Training in Dortmund, with guidance instead of being left on your own
Puls Fitness combines equipment training, classes and personal guidance in one place. Whether you're just starting out or coming back after a long break, you'll get an induction, a plan and a dedicated contact person with us.
Our offer
Five pillars, one place to train
Equipment training, classes and personal support work together with us: those who start in a class also find their way around the equipment – our trainers know both sides.

Equipment training
Strength and endurance equipment in the open training area. Before your first session, we'll show you the seating position, weight and range of motion for every machine in your plan.

Classes
Classes in a fixed group in our own class room – from gentle mobility work to strengthening with dumbbells. You can join in any week, no prior experience needed.
Learn more
Personal support
A dedicated point of contact accompanies your training: creating a plan, correcting technique, adjusting weights. You can arrange appointments directly at the front desk or by phone.
Learn more
Trial session
An appointment where you can see the studio at your own pace, ask questions and train for the first time. No follow-up commitment required, just bring sports clothing and a towel.

Membership
A membership that includes the training area and classes. We'll discuss terms and durations in a personal conversation – tailored to your training rhythm.

Two starting points, one entry path
Most people who come to us haven't trained in a while, or have little predictable free time. Both can be addressed – with small starting weights and training times that fit around the working day.
Returning trainees: start calmly, then build up
After years without training, it's not the weight that matters but clean movement. We start with a few machines, short sessions and a technique check at your second appointment.
- First plan with four to six exercises instead of a full circuit
- Weights are only increased once your form is solid
- Beginner classes where pace and volume are adjusted
- More on the Returning Trainees page

Working professionals: training that fits your day
If you train between shifts, after work and around family life, you need short routes and fixed times. Your plan is designed so a full session fits even into a tight hour.
- Compact plans for two training days a week
- Class times in the early morning and evening in the class schedule
- Location at Industriestraße 40 with parking right at the studio
- More on the Working Professionals page
How the start works
Four steps to your fixed plan
Between your inquiry and your first independent training session, we have four appointments – we describe the whole process on the Process page.
First appointment
How your trial session works
Your first appointment at Puls Fitness lasts around 90 minutes and doesn't start at the equipment, but with a conversation.
Five Steps from Call to First Plan
- 1
Registration and Preparation
You register by phone or via the contact form and let us know your preferred appointment time. Bring comfortable sportswear, clean indoor shoes, a towel and a water bottle. If you're being treated by a doctor for blood pressure, back, joint issues or a surgery, jot down the key points beforehand – this saves follow-up questions during the appointment.
- 2
Discussion of Your Starting Point
For about 20 minutes we talk about your daily routine: how many hours you sit, when you last trained regularly, whether you have any complaints, and how many sessions per week are realistic. This determines whether you start with two full-body sessions or begin with a class.
- 3
Check and Movement Test
We measure weight, resting heart rate and blood pressure, and look at simple movements: squats, rows, shoulder raises. This lets us see which joints move freely and where we should initially work with a smaller range of motion. The test is not a performance test – no one has to go to their limit.
- 4
First Training Round
You complete a shortened full-body plan on five to six machines. We adjust seat height, levers and stops to your body dimensions and note every setting so you don't have to search again next time. We deliberately choose a low weight – technique comes first.
- 5
Review and Decision
At the end, we discuss what went well and what we should adjust. You receive your plan as a printout and in the studio app. Whether you become a member is a decision you can make calmly at home – we work without any pressure to sign up during the appointment.
Fees
What a Membership Costs
With us, the fee depends on two things: the contract term and how much personal support you want. Classes are included in all plans – there's no surcharge for individual class formats. In addition, there's a one-time start fee that covers the initial check, training plan and chip card.
