Since becoming a parent, finding time for me, while also juggling work and family life has been one of the bigger challenges. Not exactly a new problem, but one Victoria Densing and Verena Schwarz, founders of Mini Movers Club decided to tackle head-on. Their solution: a sports and social club as a third place for families – running exercise classes for kids and adults simultaneously, under one roof. This means while your child is letting off steam with songs and their own child-friendly hip-hop class, you have time to focus on you. Join a class (pilates, weights, HIIT or a posture-focused “Healthy Back”), or don’t. Sit down, have a coffee, read a few pages, answer those emails. For the little ones (4–6 and 6–8), the signature class mixes mindful movement with moments of calm (think: songs, dance and reflection). Guided by experienced instructors like Sophie and Annabelle – parents can take a moment to themselves. Younger kids (2–4) can join “Mini & Me”, a 45-minute session of movement and sensory play designed to be fun for both child and accompanying adult. And soon: classes for babies (0–2) and parents/caregivers are coming up, meaning no one is left out at this club. Right now, you’ll find the pop-up at Adidas Sports Base in Kreuzberg – a beautiful spot with high ceilings, lots of wood and plenty of room to move. Come fall season, the plan is to settle into a permanent home. In the meantime, they’re celebrating the season: Easter specials like “Hoppel Parcours” and a themed Mini Movers Signature class are running in the first two weeks of April 2026. And because this club isn’t just about getting a workout in – it’s about connection, community and peer support, there’s a range of community events around the topics of health, parenthood, relationships and movement coming soon.
