My name is George Arismendy Henriquez Santos. I was born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and came to Switzerland with my family when I was 9 years old. I practiced various sports at a young age. From baseball, soccer, ping pong to Thai boxing and calisthenics. But I didn't know that calisthenics was called that. Exercises like pull-ups, push-ups or muscle-ups were my favorite exercises at the time.

 

When I was 18, I learned what street workout or calisthenics was from THE street workout athlete, Hannibal For King. In 2014, I decided to focus on calisthenics and in this context I started offering my first classes in the Zurich Thalwil area under the name Outdoor Motivation. Through training in various calisthenics parks, my network continued to grow. This ultimately led to me taking part in the TV show "The Greatest Swiss Talents" together with a Swiss calisthenics group called Rising Eagles, and making it to the semi-finals.

 

I have been practicing calisthenics for more than 10 years now. During this time I have been able to build up a broad knowledge through learning by doing, textbooks and also through coaching elite athletes. These aspects enable me to help you with tips and tricks for a variety of calisthenics skills.

I started Calisthenics Classes Lucerne in March 2023. I am already enjoying a great clientele who is motivated to learn new things. Since 2022, as a training manager for the University of Lucerne, I have been able to offer one Calisthenics course per semester through "Hochschulsport Luzern".

​

I would be happy to welcome you to one of my classes soon.

 

Sporting greetings,

George Santos
