Do I need a pull-up bar to start calisthenics?
Not to start. Squats, push-ups, bridges and planks need no equipment. You can also use a sturdy table or resistance bands for rows.
A doorframe bar or a bar at a park is useful once you want to progress pulling strength. It is a worthwhile and inexpensive addition.
