Fitness Company Berlin

2 Jan Knizia - a month ago

Very local feel and apparently the only gym left in Berlin that is offering weekly memberships. Equipment is okay although there could be some more options for powerlifting (especially racks are missing, there's only one). Apart from this it's not too crowded. Gym staff at the entrance mainly consists of two youngsters who do not seem to be involved too much in what's going on on the gym floor. No coaches walking around (at least the last two times I was there). Most astonishing thing: we had 35°C outside and I asked for water from the dispenser and was prompted with a 1.50€ fee. As soon as I declined I was laughed at and sent to the toilet to get myself some water. LoL, not used to that standard from other gyms.

It has a very local feel, meaning they can come across as a bit rude and wary towards "new" people. The owner discreetly checked on me a few times to make sure i wasn't breaking any rules.
Hip nomads might not feel at home.
Other than that it's not bad, everything is clean and well-maintaned.
The step class was welcoming but since it's a closed-knit group not beginner friendly because they've been doing the choreo for some weeks prior.

Friendly members and good community. There is not a lot of equipment but it usually not too busy. There isn't any music played in the main space but this is down to taste (I prefer it). Unfortunately let down by (mostly) very rude staff, especially if your German isn't at conversational levels yet.

On top of this, they operate on the normal German gym membership values of 3 month notice for cancellation - miss it and you're looking at another year's worth of fees, even if you've no intention of using it again.
This is relatively standard but there are gyms where it isn't the case. Find one of them instead.

Edit: Removed a star as they attempted to have this (I believe quite fair) review taken down by claiming they had no record of me and that I was lying. (I supplied correspondence emails and contract scan to prove otherwise.)

Edit 2: They have made another attempt to remove this review using largely the same arguments, as well as citing my previous edit.

Edit 3: They sent a legal letter directly to me stating that I needed to remove my review, agree to some additional terms, and to pay for their legal costs, or that they would seek further legal action. I retained a lawyer and responded, declining. They then sent an additional legal letter stating they would waive the fees but keeping the other conditions, again with the potential of legal action should I fail to do so. I have again declined.

Very helpful and professional trainers. The atmosphere is easygoing. And I especially like the community atmosphere which I never find in other gyms. People say hello to each other in the locker rooms and sauna. One time I wasn’t feeling well because I stayed in the sauna room too long. I was immediately surrounded by gym goers and staff helping me. This is the gym where I feel the most comfortable in to exercise. I will keep going there.

They don't have a free trial class. And it seems hard to get the availability of an instructor for a consultation appointment. Moreover, they don't allow you to work out unless you mandatorily change your clothes and shoes at the gym, despite you going there in your gym suit. I also felt their attitude to be somewhat rude and condescending, especially if you are an immigrant in Berlin

Somehow Maps mixed my review of this place with another of a restaurant I did, but really appreciate Fitness company to let me know (and such a nice way to do so too! Updating now!
I have trained here several time through Urban sportsclub and definitely enjoyed ot a lot! The attention is great, the equipment is in top shape and is varied enough to have diverse trainings. Also not too crowded, which is nice.
Also to the gym, doing my review in english for most people to get :)
