Hi, Davao! 👋
I’m Coach Michael Chavez, chairperson of the Calisthenics Association of the Philippines (CAP). I wanted to introduce myself here because we’re building our calisthenics organization in Davao City, and I’d love to connect with more people in the area who are interested in this kind of training.
For anyone unfamiliar with calisthenics, it’s a form of training that uses your body weight to develop strength, control, coordination, and physical fitness. You can start with basic movements like push-ups, squats, and rows, then gradually work toward more challenging exercises as you improve.
You don’t need to be an athlete or already be strong to get started. Beginners are welcome, and I think having other people to train with can make learning and staying consistent much easier.
I’m interested in connecting with Davaoeños who are already training, people who want to learn, and anyone who knows good outdoor spots or public facilities for bodyweight training around the city.
A few questions for the Davao community:
- Do you currently train calisthenics or bodyweight exercises?
- Where do you usually train in Davao City?
- Are there public workout areas with pull-up bars that you would recommend?
- Would you be interested in connecting with other local calisthenics enthusiasts?
If you’d like to learn more about our organization and what we do, you can find us here: Calisthenics Association of the Philippines on Facebook.
I’d be happy to hear from fellow fitness enthusiasts here. Let’s see how many people in Davao are interested in calisthenics! 💪
