Another triumph for Wild Training and the Urban Strength Bar. Alongside an incredible front cover of Men’s Fitness, the Urban Strength bar is now tried, tested and reviewed on Daily Mail Online.
With a readership of over 92,360,000 people - we are extremely proud of this achievement.
The review came from a journalist who took on a 1-1 with James Griffiths during a live workout with the Urban Strength Bar. Going through a typical session they looked at warm ups with the bar, how the bar can be used for strength and cardio as well as ending with some flexibility moves.
The Urban Strength Bar was designed with the idea of training the body using leverage, thanks to it’s design and clever programming from James Griffiths, we can utilise the leverage to achieve an intense cardio workout, strength workout and flexibility workout. No matter your fitness level, whether you’re starting out, recovering from an injury (the bar will most definitely assist your recovery) to a hobbyist fitness fan all the way up to an elite athlete, everyone can benefit from the Urban Strength Bar.
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL EQUILIBRIUM OF STRENGTH, BALANCE AND CONTROL.
We have released a new version on the Urban Strength Bar. Now boasting the V3.0, this bar weighs under 2kg, the most lightweight model yet. This design has a built in texture that helps when gripping the bar which is new to the V3.0. The bar is guaranteed for 50 years and we have not managed to break one yet.
The bar is only £49.99 and comes complete with online training and workouts for you to get started. You can buy the bar direct from our Wild X app or here, available in blue, pink or grey.
Our trainers are always on hand to help anyone with the Urban Strength Bar. With over 7 years of experience in using the bar we are always evolving the training, expanding the uses for the bar and more and more people are benefiting from using the Urban Strength Bar everyday.

Calisthenics - What are they
Caisthenics - what are they, what can they help with.... and why are they called calisthenics?
It's about movement, your body and gravity. Those three things are constant in life, activity and sport, so calisthenics exercise is for everyone.
The word Calisthenics comes from the Greek words “Kallos” and “Sthenos”, which mean beauty and strength. When Greeks saw people mastering their own body weight back in the day they named it beautiful strength. Calisthenics.
Expressive movements from levers and handstands to planches and transitions linking different positions and movements together.
The Urban Strength Training equipment like the Urban Strength Bar and Parallettes we use at the Wild Training Gym offer a really nice way to get in to calisthenics for people that aren't as experienced with body weight training.
The parallettes allow you to practice sit position, press position and handstand position skills but thanks to their height you will get more time training and less time dragging your feet on the floor while you develop the early levels of strength you need to do these types of exercises with perfect form. Another benefit to using the parallettes is when gripping them your wrist will be in a straighter line compared to when you hand has to flex to plant on the floor. This means you can spend more time training without lots of wrist fatigue which means better results in less time. For developing great stability and strength in your upper body and linking that strength in to your abdominals and hips parallettes are incredible tools to add in to your training.
The Urban Strength Bar is very different to the parallettes but that's one of the best things about it. Variety is the spice of life.
The Urban Strength Bar brings together strength, flexibility and balance to achieve incredible results.
By enhancing movements with increasing levels of leverage the Urban Strength Bar can strengthen core muscle fibre which improves performance, reduces risk of injury and helps to tighten muscle tone to create beautiful body shapes by lengthening muscles.
It’s easy to work the whole body in the frontal, sagittal and transverse planes of movement, and in fact link all of those planes of movement together which is one of the reason the Urban Strength Bar can help so many different types of people, achieve different types of goals, in a way that they see those results transfer in to all of the sports and activities that they enjoy.
Calisthenics is about strengthening your body while lengthening your muscles so for us we think it can add something to literally every ones training. Whether you are training for weight loss, body shape, muscle tone or performance you will see and feel the results calisthenics deliver in everything you do. Results that transfer to life and sport.
Another amazing resource is the guys over at GMB Fitness. These guys are incredible and offer some great programs if you want to take calisthenics to the next level.
The parallettes and Urban Strength Bar are both available to buy from Physical Company so if you want to train with them at home you can get video programs from Wild Training and get going where ever you are.
Beautiful Strength that will help you go turbo ninja in every moment. Get on calisthenics now.
