B-sthenos was established in 2020 by a community of calisthenics enthusiasts who wanted to improve their physical condition and develop social bonds through outdoor workouts.
Sedentary Lifestyle on the Rise
Over the past decade, the sedentary lifestyle among teens and young adults has significantly increased.
Mental Health Impact
Lack of physical activity is also linked to increasing stress, anxiety, and depression among young individuals.

Africa – social inclusion, sport.
As part of a youth exchange we met in Morocco the Agadir Street Workout Association (ASWA), in Sénégal the Street Workout Dakar, Monastir Street Workout in Tunisia and Calisthenics Bros Jijel in Algeria.
The goal is to show young people from Brussels that it is possible to carry out enriching projects and that they are capable of great things. By sharing values such as team spirit, respect, surpassing oneself and empathy during workshops at the Street Workout parks.
B-sthenos, our non-profit organization, commits to
environmental sustainability. To offset carbon emissions from projects in Africa, we partnered with Graine de Vie to plant trees. Join us in reducing our carbon footprint and combating climate change. Together, let’s make a greener, sustainable
future.

Le coach est très attentionné et a plein de connaissances sur le street workout et le sport en général qu'il partage avec plaisir. J'ai eu l'occasion de faire 3 voyages grâce à B-sthenos. On est allé au Sénégal, en Espagne et en Tunisie pour rencontrer d'autres groupes de street workout. C'était à chaque fois des échanges et expériences inoubliables ! Je serai éternellement reconnaissante au coach Benji et à B-sthenos pour ces opportunités. Je recommande à tout le monde de rejoindre le groupe. C'est vraiment accessible à tous donc vous êtes tous la bienvenue :) Francesco Pochetti2025-04-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing coach and great group to practice calistenics skills! Alexia Ahn2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un club exceptionnel en plein cœur de Bruxelles ! B-Sthenos est bien plus qu’un simple club de calisthénie : c’est une véritable communauté inclusive et motivante. Les cours sont accessibles à tous les niveaux, que vous soyez débutant ou expérimenté, et surtout… disponibles en français, anglais et espagnol ! Les coachs sont à l’écoute, passionnés et créent une ambiance positive où chacun peut progresser à son rythme. Les entraînements sont variés, dynamiques et parfaitement adaptés à une pratique urbaine. Un lieu idéal pour se dépasser, se sentir bien dans son corps et rejoindre une vraie équipe à Bruxelles. Je recommande à 100 % ! Azzeddine Guedouh2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cela fait quelques mois que je pratique la callisthénie au côté d'une super équipe et du très compétent coach Benji. Je sens qu'au bout de chaque séance, je progresse un petit peu plus et ma motivation est fortement galvanisée grâce aux encouragements de chaque membre qui ont tous une part de talent à démontrer. Je conseille mille fois d'essayer au moins une fois une séance au côté d'un coach qui vous écoute et vous aide à progresser et ce peu importe le niveau que vous possédez! Merci Benji! Patrick Poniatowski2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really a great place where you can not only improve your fitness but also meet wonderful people! The atmosphere is very positive and everyone is helpful and motivates you to achieve better results! 🔥 Dominika Boguszewska2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super ambiance et chouette équipe !! Eliel Benaroch2024-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with these lovely people for a few months now and I’ve been loving every moment. The trainer is very professional and attentive to the abilities of each participant. The exercises are diverse and creative. When the weather allows for it, we train outside which is a massive bonus in my opinion. After having tried many different ways to workout in a group I find that this one is without a doubt the best of the best. Very affordable, lovely and dedicated team mates and again, a superb coach. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to challenge himself physically and mentally while having fun! lalou bernard2024-09-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really welcoming and warming! I totally recommend Benji’s classes!😊
