I've been loving it so far. I've recently gotten into Martial Arts and needed to add some new stuff to my strength training. I wrestled all throw high-school and decided to switch to Muay Thai, planning on MMA later. They've been great for practicing the explosive-ness I need with some of the exercises like push-ups.
Also good job not being hated on IFunny. I've seen a lot of big names always getting turned on by the end of thier popularity.

Starting slow just doing the wall pushups...
Will start the 2nd portion soon...

The hybrid calisthenics book is extremely well done! It is very clear that anyone regardless of their physical condition can at least do some of the beginner exercises. And then slowly but surely work their way up through the progressions. I would recommend this to anyone!
Mark
This product is truly great! Each and every one of the hybrid calisthenic exercises can be done by anyone of any fitness level. You may only be able to do one or two reps of the easiest of each exercise, but with time and persistence you will absolutely without a doubt see results!
I cannot recommend this product highly enough!
Crystal C.
Great product. Fast shipping.
STEVE P.
Best Calisthenics book I have bought. :-D
The others, in the past, have been way too info heavy, which are not necessarily exercise related, before actually getting into the exercise related topics.
This book, from Hamilton & co, ... the best there is!!
Straight forward out of the starting gate, and simple to follow and use!
i am now well on my way to attaining the goals I want to achieve, as the structure of the exercise progressions are brilliant!
Thanks, H.. a book well thought out, and loving the spiral spine version, too! ;-)
All the best

Great content for all levels. Will be a part of my daily routine once stuff heals.
Morgan M.
This has been very helpful in knowing what to do, how, and when. Having apps is helpful, but there's still something about being able to flag pages, flip back and forth, and have a larger format right there for reference. And you can keep the book forever!
Alexander M.
Very nice book! I use it every day!
Patrick A.
Well thought out and presented material.
Philip S.
The books helped a lot making a sustainable and simple routine for myself to lose weight and avoid a gym membership.
Matthew R.
It's a great book and/or gift for a health conscious loved one
Chase A.
Great book, It’s easy to follow and implement! It gives lots of variations for wherever your at in your fitness journey. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Abigail J.
Really helpful, and easy to use!

This program is really incredible! I have some long-term health challenges that have really impeded me from doing a lot of exercises over the last year. Some of my challenges include a connective tissue disorder that leaves me both hyper flexible but also with very tense muscles. Usually when I exercise, I find myself struggling with knots and rigidness in my muscles that I have to go and get Physical Therapy and Massage to release. In the few weeks I’ve been doing this program I already see great improvement in my strength, flexibility, and my weight. I think having just two exercises to do is a great threshold for me in my body, and doing them just twice a week I see my strength improving each time. I got a very basic rowing machine that I use for 15 minutes warmup and then I do my two calisthenic exercises. I feel better than I have in the last 18 months and for the first the first time since then, I am feeling a shift in my physical health. The book is very well written, it was very thorough, explanations and great advice on how to make each exercise easier or more difficult.
And if you’re worried about it being hard enough, my very athletic and coordinated son has started to do this with me, and there is plenty to challenge him and for him to grow into even with his level of athleticism.
Considering the cost and the information and resources provided, I think this is one of the best values you could invest in as a fitness program and even more, for a healthy life
Greg F.
good resource, well laid out and organized, with different levels for every exercise, progression sequences for more challenging moves....and a few puns!
Xue C.
I'm gonna do it this time!

Moises H.
The book came on time, I love the quality of the book and the binding, the packaging felt secure
Kyle K.
Such a simple and well thought out routine. I really appreciate the clear progression for each exercise, and seeing examples of the tougher progressions is great motivation.
I'm enjoying the spiral printed version - nice printing, lays flat, feels like it'll last, and I can put sticky notes all over it.
Elsa A.
Fantastic guide and easy to follow
Raymond R.
The book is clear and the progressions look attainable. Looking forward to working through them. I’m excited about starting.
Penny S.
I like that it is arranged and graduated challenges so that I can feel my progress and attain better proficiency over time
Frankie T.
The shipping estimate said it may take up to a week, but it ended up arriving the day after I ordered it
M F.
Didn’t get the book after weeks and weeks of door dash delivery fails and 1 supposedly
Sent in the mail. Never received, just gave up.
Joseph H.
Great program that meets you where you are. And lets you expand to an almost endlesss possible limits with
Your health and fitness.
Christopher C.
Shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. I will truly enjoy using this.
Dylan G.
The book has been very helpful with me starting my fitness plans.
Westley S.
Really love the energy Hampton gives off to the world. I am a Chiropractor by trade and I was humbled by some of the regressed movements of exercises I do normally at the gym. Great book!
Vladimir E.
Just bought it to have you next to me when I work out Hampton
Pamela V.
Time will tell, but this is very easy and approachable. Thank you!

