From barre to boxing and calisthenics to circuit pump, there are enough workouts these days that you could do a class every day and never repeat yourself. Challenge accepted? Then you might want to try out the ClassPass app, which lets you book a huge variety of workouts all over Berlin (and beyond) hassle free. Using the platform is dead easy: you can search and browse classes across the city, view the schedules and reserve your place by using credits that come with your monthly plan. You can visit the same studio as often as you want and there’s no signing in or scanning when you arrive for class. We tested out the 8am spinning session at Becycle in Mitte, spending 45 minutes getting on a sweat to pounding techno and pulsing LED lighting. Intense and full of positive energy, the class was just the boost we needed to kick off the weekday (our thighs are still burning three days later). We also dropped by the sleek and stylish Beyond Bln Studio in Kreuzberg for an early-evening reformers pilates class. Using a special spring-loaded machine, you can choose your own adventure by adjusting the intensity and fine-tuning your stretches.
The classes gave us a taste for beautifully-designed spaces, something you’ll also find at airy and modern Hagius (movement classes and yoga) and zen-filled OHIA (meditation and mindfulness). All these and around 400 other Berlin studios and clubs can be booked using the app. And if you are heading out of town, you can keep your sport routine going by using ClassPass in 30 countries all over the world. With all these options you’re ready to spin, stretch and flex your way to reaching your fitness goals (or not: it’s about the journey, remember).
