What is 'Callanetics'?
One word describes Callanetics exercises; unique. By isolating muscle groups and using tiny, precise (yet powerful) movements, Callanetics exercises tighten and reshape your body while increasing strength, flexibility and body alignment.
History of Callanetics
Callan Pinckney
The Callanetics exercise method was founded by Callan Pinckney in the 1980's. It became a worldwide phenomenon breaking 'best seller' records for her first exercise programme '10 years younger in 10 hours'. This revolutionised the fitness industry worldwide and to this day the Callanetics method still hails strong with the release of five new programmes which are the latest addition to the Callan Pinckney series - The Callanetics Evolution, Cardio Callanetics, Callanetics Extreme, Callanetics Pure and 30 Days to a Beautiful Body.
Many years of travel took its toll on Callan's body; she was in constant pain and arrived back to her homeland in a wheel chair. She was advised to have surgery on her knees and back but decided to try exercise first. After trying many forms of exercise, all of which made her condition worse, she began to experiment with her classical ballet training. She took classical ballet positions, for body alignment and added to that a gentle, precise movement- her iconic ‘pulse’. She discovered that by performing these combinations, not only did she become pain free but her body changed shape and toned dramatically- Callanetics was born!!
