Ok.. Let’s cut to the chase.

I’m Shimi

I’m the brains behind Bodyweight Brigade and I’m not going to bore you with my story because…

I’ve been in this industry for 14 years. So if we’re talking stories, I have A LOT of them. I also know that you’re not here to read MY story. You’re here to start YOURS.

So i’m going to give you a QUICK run through… because, credibility #amirite.

In a nutshell, I started hand balancing in adulthood. But I quickly learned that women take waaaaaayyyyy too long to get there.

Why?

Because as a regular woman starting hand balancing, ALLLL of the “tips and techniques” we’re given - like:

“Grip the Ground”

“Press into your fingertips til it turns white”

…. only work for men because they have baseline upper body strength.

For me, the woman who only really started any form of physical training in her early 20s, this felt like a royal waste of time.

So I leaned into the right kind of strength work to compliment my hand balancing and I got there faster.

Fast forward to today, I run an exclusive female gymnastics strength and calisthenics facility that help women do less “watching other people so cool sh*t”…

And more “actually doing the cool sh*t”.

Because guess what? You now know how to train according to your physiology.

“Woohoo, it worked!! With all the wall and body line work, I can find my position without falling, which I definitely couldn’t do before this program.”

HOW OUR CLASSES WORK

You know those group classes you attend hoping for some results but you just coast along for months without progressing the way you thought you would?

Yes. That.

We’re here to put an end to that.

And here’s how you’re going to do it:

1. DO

…3 progressive and customised classes according to your level per week. Set your path and work towards your hand balancing and strength goals.

2. LEARN

…how to take advantage of your female physiology to progress faster. No more generic classes where you’re doing the same damn movement everyone else is and getting nowhere.

3. REPEAT

…structured movement patterns with progressive overload to help your body adapt and get stronger, faster. No more doing something different every class because… that’s not training. That’s a workout.

3. ACHIEVE

…handbalancing and strength goals like you have never before. Because now you have structure and you’re not flying blind.

YOUR TIME IS NOW

become strong AF using Calisthenics and Bodyweight Strength Training methodologies.
breakdown each hand balance movement so that you learn which movements serve you and which ones don’t.
progress in half the time (time is too precious to be spent on guessing your next move).
use your physiology to your advantage.
laugh your heart out. Because training is fun. And we’re here to prove it one chuckle at a time.
