It is the first time that we are announcing a partnership here via this Blog on our website. Therefore, this announcement is something special to us. First, because it is the first partnership that we are entering with an organization that we are considering as a dedicated media platform for Calisthenics on an international level. Second, because this partnership represents the new chapter that we are working on currently, which is the expansion of Streetlifting and Calisthenics beyond the circles of our current community.
This being said, it is a pleasure for us to present Calisthenics Worldwide as our first official media partner for FinalRep. In this blog we will share something about the people behind Calisthenics Worldwide, how we got together and what we are working on.
(1) About Calisthenics Worldwide
From our perspective Calisthenics Worldwide is one of the biggest media platforms dedicated to Calisthenics with an international scope. Over 10+ years, they have built a brand that is known for highly valuable content to the Calisthenics Community. Their main focus: product reviews.
With their website – https://calisthenicsworldwide.com – they have created a space for knowledge space about various products across the Calisthenics market from general sport knowledge, training exercises, training programs and equipment reviews. Their structure is straight forward so that everyone who gets into Calisthenics can find what they need. On Social media they also have built a significant reach with 12.400+ subscribers on YouTube and 82.700+ Followers on Instagram.
But hey: do they also make content about Streetlifting? Good point – that’s why we are here now 😉
(2) How we got together
In 2025, the first worldwide FinalRep Season included competitions in 14 different countries from 4 continents. One of these events was the Dutch Nationals 25, organized by the Netherlands Calisthenics Academy. Jelle, one of the team members from Calisthenics Worldwide (based in the Netherlands), joined the event team of this competition and commentated on the Livestream, produced by Rising Productions – Livestream DSN 25
A few weeks after the competition when we (FinalRep) had a feedback call with the organizers of the Dutch Nationals about their event, they mentioned that we should consider asking Jelle to join our event team for the WORLDS as well. Just a short checking of the livestream later, we contacted Jelle if he wants to be one of our main commentators of the livestream at the FinalRep WORLDS 25. And even after Jelle told us that there were a lot of things going on in his life at that moment, he still managed to join our team.
So then, there we are, at the biggest Streetlifting event in history so far, meeting us in person for the first time. What can we say – it was a perfect match! Jelle just jumped into the role of a professional commentator and supported our team on both days from the beginning to the very end … including the dismantling of the arena which we finished at 2:22 pm (as you can see in the CWW Instagram highlights :))
(3) Our first project
The experience of the FinalRep WORLDS was a marking moment for both FinalRep and Calisthenics Worldwide. On one side FinalRep has completed the first worldwide competition season and on the other side CWW got inspired so much about Streetlifting, that they decided to include Streetlifting in their future content as well.
Based on this great experience with the WORLDS 25, we both got together on a call and talked about our future plans. Quickly we both realized that we are on the same page, both on a personal and professional level.
So then, how do we start? When asking this question, we (FinalRep) already made plans about the Winter League 26, the first international Calisthenics Endurance competition season, carried out by our project team FR Street Workout. While the Winter League overall included 23 competitions across 10 countries worldwide, our main team managed to organize 17 competitions on their own within only 6 weeks. One part of this journey was a big tour covering 10 competitions in 2,5 weeks, driving over 4.000 kilometers across Europe. The last step (and final highlight) of this tour was our visit to the CWW Headquarters in Heerlen, the Netherlands.
Here we used this opportunity to get to know each other better, exchange ideas on how to grow Calisthenics and Streetlifting further and finally, we recorded two podcasts episodes – one about FinalRep and Streetlifting and one about Endurance Calisthenics and the first Winter League Season.
The first episode about Streetlifting is considered to be a well rounded recap of the first 5 years of FinalRep and offers some interesting behind-the-scenes insights of our daily work. Here you can watch this episode:
(4) Our plans for the future
As Jelle told us when we visited him and his teammates Jari and Yorick, he was completely hooked by his first two experiences in Streetlifting – the DSN25 and the WORLDS25. He was excited about the love and the effort that the organization of both events revealed to him – from athletes, coaches, brands and the organizers themselves. All these impressions combined, convinced him that Streetlifting is a big thing, worth investing time and energy in. And following the process of FinalRep over the last months, the numbers show that Streetlifting is a fast growing sport with huge potential.
In addition, we both consider the synergy between Streetlifting and Calisthenics (which is the basis of Streetlifting) as an important aspect of the future growth of both. That is why we both see a high value in entering a collaboration. We are looking forward to producing educational content on both Streetlifting and Calisthenics to create a high level of knowledge and a wider reach for the sport of Calisthenics and Streetlifting.
Let’s grow together! 🧡
