This is the story of Tim – The Movement Athlete

Tim - Industrial engineer, father, and Movement Athlete

At the age of 35, Tim has been known as a hardworking husband to his lovely wife and a doting father to his 5-year old son. Having graduated as an industrial engineer, he now works as a managing director of a cosmetic private label production company in Belgium.

Despite the responsibilities he juggles in family and at work, he never fails to give his body the proper attention it needs.

🎯 Tim’s Clear Vision

“[I want to] have a very muscular body, but also visible abs. Calisthenics is the path I will take to get this done.”

Tim had a crystal-clear goal: build significant muscle mass while achieving the coveted six-pack abs. Unlike many who jump between different training methods, Tim recognized that calisthenics was the most effective path to achieve both objectives simultaneously.

Here’s how Tim achieved both goals and became a complete movement athlete.

💪 Tim’s incredible transformation results

With The Movement Athlete Academy, Tim achieved results that exceeded his expectations. His transformation showcases the power of progressive calisthenics for building both strength and aesthetic improvements.

✅ Tim’s Amazing Results

  • Lost 7 kilograms while building muscle simultaneously
  • Achieved visible 6-pack abs – his primary aesthetic goal
  • Gained full muscle control and body awareness
  • Mastered frog stand to handstand press – previously impossible
  • Built magnificent core power that transfers to all movements
  • Progressing toward muscle-ups and advanced skills

Tim’s transformation proves that calisthenics delivers both functional strength and the aesthetic results most people seek.

While Tim admits he hasn’t fully mastered the muscle-up yet, his progress trajectory shows he’s well on his way. More importantly, he’s gained skills and strength that will serve him for life.

The 3 Main Benefits Tim Has Gained Since Starting Calisthenics

Better Control

Tim gained complete control over his muscles and body movements. This transformation allowed him to perform skills that were previously impossible for him.

“I would have ran into Calisthenics at the age of 10 to 15.”

The new, calisthenics-improved Tim can do what the old Tim couldn’t: frog stands, handstands, and is progressing toward muscle-ups. With calisthenics, there’s no limit to what anyone can achieve next!

Easy Access, Hassle-Free, Yet Very Challenging Workout

No need for the gym, because all that calisthenics needs is you and your body. Calisthenics isn’t a workout that requires expensive equipment or a professional gym trainer to teach you the ropes.

Tim has set up his own calisthenics area at the comfort of his own home. He doesn’t even need a trainer as he can just watch calisthenics videos online and try to emulate their moves at home.

Despite being easily accessible, Tim is still continuously being challenged by the workout progressions from The Movement Athlete Academy.

Active and Healthy Lifestyle

Tim hasn’t just improved his body, but his attitude and view of life as well! Not only has he become more energetic, but he has become more dedicated to sports and clean nutrition.

“I was already very dedicated to sports and clean nutrition before calisthenics but now I am even more dedicated because I have a new sportive goal in life.”

If these are the three things that The Movement Athlete Academy has done for Tim, imagine what The Movement Athlete can do for you!
