Session overview
The May series includes five guided training sessions with a focus on developing strength, balance, and bodyweight control. Sessions alternate between handstand training and bar/ring-based strength work, giving participants a balanced approach to skill development across the month.
Classes take place at Liberty Park using the park’s main calisthenics rig. Progressions and regressions are provided throughout, allowing beginners and more experienced participants to train safely together.
Weekly Schedule for May 2026:
- 2 May – Handstand & balance basics (bring parallettes if you have them!)

Please Note: No prior calisthenics experience is required. Participants should have a general fitness base, including some strength and cardiovascular capacity. Classes are suitable for anyone looking to get outdoors, improve functional movement, and train alongside a supportive, welcoming community.
Sign-up prior to attending is required. Each participant is responsible for their own safety and should only attempt exercises they feel comfortable practicing. Please inform your coach of any injuries or limitations before the start of the session.
Weather Notice: Sessions run in most weather unless conditions are unsafe. Any cancellations will be posted on the Calisthenics Ireland Instagram story by 10am on the day.
Sessions are open to all, and participants can drop in any week. Each class is structured to help you build strength, develop skills, and stay consistent with outdoor training as part of the wider Public Calisthenics Sessions programme.
