On the 15th of June we left by car to catch our plane in Belgium to fly to Madrid for the 5th edition of the Street Workout Ultimate Battles! It wasn’t our first time visiting this amazing calisthenics competition, since we were also present at SWUB IV in 2022. This time we went with Eloy, Jarno and additionally Lars, Daniel and Valdas.

We all really enjoyed the show, met a lot of great athletes and even got to train with them at Parque Castilla – La Mancha in Getafe, Madrid. A lot of our experience can be watched in the following video’s created by the one and only Eloy Narings. These video’s are a pleasure to watch and also Jarno Calisthenics posted a lot of the SWUB V battles on his channel.