Love how the program is set up and you can work based on your fitness level.

Love the organization and purposeful explanations.
Tracy H.
I love how the book handles beginners. It makes it all less daunting! Thank you!
Daniel P.
Binding is awesome! Quality is excellent! Awesome!!
Angela L.
Bought this as a birthday gift for husband turning 74 soon. Really like the idea of a gentle start to improved fitness and achievable strength, balance and flexibility. Having a book to reference while learning is wonderful.
Thank you for writing this.
Julie D.
Nice book. Love all the progressions in it!
Elizabeth E.
Book looks good and well laid out. Might have liked a slightly smaller format for portability. Rings are great
Robert B.
My husband is very fit and is able to use more advanced techniques while I am not fit at all and am starting at all basic levels. We are so excited that it works for both of us. We also appreciate the humor and good vibes throughout the book. We are loving it!!!
Kenz R.
Really easy to follow and great for any level
Lianelys A.
This book is awesome for anyone at any level! This is a great way to stay off your phone and focusing on working out. I combine the sessions mentioned in the book with other cardio workouts and it has really helped me boost my confidence these last few weeks!
Dao T.
Love the books content. Shipping damaged the spine and corner of the book, wish it was packaged in a box to prevent the damage.
Marta K.
A friend and I have been meeting and using this book and it has really great tips. The book is well organized with different colored tabs to find exercises easily.
Stephanie
Excellent quality printing - love the guided progressions
Diane S.
I’ve been watching Hampton on TikTok forever and he’s so talented but of course not anything that I can do. When I went to the website and saw the book and that I can start from scratch I was excited. I’m 61 and it’s so hard to find a program that’s not ridiculously advanced for someone who was alway into cardio and doesn’t have a lot of strength. I’m following the book to the letter. I love hard copy. I have a long way to go but feel I have direction now.
Gabrielle N.
I really love how this book is set up. It seems simple enough, but has so many variations of each exercise. My whole family can use the book. I really love how the exercises are explained and build on each other.
Roberta L.
I really love the spiral binding. The other feature that I like is that I can see the progression and have a goal of where I want to go.
Colin T.
Excellent progression book, great insights and instructions!
Otto S.
Information is very well organized and explained thoroughly. There are also plenty of failsafes and alternate options for various exercises if one doesn't work for you, and the positive attitude throughout the whole book acts as a good motivator during your workouts. One thing I would suggest is maybe a section for/about stretches to improve flexibility? Fantastic purchase though.
Troy C.
Life changing. I am in my late 50s, this program has helped me reclaim my fitness in a deliberate manner free from injury.
Rob S.
This is an absolutely great program. I’ve enjoyed watching many of Hampton’s videos and learned quite a bit. I definitely recommend this book whether or not it’s for one’s self or as a gift. The one critique I have, which in no way detracts from my 5 star rating, would be regarding the colored “tabs” on the pages. Some might find it more useful if these were staggered rather than in the same spot for the different exercises.
Dianna J.
Been a long time follower and have loved your page wanted to support your work and got your book. Hope it helps my family and friends.
Taylor S.
I was super excited when I saw the book come out! I have been wanting to get into calisthenics for awhile and I really like how Hampton's videos make it seem approachable. I look forward to getting started on my calisthenics journey and building functional strength to stay healthy!
Todd S.
Great quality. Easy to follow along. It is nice that each movement is illustrated step by step as you progress from easy to advanced. Thank you for writing this book.
Lea C.
I love Hampton's approach to integrating fitness into every day life. He is so kind and encouraging. The book is easy to understand. With the way the routines progress, I will be using this book for the rest of my life. Great value!
Catelyn R.
This is great and the spiral binding makes it perfect for laying the book on the floor. Also, the bits of comedy and friendly writing is are great and make doing the exercises that much more fun.
