Street Workout an der Rummelsburger Bucht

Inspired by the sports fields in American parks or beaches, more and more “playgrounds” for adults are popping up in Berlin. Anyone who is enthusiastic about sports and wants to stay fit using their own body weight can confidently skip the gym visit when the weather is good.

The Street Workout Park at Rummelsburger Bucht has everything you need for a good training session: push-up bars for a chiseled six-pack, parallel bars and many other bars at various heights where you can hang along or do other exercises to train your fitness.

Bodyweight exercises – calisthenics – are becoming more and more popular. In 2011, the first World Championship for Calisthenics/Street Workout was even held in Riga. On the internet, especially via YouTube and Facebook, many groups can be found presenting workouts and individual exercises. The great thing about these exercises is that no matter what your fitness level, you can simply start and try them out. And if the pull-up doesn’t work the first time, you just keep trying.

The Workout Park at Rummelsburger Bucht can be found directly behind the Senior and Therapy Center Haus an der Spree between Uferweg and Am Fischzug.
