💪 Introduction to Thenx Testimonials
Chris Heria introduces the new 'Thenx Testimonials' series, which documents real-life stories of people who have transformed their bodies using the Thenx program. In this episode, Chris introduces Andres and Federico, who have been training with Thenx for three months. Both share their initial experiences, motivation, and how they started their calisthenics journey.
👊 Federico and Andres Begin Calisthenics
Federico and Andres, both from Venezuela, talk about their introduction to calisthenics. Federico, 22 years old, explains that before starting calisthenics, he wasn't physically active and spent most of his time at home. Andres shares a similar story, having been inactive after moving to Miami for university. Both agree that calisthenics reignited their motivation, making them feel happier and more confident as they began transforming their bodies.
🏋️♂️ Variety and Challenge in Calisthenics
Andres reflects on his experience trying different workouts, sports, and gyms before discovering calisthenics. He explains that, unlike other fitness routines, calisthenics offers a new challenge every day, making workouts unique and exciting. Federico recalls the intensity of his first calisthenics session, particularly the warm-up, which felt extremely challenging. Over time, the warm-ups became easier, and both Federico and Andres found themselves getting stronger and more motivated.
🔥 First Day Struggles and Progress
Federico and Andres share their struggles from their first workout, especially the difficulty of completing a muscle-up on the first day. While Federico initially struggled, Andres managed to perform a muscle-up, surprising himself. Federico talks about how he could only do basic exercises like pull-ups and push-ups at the start but now, after three months, can perform advanced skills such as handstands, muscle-ups, and back levers.
🚀 Motivation and Transformation
Both athletes emphasize how calisthenics has transformed their bodies and mindset. Federico works out to feel better and improve his physique, while Andres finds it a way to relax and de-stress at the end of the day. They discuss how their strength and endurance have significantly increased, allowing them to do more reps and complete more advanced exercises than they ever imagined.
🤸♂️ Learning Advanced Skills: The Handstand
Andres talks about mastering the handstand, one of the most challenging calisthenics skills. He explains that performing a handstand requires perfect body alignment and mental focus, with everything from hand positioning to foot placement playing a crucial role. Both athletes emphasize the importance of consistent practice to perfect the move.
🏆 Tracking Progress: Push-Ups and Pull-Ups
Federico and Andres reflect on their progress over the past three months. At the beginning, Federico could do 60 push-ups in three minutes, and now he can do 115. Similarly, his pull-up count has doubled from 30 to 60 in the same time span. They attribute this progress to the consistent and varied nature of calisthenics training.
🎯 The Importance of Starting Now
Both Andres and Federico stress the importance of starting, whether you're using the Thenx app or joining a gym. They acknowledge that the beginning can be difficult and frustrating, but over time, challenges become easier, and the results are incredibly rewarding. They encourage others to take the first step and remind them that progress will come with hard work.
🧠 Calisthenics: Physical and Mental Benefits
Andres highlights the unique aspects of calisthenics compared to traditional weightlifting, explaining that calisthenics not only builds strength but also improves mental focus and coordination. Every move engages the entire body, requiring a balance of physical and mental effort. Federico adds that the skills learned in calisthenics are long-lasting and contribute to overall fitness, unlike simple weightlifting routines.
💥 Reflecting on Their Body Transformation
Both Federico and Andres share how their bodies have transformed in just three months. Federico, who used to be skinny and unhappy with his appearance, now feels more flexible, resistant, and muscular. Andres reflects on his progress as well, noting how his body has gained definition in his arms, chest, and abs.

Transcripts
- What's up Elite Thenx athletes.
It's Chris Heria,
welcome to another video of official Thenx.
Today is our first installment to our new series,
Thenx Testimonials.
Where we document the stories of real people,
just like you
that have made incredible body transformations
using the Thenx program.
So let's go ahead and take a look at Andres and Federico,
who have been training now with Thenx
for the past three months.
- My name is Federico Almandoz
I'm from Venezuela, 22-years-old
and I started calisthenics like three months ago.
- I'm Andres Haddad.
I'm from Venezuela as well.
And I started calisthenics, like three months ago, too.
(light rock music)
- I heard about Thenx, from a friend referred to me.
He was in another Thenx gyms and he told me about it,
like, you should go to this one, it's near your house.
And if you like the calisthenics,
you should go and try this gym.
Three months ago, before I started calisthenics,
I was doing nothing.
Like, all day, in my house, going to school, that's it.
Eating a lot.
Nothing.
And then I try this
and it feels like motivator like to keep going.
Like, I feel better with myself.
Like, more happy, outgoing.
Like, I don't know, my body's getting better.
Like I wanted to like burden myself.
That's my motivation.
(techno music)
- I started working out when
I was like in high school,
I was really thin and I didn't wanted to be that thin.
So I started going to the gym.
I got a personal trainer.
Then I came here to the States to university.
I didn't have time to go to a gym or to any sports,
so those were three years of doing nothing,
three or four years of doing nothing.
Then I moved to Miami.
When I moved I started running, going to the gym sometimes,
but sometimes I went for 10 minutes
and I got bored and then left.