Munesu C.
Awesome book, great photos with explanations and progressive skills!
Charles D.
Just starting, too soon to comment.
Susan R.
Love the easy to follow directions and the way the book stays open.
Jennifer S.
Love that the book starts easy and gives options on how to work up a little at a time.
Devon G.
Love the set up for the book and I appreciate the spiral binding for being able to focus on one page
Carrie B.
The book is very nice, I got the bundle with the gym rings and I love them. I can use them on my pull up bar which it’s a lot of fun. The quality is fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and experience. Keep doing what y’all do!
Rachel T.
Well laid out with easy to reference pages!
Susan G.
I’ve recently been encouraged to learn pull ups and found your YouTube videos and shorts to helpful and fun. I’ve bought a lot of exercise books over the years and this is my favorite one now.
Paul V.
BUYER BEWARE! He’s advertising this book as spiral bound. I bought the book and received it 2 days ago and it does not come spiral bound and does not lay flat as advertised.
Kailyn W.
The program is very manageable and fits in my day well. Workouts only take about 30 minutes each and are a great addition to my weightlifting plan. Thank you for making such an easy to use book and program!
Colette M.
Hybrid Calisthenics is written in terms that explain the exercises and how they work in layman’s terms. Simple enough to follow, yet completely informative for the curious mind. The pictures are clear and precise. Thank you for your uncommon sense of dignity by which you do not assail us with shiny pecs as hairless as a baby’s bottom like most other trainers.
Adolphe B.
Easy to follow and apply. Being able to look at the different ways to modify the movement's makes it simple to adjust to my levels of fitness.
Louis E.
The explanation and the illustration really helped out when doing the workout need. Really appreciate the book.
Thank you
Keith W.
I’ve been doing the hybrid routine for about 2 weeks now and I feel great. With me now practicing bboy and also being a competitive roller skater it’s helping me get stronger in order to do the moves that require a lot of body control.
Carlos O B.
I like it, still reading through it but the information is easy to grasp and digest. Part if the reason I bought the book was because of how approachable and down to Earth Hampton seems. I’m glad to see it wasn’t lost in the book. Can’t wait to put what I learn into practice.
Scott K.
It’s a great book. Thanks.
Ethan K.
High production value. Well written.
November V.
I love the anatomical notes and the progression/regression variations
Jon D.
Got the book. Having fun improving my life.
Troy C.
The physical book is well laid out and well detailed, I am excited to see my progress in a few months.
Tiffany D.
I love this book for me and my 11 year old daughter to exercise together. Thank you very much to everyone that worked so hard on such a great book for all ages and improved health!
Janice C.
I’m new to calisthenics and the step by step directions are helpful. I’m not losing weight, I’m trying to gain the muscle I lack so starting with stages of the exercises helps.
Jonathan W.
Well laid out, helpful, and thorough. This is a program that one can actually perform and progress in the demands of today's duties.
Shelley B.
I haven't started yet but have looked through the book and will start soon.
Jewel T.
I love this book! I was overdue for a new workout, and this one I can already tell is going to move me far beyond my previous one. I am excited that I am going to be able to do things that I thought I just couldn’t do and learn how to do new cool things that I didn’t know existed. The illustrations and explanations are really helpful. Thank you so much for making this book and making it accessible to people like me!
Lin R.
Looks and feels great, content is as high quality as the videos we love you for!
Josh C.
Book is very nice, both explanatory and concise in the right ways. I do think the ring binding could be a bit larger - the current size causes some pages to be harder to flip or "overlap" onto others when turning.
Myles H.
Getting this book has kept me motivated to do the routines listed every morning from Monday - Saturday! Having the pages, photos, and descriptions make it not only easy to follow, but easy to try to challenge myself to go further. (Within my limits, of course.)
Nanette G.
It’s so user friendly! I love it!
Maggie B.
Love having the printed version! Nice quality feel to the pages.
