Bars Over 9000

The Club

Our story

Our beginnings

What started as a few sessions in the park is now a growing community with its own gym, fixed training times and a shared goal: to get more people excited about calisthenics and to grow together.

How we grew

BarsOver9000 was born during the pandemic. Since then we have trained together, grown as a team and built, piece by piece, a movement that is about more than sport.

Where the “Over 9000” meme comes from

In a famous scene from the anime Dragon Ball Z, the Saiyan Vegeta measures Son Goku's power level – and shouts:

“It’s over 9000!”
