Getting in shape should above all be fun, and in Berlin there is something for every taste. At Rideberlin in Mitte, indoor cycling meets a power dumbbell workout and rousing music, while the adidas SPORTS BASE Berlin on Schleusenufer in Kreuzberg has become a home for runners and urban athletes. If you want to tailor your training individually, you are in good hands at the Figurstudio Pankow. And if you prefer to train outdoors, you will find free equipment right in the middle of the woods on the fitness trail in the Grunewald. From the studio to the fresh air, it is less about the perfect bikini figure than about a better sense of your body. How do you bring movement into your week?

I look for sport that is fun and does not just make me stare at the scales. It is important to me that I am well guided and feel comfortable in the group. I like variety, from the studio to a session in the fresh air. And I pay attention to whether a place motivates me to come back rather than putting me under pressure.
