About Us
Founded in 2019 on the West Coast of Australia by Josh McLaughlan, Cali Chamber was born to bring together like-minded individuals who share an interest in unlocking one's full potential through a deeper understanding of Calisthenic's, strength training, mobility, functional health, and mental resilience.
Our training philosophy revolves around a strategic & systematic approach to Calisthenics that caters for all levels of fitness.
What is Calisthenics?
Kalos: "Beauty"
Sthenos: "Strength"
Calisthenics, also known as bodyweight training, is a physical fitness discipline that has been around since ancient Greece. The term "calisthenics" comes from the Greek words "kalos" and "sthenos," which mean "beautiful strength." This type of training involves performing various exercises that use your own body weight and added weight as resistance to build strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Calisthenics workouts typically include compound exercises, such as push-ups, pull-ups, dips, and squats, which target multiple muscle groups at once, making them highly effective for building overall strength and power. In addition, calisthenics also improves your balance, coordination, and range of motion.
What we offer
1:1 Personal Training
Calisthenics is a very individualised sport. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. With 1:1 coaching we map out the best pathway for you and focus on the right progressions. Sometimes we can lack the push or adjustments needed to take our training to the next level and this is where a face to face coach can bridge that gap.
Online Coaching
Our online service is designed for those ready to take training to the next level with the support in your hands. Our programs are tailored to your goals with instructional videos, weekly feedback and online community we help you achieve the movements and lifestyle changes you have always wanted to make.

Testimonials
“ When I joined the Cali Chamber a few years ago I was looking for new challenge as lifting had become boring. I never expected to enjoy this type of training as much as I do, it’s both physically and mentally rewarding.
I have been programming with Josh for 2 years, he is an extremely supportive and approachable coach. His skill and knowledge is both inspiring and motivating, he has helped me take my training to the next level.
The coaching Josh provides in my opinion is excellent, my workouts are aimed towards my goals and with his feedback I am happily making progress. I love being part of the community Josh has built and can’t wait to see how far we can all go. “

"I have been training with Josh for about 3 years now and he has been sensational. He introduced me to calisthenics and it has changed my life.
The training plans are customised to suit my levels and I have progressed so much, and know that with the accountability and personal contact that comes with the new online system that I will continue to have gains consistently.
He has taken my outlook to training to new levels and I actually look forward to the exciting new challenges ahead.
If I can do it at 59 I'm sure anyone can. From handstands to levers, planche's, muscle ups and more its all there. I would highly recommend this system to anyone 5 stars from me.
- Gregg Dunkley
The growth has been insane.
Within the first month, I have achieved unassisted ring muscle ups, elbow planche, L-sit to handstand press on ground and p bars. The added mobility sessions has made me the most mobile I’ve ever been in my life, which has been a bonus considering I sit all day for work.
Despite becoming introverted over the years, it has really helped me feel more confident about myself and want to show people what I’ve been able to achieve.
He has helped me unlock cali moves I never thought were possible.
I’ve learnt that I can still train 5 days a week and I’ve become much more disciplined with my diet.
