Calisthenics Showcases Global Potential at the 2025 World Fitness Championships in Santa Susanna, Spain
From November 13-17, 2025, the IFBB World Fitness Championships in Santa Susanna, Spain turned into a showcase of what the future of fitness looks like and calisthenics was front and center.
A major spotlight hit when WSWCF President Rolands Kikors arrived as an official guest of Dr. Rafael Santonja, the IFBB President. This is more than a courtesy invitation, it’s a signal. Two of the world’s most influential fitness bodies are finally syncing up.
This partnership is setting the foundation for:
• Joint world-class events
• Unified athlete development
• Shared training ecosystems
• Bigger global exposure for calisthenics
Huge credit goes to Ukraine for driving this breakthrough:
Viktor Kozhushko, Maksym Prykhodko, and , the catalysts behind the new WSWCF-IFBB bridge.
What happened on stage proved the momentum is real. The calisthenics exhibition featured teams and champions from Romania, Ukraine, Switzerland, and the Jordanian National Team, which took home two first-place wins in the World Fitness Challenge.
Bottom line:
Santa Susanna wasn’t just an event, it was a turning point. Calisthenics is scaling up, the world is watching, and the next chapter is going to hit even harder.
