FIBO is back and 2026 will be bigger than ever. From April 16 to 19, Cologne once again becomes the global hotspot for fitness. This year, calisthenics will play an even bigger role, bringing together athletes, beginners, and the entire community in one place.
If you are into bodyweight training or just thinking about getting started, the GORNATION booth will be one of the most exciting spots at the entire event. You can expect exciting challenges, some of the most well-known athletes in the scene, and an atmosphere that motivates you instantly.
What is the FIBO and Why It Matters for Calisthenics
FIBO is the world’s largest fitness expo and attracts visitors from all over the globe every year. It is the place where new trends emerge, brands present their latest innovations, and the fitness community connects in real life.
Over the past few years, calisthenics has grown rapidly and continues to attract more people who are looking for a simple but effective way to build strength. FIBO reflects this development perfectly. You will see more athletes, more competitions, and more people getting inspired to start their own journey.
What makes calisthenics especially appealing is its accessibility. You do not need complicated machines or a gym membership to begin. This is exactly why so many beginners are drawn to it and why events like FIBO are the perfect starting point.
GORNATION at FIBO 2026 - Where to Find Us
You will find GORNATION in Hall 10.2 at Booth A82, right in the middle of the action. Our booth is not designed to just showcase products. It is built as a place where you can move, challenge yourself, and connect with others.
Whether you want to test your strength, meet athletes you have seen online, or simply experience the energy of the calisthenics community, this is where everything comes together. The focus is always on participation and interaction, not just watching from the outside.
Calisthenics Action You Can’t Miss
The Calisthenics Cup - Freestyle & Endurance
One of the main highlights of the event will be the Calisthenics Cup. Athletes will compete in freestyle and endurance disciplines, showing completely different aspects of the sport.
Freestyle is all about creativity, dynamic movements, and impressive combinations. Endurance focuses on pushing physical limits through high repetitions and mental toughness. Even if you are new to calisthenics, watching these competitions will give you a clear idea of what is possible with consistent training.
Public Challenges for Everyone
A big part of the GORNATION experience at FIBO is that you are not just a spectator. You can actively participate in different challenges, regardless of your level.
There will be a variety of formats, including maximum handstand hold attempts, the popular Bring Sally Up challenge with pull ups and push ups, as well as weighted challenges like 20 kilogram pull ups and 40 kilogram dips. In addition, there will be team-based formats such as a two versus two race to complete 100 pull ups as fast as possible. You can also take part in a dip challenge where you have the chance to win exciting prizes, making it even more worth stepping up and giving your best.
Even if you are just starting out, these challenges are designed to be fun and motivating. The energy from the crowd and the shared experience with others often push you further than you would expect.
Athlete Battles & Live Shows
This year’s lineup brings together some of the most exciting names in calisthenics. On Sunday, Stan Browney will host live challenges on stage and involve the audience directly.
You will also see matchups like Max True taking on everyone in muscle ups and Bruno facing challengers in dips. One of the most anticipated battles will be Baki against Ludo in a weighted calisthenics showdown.
In addition, Melvin and Andry Strong will run live sessions where they challenge the audience and create a highly interactive atmosphere. These moments are not just about performance, but about bringing the community together.
Full Schedule & Event Highlights
The schedule, especially on Saturday and Sunday, is packed with activities throughout the entire day. There is always something happening, whether it is a competition, a challenge, or a live show.
It is definitely worth arriving early and planning some time at the booth to make sure you do not miss the highlights you are most interested in.
