Where does Caliathletics ship from, and how long does it take?

From Poland. The shop states 1 to 3 business days of processing, then 2 to 5 business days in the EU, 2 to 7 in the UK and 3 to 7 for the USA, Canada and the rest of the world. My pair of parallettes arrived in France eight days after the order.

Can I return a Caliathletics product?

Yes, within 14 days of delivery, without giving a reason. You pay the return shipping, and the refund goes back to the original payment method within 14 days of the parcel reaching them. The statutory two-year warranty applies on top of that.

Does Caliathletics publish the dimensions of its products?

Not always. The wall-mounted pull-up bar has a full spec sheet, including the distance from the wall. The dip bars and the rings do not list the adjustment range, the diameter or the load rating, so ask before ordering if a number matters to you.

Which Caliathletics product have you tested?

The Wooden Parallettes Mini, bought with my own money and used for a month. The measurements and the verdict are in the test linked from this page.

Caliathletics: Calisthenics Equipment Brand

Who is behind the brand

Caliathletics is a Polish company, Caliathletics sp. z o.o., shipping from Poland. The brand first got known for its training programs: beginner, intermediate, advanced, handstand, muscle-up, weighted calisthenics, plus a 90-day transformation challenge. The equipment came later, and a good share of its buyers arrive through those programs. The site gives neither a founding date nor a founder’s name, so I am not making them up.

What they make

The catalog covers the basics of a home setup. The parallettes come in wood, in two lengths (Mini and Medium), and in a low all-steel version with a 49 cm foam grip 11 cm off the floor. The rings are wooden, with black straps carrying teal markings. The dip station is the adjustable one in the range, sold as a pair with anti-slip pads and foam grips. For pull-ups, a compact wall-mounted bar and a ceiling bar. A wide static bar rounds it off for holds and front lever work.

The pricing sits at the budget end. My Mini pair cost 39.20 euros with a discount code, 49 euros without. The site does not say where the products are made.

What to check before you order

Three choices come up in the range. For parallettes, the Mini is the 30 cm pair and the Medium the long one: the extra length is margin for the hands in handstand push-ups, and the Mini is the pair that fits in a bag. The Low Metal Parallettes, all steel with a 49 cm foam grip 11 cm off the floor, are for those who want a long grip and a bit more height. For pull-ups, the wall bar leaves 53.5 cm from the wall, enough for pull-ups and tight for muscle-ups; the ceiling bar depends on how high your ceiling is.

What you cannot check from the product page: the dip station lists neither its adjustment range nor its assembled dimensions, and the rings show no diameter, strap length or load rating. If you are tall or heavy, write to customer service before ordering. It matters, because returns are at your cost.

The practical side: orders leave Poland after 1 to 3 business days of processing, then take 2 to 5 business days in the EU from 8 euros, 2 to 7 in the UK. You can return a product within 14 days, shipping paid by you, with the refund within 14 days of the parcel reaching them. Two-year statutory warranty. Discount codes circulate through the brand’s programs and newsletter: my Mini pair cost 39.20 euros instead of 49 with one, so look for a code before paying full price.

Who it suits

Someone building a first setup without spending much. The Mini parallettes are a good compact pair for planche leans and handstands, and their low height helps when you are learning to balance. The wall bar is a reasonable pick if 53.5 cm of clearance covers what you do.

It is not the brand to choose if you want complete spec sheets before buying, or a tall pair of parallettes to work under the bar.

My tests

I tested the Wooden Parallettes Mini for a month, at 73 kg, on parquet and tiles. The wood holds without chalk, the pads do not slip, and nothing has moved. The limit is the room under the bar: at 7 cm high, there is no low straddle and no L-sit to handstand transition. The full test, with the six caliper measurements, is linked from the product card below.
