WHAT IS CALISTHENICS?
Calisthenics comes from two Greek words: kalos, beautiful, and sthenos, strength. This name pretty much sums up what this sport is all about: using your own bodyweight and minimal equipment to transform your body, build great levels of strength and mobility and eventually master impressive skills that require high amounts of body control like human flags, muscle-ups and handstand push-ups.
WHAT THE HOC?
HOC – House Of Calisthenics is an international Calisthenics coaching platform. It was founded by Raphael Reinig, a Calisthenics expert with more than a decade of experience in the field. Raphael has coached hundreds of athletes from all around the world through personal training, workshops, group classes and online coaching. Our services are currently offered in Tel Aviv and online.

CALISTHENICS BASICS
Beginners first build a strong foundation with the Calisthenics Basics: exercises like pull-ups, dips, rows, push-ups and squats along with their proper technique and activations will eventually carry over to Advanced Calisthenics.
ADVANCED
CALISTHENICS
Building upon the Calisthenics Basics, the Advanced Calisthenics skills offer a virtually unlimited potential for long term progress with challenging and creative exercises.
Why Calisthenics?
Calisthenics training offers a multitude of benefits, one of which is its unparalleled convenience. With minimal equipment requirements, such as a pair of gymnastic rings, and optionally, a pull-up and parallel bars, you can train almost anywhere – be it in the park, at home, in the gym, or while traveling. The beauty of mastering Calisthenics skills lies in the sheer satisfaction of being able to move your body freely through space while maintaining complete control.
In addition to this, Calisthenics training is scientifically proven to increase health, as it is a form of strength training that can help you achieve high levels of strength, mobility, and body tension, build muscle mass, and improve your overall physique. What’s more, Calisthenics exercises can be tailored to suit every level, from beginners to advanced athletes, making it a versatile and adaptable form of strength training with no limits to progress.
CLIENT REVIEWS
Very good communication and support as well, a great all around coach.
Raphael supported me to improve my movements in order to activate the right muscles.
Although I consider myself an office worker, i was able to achieve movements like a muscle up and backlever – with no injuries on the road. Love the Calisthenics and physiology knowledge that Raphael brings to the workouts.
אני מתאמן עם רפאל בשנתיים האחרונות. מאמן מעולה, מקצועי ביותר, קפדן, בעל ידע נרחב ביותר. האימונים היו מהנים ביותר וכך גם האינטראקציה עם רפאל. יש גם אופציה להתאמן דרך הפלאפון מה שהיה מאוד מועיל בתקופת בידודי הקורונה והסגרים. מצוין!
He’s always focused on long term effectiveness and sustainability. He’s given me so many microadjustements throughout our time training together to make sure I’m activating the right muscles and not positioning myself wrong to compensate for weaknesses elsewhere.
He has a pretty holistic view of health which works well with my own. I’ve been really happy that I’ve been able to develop my calisthenics skills, build muscle, and get definition too. For me one of my greater fears transferring from a regular yoga to calisthenics routine was that I’d start to get stiff and sore, and start to experience the same back pain I had when I used to train weights. But Raphael’s focus on proper form and execution of every rep has helped me to workout pain free. He’s also added into my routine stretches that have even increased my flexibility in some areas. He’s a great instructor who I highly recommend.
I can only recommend and have nothing but good things to say about the style of teaching and professionalism!
Unfortunately, I was only here for 4 months. But it was definitely a good alternative to crossfit!
will definitely go again!
And besides, it is just an excellent workout. Discovered through a friend and couldn’t be happier that I did.
I started exercising a few times a week in a park near my house, With guidance from YouTube videos, I managed to reach some gains, especially in pull-ups, but for maybe half a year I tried to get the ability to do a muscle-up, but by no means succeeded. Until I met Raphael , I started training in the group under his guidance, which was great, after about three months I was able to do this hard thing called muscle-up and much more.
Despite his very young age, Raphael is a real expert in his field, he always knows how to give the exact tip that will correct the movement and boost performance and promote ability.
Ever since I started practicing with him, I’ve been coming piously every week, because it’s a shame to miss out even one such high-value sessions.
I am a Calisthenics newby – first try was in this class. Rafael is a fantastic teacher and creates and develops his classes based on the levels of his students so that everyone is pushed to a level that challenges them & I plan to never stop attending his classes. I strongly recommend Rafael’s group classes or private sessions
