Great book! Great exercises, very good illustrations and tips.
Only thing that could be better with the ebook is that you have to jump around a lot. What exercises do I need to do to day? What are legraises again? In a physical book you would just use a few post-its, but it's a bit more complicated with a PDF. A backlink to the routine and on the routine page a short link to all exercises would make it a 6 star book!
Laurie S.
Excellent resource for adapting practices! Grateful :).
Patricia S.
I've been following you for awhile now and I'm really happy with the book and how it's spiral. I like the descriptions and it's very helpful. I've recommended it to some friends
Mark G.
great ebook! would've been great if we can press through the pages in the table of contents rather than scrolling all the way to the page. It can be done as I've seen a pdf that works that way.
Scott M.
Every product I've purchased from Hybrid Calisthenics has exceeded my expectations. This is why I support Hampton and share with others.
Claudia S.
A little jewel with well-explained exercises and a simple method to follow. Absolutely amazing.
Julian V.
Great book helping me with starting to live a more active lifestyle. One suggestion I would make is adding tabs for easy maneuvering between exercises. I refer to the book often to review form and what the levels are, but it would be easier to go from section to section if it had tabs.
Emily C.
Good book, I found it easier to follow than the way the info is organized on the website. The progressions and regressions are especially helpful as someone who’s not very strong.
Bojan P.
I bought the book since I wanted to support Hampton in some way, I really appreciate what he's doing and can't wait to see what he, along with the community, will create in the future. Stay awesome my friends!
Stacy R.
Very nicely written with lots of pictures and good instructions on form and exercise progression.
Garry G.
What a Fantastic reference!
Jose S.
I wasn't familiar with the YouTube channel, but after reading the book and watching a few videos, the book's tone makes perfect sense. It is clear and concise, with many options for each movement to ensure everyone can participate. My friends (25-65 in age) and I have been doing these movements together at the park, and it's been a lot of fun.
Chad S.
An excellent book.
Not only does it include advanced level training it also works on progression breakdown training for people (like me) who have 0 knowledge of calisthenics.
I have a poor level of mobility, if I'm being honest; as well as am very out of shape, at 49 y.o.
I feel confident that this book covers everything I need to start off and progress to where I need to be.
I can't recommend highly enough and hope an App to coincide with the book is released soon.

An excellent tutorial. My wife and I haven't worked out for years now and dreaded getting back to it but this has given us a great way to start at our specific fitness level and build back up safely in our spare time. Thanks Hampton!
Ezekiel P.
It works great as a quick reference. However, I wish it had bookmarks
Jan K.
This book is awesome. It really teaches you the basics that you need to have in case you want a strong and healthy body, which you can later customize for what your goal is (gymnastic, bodybuilder, acrobat..., idk what else). I found it quite suprising how only a little adjustment can make excersice much harder (and better).
If you want another great sources to learn how to train, here they are:
I think there is few more great books for flexibility (and strenght in that new range of motion) from MovementsByDavid (YT), when I got them, he had 4 free and 1 paid, I would recommend them too because they"re more focused on flexibility than this one.
One last channel that I would recommend is probably SquatUniversity (I am not really sure if its focused on some particular area of training or not).
I like Hybrid Calisthenics (YT) the most of these, probably because of how does he make them. You can just feel from him that he's an awesome person
Kharon H.
The eBook is great, the videos are very helpful to get proper form. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I just prefer the analog book.
I would recommend this ebook though, the program is great and even after a couple weeks I can feel results.
Daniel P.
Great tips! I love the simplicity and clear directions. Thanks!
MARIA P.
I've been struggling with my sedentary lifestyle all my life. HC allowed me to start building a healthier body AND mind.
Ieuan L.
It's a very useful book and has helped me quite a bit on my journey to fitness
Nairin
Having a digital pdf on my phone is perfect for me! Easy to reference the routines and I can pick which ever variation I feel like I can complete that day. Love how these routines keep me moving.
Ayla P.
Fantastic book! I've been following the program modified to my own schedule for a couple of weeks now and I am already seeing tons of improvements! Love this book!
Karina G.
I’m really loving the ebook! It’s very easy to follow and will meet you anywhere you are in your fitness journey.
Erika L.
Instructions and exercises are very clear and easy to follow:)
Always a joy working out "with" Hampton:)
Antons J.
