Beginner friendly — everyone works at their level. If you’re new, book L9 Fitness first.
Handstands are a normal skill we train like any other. Work at your level on entries, holds and balance — no freestanding HS required to start.
Through the year we rotate through muscle-up foundations, front/back lever prep, planche basics, ring support, L-sit and core shapes, plus simple flows/combinations.
Many skills demand serious pull/push/core strength. L9 Skills includes targeted strength for each focus — but your main capacity is built in L9 Fitness. We highly recommend L9 Fitness — it’s the best way to get strong for Skills.
