Our History
The Compound Wellingborough was set up in 2013 to give people of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicity, a chance to take part in physical and mental training with a difference.
People from areas of deprivation were given access to a form of exercise that not only benefits them physically but also mentally. Calisthenics has had a positive impact on people’s lives, from youngsters who have now qualified coaches to those who are now leading a positive lifestyle – all through Calisthenics and personal development. Some of these young people are now volunteering and teaching others.
The Compound Wellingborough raised funds through various fundraising activities to build a calisthenics rig in a local park for the local people. This rig has helped break down barriers and bring people together from all walks of life, leading to positive outcomes.

Calisthenics for Hope
Calisthenics is a form of gymnastics which connects the mind to the body. It is the facilitator of happiness:
Connect with
people
Community is a central part of calisthenics, it brings people together, largely as it is a non-competitive sport.
Take care of
your body
Your body is designed to move and calisthenics releases endorphins – happy hormones
Appreciate
Calisthenics enables you to focus on you, and concentrate on what you are doing, occupying your brain and body.
Keep learning
There is the opportunity to explore your physical potential, calisthenics provides endless opportunities to try new movements benefiting from both the physical and mental perspectives
Direction
it allows for goal setting and maintaining focus and what is to be achieved.
Resilience