Thanks Hampton! Great book!
David G.
Great routine and great way to support you guys....
Charles S.
An excellent workout routine that is inspired in its simplicity and range. I'm fat, old and weak, but finding this to be something which I can actually set and achieve realistic targets with. I'm already seeing results after only a couple of months, and the journey towards my old supple and strong self which I previously thought dead and buried, has finally begun.
Leilani L.
I got the digital version because I found it much easier to read everything off my phone or any device at hand. Very simple and straightforward techniques and procedures for each exercise.
David H.
This book is a key reference material if you want to develop your callisthenics skills progressively.
Franco Julián M.
It's a good book, nice evolutions for every exercise. I believe there should be more pictures, it just isn't enough with two photos, one at the beggining and another at the end.
Andrew P.
Best Calisthenics book it's very easy to follow!
Jérémie L.
Thank you for making this book available as a PDF :)
Samuel D.
Fun and convenient way to add a daily workout to your routine!
Bas v.
It is a great book with some good exercises. I love that it goes from easy to more difficult
Misty G.
What a beautiful book. Very detailed. Helpful. Great pictures.
Kristin N.
Hampton is the only exercise teacher online that has made me feel like I *can*, and does so without the false cheeriness of many yoga courses or the shouty exuberance of Peloton and the like, and with simple instructions for both now, and the future. Stellar stuff.
Christofer D.
The program is very interesting and helps bring you onboard with fitness.
Sangram M.
The workout is very effective yet simple. So it's easy to follow it and get significant results soon.
Alex P.
Awesome ebook, totally appreciated the friendly and overall wholesome approach it has with the calisthenics world :)
james M.
I cannot speak more highly of Hampton’s book. Suffice to say it, combined with his online videos, made exercise enjoyable. I have had two total knee replacements and on the road to recovery have found Hampton to provide the most thoughtful and achievable exercises which I can easily incorporate at any level into my daily activity. Although in my late 60s I am now more confident and physically capable than I was 20 years ago. I've taken guidance from Hampton’s exercises, philosophy and his approach on to how to actively engage with living. A real inspiration.
Christine C.
The book is a work of love, and it's very handy to have either the ebook or physical book at hand when you're trying an exercise.
Stefanie K.
Liebe dieses Buch! Ich folge dem Instagram Account schon länger und kannte auch die Hybrid Routine schon, habe aber dann sofort das ebook gekauft und für mich ausgedruckt, um etwas in der Hand zu haben in dem ich auch meine Fortschritte und Notizen festhalten kann. Beim Lesen der Anleitungen kann ich Hamptons Stimme in meinem Kopf hören, man merkt einfach wie viel Herzblut und Begeisterung in dem steckt was er tut!
Jacky C.
Best book for beginner and advanced calisthenics
Jason C.
Great and instructional book that helped set a routine for me!
Ian F.
I have gained strength in all aspects of this book and I would fully recommend it to others. It is easy to use and navigate with clear regressions and progressions. A great ebook created by a very nice guy.
Carmen W.
I am 62 years old and about 2 years post a severe mcl injury in both knees from a fall on some ice. This injury changed me from very fit to very very unfit. Most of my previous exercise was discouraging post injury. The graduated levels of difficulty and intensity of Hybrid C has been life changing. Thank you!
Laurie S.
Awesome accessible resource for practice! Grateful :)
Jose V.
Great book! I got the electronic format. Things are very simply laid out and organized. Into my 3rd week of the basic routine and going strong.
Sylwia W.
Great book for beginners and advanced people. Easy to understand and follow. Great!!
István K.
The eBook is well written, the pictures I find very useful. Now I just have to stick to a routine, and I'll become ever so strong, like Hampton ... :)
Matthew S.
I got the ebook. Love the fact that it was updated and provided at no additional charge after I had bought it. Very concise, clear, with plenty of scaling for any level of fitness. Top marks!
darla b.
Love it! Thank you!
Helena N.
I am 42 (f) and walk A LOT but having always played sport when I was younger I have noticed a significant reduction in my upper body and core strength. I used to watch lots of hybrid calisthenics clips and found them very helpful but I wanted more. I love the ease of the exercises because the levels are dependent on your actual strength now (not some future muscle bound warrior), I couldn't do a proper pushup if my life depended on it but slowly I am making significant progress. The sets are easy to fit in a daily routine and because I can go at my pace I don't have muscle strain the next day and can keep training. The progressions are really good on each exercise so it never gets too easy. I can't speak more highly of the hybrid fitness routines.
