Simonster is a world leader in bodyweight training. Starting gymnastics at an early age, he became passionate about mastering control of the body and immersed himself in the world of bodyweight strength training.

Yaad is the co-founder of labcoatfitness and is one of the few people walking this planet who has mastered all areas of calisthenics.  Simultaneously he is studying his way to becoming a medical doctor and has founded lab coat fitness, a company devoted to helping calisthenics athletes reach their goal by training the scientificaly proven way.

Zef Zakaveli is a legend in the Calisthenics Community. In 2006, he started to post videos of his impressive bodyweight feats on Youtube. Shortly after he founded the Barbarians, a global yet tight-knit community of individuals who have passion for calisthenics. In 2013 he performed the G.O.D. set (100 reps on the bar without letting go). Zef has also judged calisthenics competitions around the world.