I did all the possible sports you can do in your life.
Like, I went to the gym,
I played soccer, tennis, and everything
and I got bored of everything.
And then since I started calisthenics,
every workout is different.
There's no workout that looks like the other one.
I feel like everyday you come
without knowing what you're gonna do,
what you're gonna learn.
(techno music)
- [Federico] The first day was like hell.
- [Andres] Yeah.
- But then the next day I became motivated,
like to keep coming,
like you want to test yourself, you know?
So...
- One thing I remember about the first day was the warm up.
I was already tired.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- I couldn't believe that that was the warm up.
And now that the warm up is just something chill,
something fun to do.
- [Federico] And then after class,
sometimes we don't even get tired.
Like we just skip one trying some new things.
- At the beginning, our workout was like hell,
it was impossible.
And now it's getting easier, easier, easier
and we challenge ourselves to do better.
So in the warm up it was very challenging
and then Stephan told us
that we were going to learn how to do a muscle up.
- Yep. - On the first day.
So I was like,
how am I going to do a muscle up on the first day?
And I did it.
I couldn't believe.
- [Federico] When I first came here,
the only thing I could do was like pull ups, push ups,
like the basic ones.
The first day I don't even do the muscle up.
I was back there,
I just did the normal rounds of the training.
Well, I work out
because I want to feel better with myself,
have a better body, look better.
- [Andres] I work out because it's a getaway from the day.
At the end of the day you come here, you relax,
you get away from everything
and just calisthenics for one, two hours.
And you have fun, you get better, feel better,
then you go home very tired
and just wanting to sleep and that's it.
- [Federico] Now I can do like 20 pull-ups, 50 push ups
and other exercises, like muscle ups,
back lever, handstands.
And the thing that I feel like
I never do it at the beginning
but now I feel like I can do more than that.
Nothing's impossible for you.
Anything that you want, you can get.
You need to work for it.
It's not gonna be easy, in front of you.
Thenx, if you do it by yourself
it's not the same way if someone help you.
Like here, in Thenx,
the trainers are helping me to achieve my goals.
Like, if I wasn't going to want do it by myself
I don't know, maybe it would seem like a year to do it.
For here it took three months.
(techno music)
- For the handstand, for example, at the beginning
we learned how to do the handstand in the wall.
That was the first step.
And then...
we really wanted to do the handstand without the wall.
So we kept training, we kept training
and my opinion, I think that the handstand
is the skill that you need to practice the more.
The more and the more.
You need a perfect position,
you've gotta know how to do your hands,
you've gotta know where to see,
your mind has to be in a certain setting,
let's say like that.
Your feets pointing to a certain way.
Like, if your feet are not perfect,
you're not going to do a handstand.
So, it's really difficult.
And you've gotta think all that stuff at the same moment.
So that's the hardest part.
(techno music)
Every Friday we do three minutes of each exercise
to see our progress.
And at the beginning, in three minutes,
I could do, what?
60 push-ups.
And now my record was 100 and 15 push-ups in three minutes.
So, yeah, it's a huge difference in three months.
- For me, it was like 50 push-ups in three minutes
and then, I don't know, a hundred push-ups in three months.
For pull-ups, 30 pull-ups in three minutes.
Now I do like 60.
(techno music)
(techno music)
- The first thing is to start.
Go for it.
Even if you're with the app or even if you come into a gym.
You just need to do it now.
You're gonna lose a lot of nerve if you don't start now.
- First step is to start.
That's how we started also.
Sometimes it can be difficult, it's not always easy.
It can be frustrating, like, when you cannot do something,
or when you don't get the repetitions you want.
But, at the end you're gonna get it if you work hard,
and it's gonna feel really great,
and that's the fun part about it too.
Getting what you couldn't do before.
(techno music)
People always have to remember that what's hard today
in three months is gonna be easy.
And then you're gonna feel so great
because you said, "Three months, I couldn't do this
"or I could barely do this and now it's something
"really easy for me, so that's great."
On the gym, you may do some weights, something
but it's not a skill,
it's not something yet that you're gaining.
Here, in calisthenics,
even though you may be doing chest, or back, or something,
you're working out all your body
because you have all your body tense,
all your body together,
like if you're over the bars, all your body is stretched.
It's working your whole body to train.
You need to have the skills,
you need to think about it.
It also works on your mind.
(techno music)
- Well, what I wanted to be before Thenx,
I was super skinny, like,
I don't know, I didn't like my body.
But then, now in three months,
I see like, I love getting better in my body.
I definitely want it.
I'm more flexible.
I have more resistance.
My muscles are bigger.
Now I can do like a lot of skills,
like handstands, muscle ups, I've never done it before.
- Yeah, at the beginning
my body didn't have a particular form,
it was just a regular body, a thin body.
And after three, after these three months,
I feel like my body has form,
my arms, my chest, my abs,
everything is getting ripped as it should be.
(techno music)
- [Chris] Alright, I think that's a go.
Do you guys have any last words?
- Join Thenx.
(laughing)
(techno music)
- Alright, so there you have it,
Andres and Federico's amazing,