Ron T.
I really do love the book! I would’ve liked to have the strength and muscle building routines that are available on the website included in the download.
Julie R.
I love his personality! Would love to meet him. To give his time on YouTube making the videos makes him a very humble person. He gives of himself. Such a blessing.
Jan P.
Good book for general overview of different bodyweight exercises. Helps people like me with lack of fantasy to find the right progression/regression for every exercise.
Josh K.
Love the logical progression into movements I couldn’t imagine doing before. I’m a big dude and doing push-ups was impossible at first. I started with the wall, moved to incline, and now working toward full push ups all within 3 weeks. Feels great!
Ian M.
This is a great resource and something that I hope to supplement my gym visits with. I’m in my fifties so I feel this can help me maintain fitness and flexibility as I get older. Love it
The downloadable version is great but I would have preferred the print version.
I’m in the UK but the cost of delivery was prohibitively expensive.
Jaine C.
I love how these exercises are broken down into achievable exercises. Doing pull ups is on my bucket list and now I have a pathway to achieve it (and I can do at home which I love)
Thanks
Jimmy S.
Liking the progressive methodology. The idea that I can always do an easier variation never occurred to me. Has been exercising semi-regularly (motivation issues) since I got the book. Happy to say I’m fitter than ever before!
James Y.
Professional, knowledgeable, comprehensive and systematic.
Kyle R.
I love the book and routine. I can't wait to continue to work though it. A recommended change to the book right off the bat would be to "stair case" the position of the right edge colored tabs for each category. As it stands now, it is hard to jump right to the section I want. If they were stair cased (each section tab placed lower than the the preceding one) then you would be able to jump to different sections easier. Also, I think it would be great to include a set of 6 Hybrid branded bookmarks with the book, so we can keep our current progression marked for each category and move them as we begin to progress.
Overall, very minor comments. It's a great book and I love having something physical in my exercise area at home. It allows me to use my phone as a timer and rep tracker (I use the fitnotes app on Android) without the need to swap back and forth with the ebook. When I travel having the ebook is fantastic.
Michael J.
I have quite a few physical ailments that keep me from starting out with most exercise programs. Most show an exercise that I probably couldn't do when I was 20 and in the Marines, let alone now when I'm 60. Then they show a bunch of simplified versions that I can't do either. This program is different, starting with exercises that I feel are ridiculously easy, until I try them, then saying. "Stay here a while, but when you CAN do this so easily it's boring, try this!"
So happy I found this program.
Alex P.
Amazing guide, 10/10
Georgi V.
Your videos inspired me to start working out. I promised myself that you have my $20 when you ask for it and I think that's a good way to support you :) I'm glad that anyone who can't buy it can read it for free! GOOD LUCK!
Laurie S.
What an amazing resource for practice!
Daniel W.
Very pleased with the content and presentation. I have the digital version but bought the physical as a gift. Very well done.
Arnis B.
Hi!
All info about training you can find in this website.
Reason I bought this ebook is that I want to support Hampton's work.
Thanks!
Arnis
David B.
I love it. The spiral binding is perfect for an exercise book like this. The pages are thick, durable, and have a luxurious feel to them. Instructions were well thought out and I love having progressions for everything so I abosolutely can do it. High quailty in every aspect and highly recommended.
Paul E.
nice, but if you've watched all his videos and read through his website there isn't much new info in it. but it's a nice gift or reference summarizing his routine.
Brittany K.
Really love this book as a beginner on my fitness journey!
Pauline B.
Very informative and helpful.
Sangram M.
It's a wonderful workout program in calisthenics. Anyone can try it and get strong
Ramona H.
I am a beginner and really don’t know many techniques to gain strength. You are helping a ton! And I don’t feel overwhelmed.
Muhammad S.
simple. easy to understand
Vasileios D.
Hello, I am a 38 years old male and I always used to work out by myself. Being young I also lifted some weights but getting older (and wiser) drives me to a more and more calisthenics style work out. So I found you on YouTube and liked your calm and clear way of explaining things and generally your attitude. I find the guidance very useful, friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. Thank you for your effort. Bill from Greece
