helping you progress quickly. The classes focus on improving technique as well as building strength & fitness.

Calisthenics is an incredibly empowering form of exercise as you are totally reliant on your own strength & flexibility. It’s made me appreciate what my body can do more than ever and I am noticeably more toned, particularly around my core, arms and shoulders.

The best aspect of CaliUnity, though, is the people. There’s an amazing sense of community and genuine support for one another, thanks to the positive energy, commitment and enthusiasm of the team. Everyone's progress is celebrated. There are regular socials, giving members the opportunity to bond and forge friendships outside the gym. It’s a family of friendly, likeminded people, who are committed to staying healthy whilst helping each other be the best version of themselves.”

“These guys have created such an amazing environment. As a class based gym every workout is fun, engaging and hard in all the right ways.

All the coaches have such a passion and show real attention to everyones skill levels and specific strengths and weaknesses.

The mixture of skills training, strength building and working towards targets and fitness goals makes it so addictive to keep pushing yourself.

The body scanner which you can use any time you like is such great way to keep you motivated and pushing yourself.

Ive been coming for 2 months now and already seen crazy results!”

“My time at CaliUnity has been the most fun and fulfilling I’ve felt while trying to be active. The team has built something really amazing here. Between the amazing coaches, fantastic community and a holistic approach to training, Cali’s the final stop for me.

One of my goals coming to Cali was an escape from a traditional gym routine and to find something that excites me to go in. It’s 7 weeks in now and I’m yet to find myself a silly excuse to stay on my couch because I’m really motivated to go in. I’m seeing the progress I am making in strength and skills and having fun in the sessions.”

“This is the first gym I've joined in almost 30 years and the only one that I have ever enjoyed.

I actually look forward to my 7am session!

Everyone is so friendly and it really is a community. The coaches are fab and I'm learning so much.

Thank you to you all.”

“I’ve been training with CaliUnity for a few months and the individual training has helped me with my knee problems so much so that I can now run with no pain or flare ups! It’s given me new personal goals to work for (the still elusive free handstand, one day soon!).

Whichever way I have my training session, whether it’s a group session or personal training, I always leave feeling like I had a fantastic training session and can definitely see my fitness gains.”

“Since going to CaliUnity, my body has got stronger & leaner, & I’m feeling great overall.

And it’s lots of fun!”

“I have been a member of CaliUnity since September and cannot sing its praises more - all the trainers are amazing, so supportive and are there to make sure you reach your goals. If you are thinking about it - go on give it a try!”

“Really enjoying training with CaliUnity!

Really feel like I’m making progress and the instructors are fab.”

“The members are friendly, the instructors are also all so friendly, professional and knowledgeable but also importantly encouraging to us all at whatever level we are at.

They all provide clear instruction around performing different techniques and moves within each type of class.

Every time I enter the CaliUnity space I feel invigorated to get going with whichever class I attend. The classes are fun but we also all work hard on technique and good form with total encouragement not only from our partner (if we work as a pair) but also from the instructor.

I have trained/exercised for most of my adult life and have now found something that I totally love - thank you CaliUnity!”

“An excellent environment - people are friendly, happy, supportive & challenging.

The workouts are super fun and feel like playtime whilst challenging yourself every visit!”

“A brilliant set up with passionate coaches who really care about improving each and every one of us.

They provide personal and supportive care to all the Cali goers.

Individual improvements are measured and celebrated. A wide range of classes are offered to suit all. Much fun and learning to be had in every class.

Exercise becomes something that you look forward to!

Try it out if you can!”

“I joined CaliUnity having ruptured my Achilles - spending 12 weeks in a boot and needing to regain ALOT of strength.

Having been a bit sceptical at first - I can honestly say that it has given me so much confidence and conviction in my body’s ability to regain strength and to achieve targets I never thought possible.

Thanks for all my friends at CaliUnity 🙏💪🏻”

“Classes are wicked, coaches are mint.

Everyone is very friendly, diverse group of people ranging in ages and all abilities.

Everyone can get stuck in and go at their own pace/strength. Highly recommend!”

“Great gym run by great people.

All trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the classes and workouts are challenging, fun and deliver results.”

“An absolute vibe.”
