Welcome to the Éire agus Calisthenics Podcast!
This episode we welcome Husam Alhanon - better known as Sam - to the pod!
Sam is the founder of Cali-X Studios in Belfast, which opened in 2014. This episode discussed how Sam began Calisthenics and his history with the sport.
We talked about Sam initially moving to Belfast, what that transition was like, and how sport served as a space that enabled him to become part of the area and gave him a sense of belonging and identity.
We also discuss his experiences with competition and what representing Ireland meant to him.
Great chat, big thanks to Sam for bringing us to his facility, and only big things still to come from him in the sport.
