From tech professionals to students, many are moving beyond traditional gyms to embrace outdoor bodyweight workouts that build strength, flexibility and balance. The rise of calisthenics is also fostering a strong sense of community, as people train together in open spaces and encourage one another through shared fitness goals and progress. Outside the confines of the traditional gym, a bodyweight-led approach to fitness is becoming a common sight in the city\u2019s open spaces.
