New: the calisthenics park on the VU Campus square

At the calisthenics machines, you can do various strength exercises, suitable for a quick move in between your daily clothes, but also for a full workout. The field is freely accessible.

Did you know that the surface is made from old sports shoes? Through the use of natural aggregate and recycled rubber granules from worn sports shoes, this floor is circular and innovative. The floor is also highly permeable; rainwater is quickly drained through the surface.

What is Calisthenics?

Calisthenics is a form of strength training that involves performing various exercises that target the major muscle groups. The exercises are performed with minimal use of equipment; primarily using one's own body weight.

The installation of the calisthenics equipment was made possible by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Sportcentrum VU and VUvereniging.
