Why group classes

A fixed appointment carries you further than a good resolution

Training alone makes it easy to put the session off until tomorrow. In a class, the time is set, someone leads, and the group doesn't wait for motivation.

In a class, you don't have to figure out where to start or when to stop. The session has a beginning, a work phase and an end, and the instructor keeps an eye on your form. Especially after a longer break, this is the easier way back: you arrive, take your place and join in.

People who work full-time especially appreciate the predictability. A class sits in your calendar like an appointment, takes a manageable amount of time, and is then done – no waiting around for individual machines.

  • Fixed time instead of open-ended training planning
  • Guidance from the team, even for basic exercises
  • Exercises can be made easier or more demanding
  • Group in the room, but everyone at their own pace
  • No personal training plan needed to join in
  • Combines well with equipment training

The offering

Four class families, one shared principle

Strength, endurance, back and mobility, and beginner classes: each family has its own focus, but everywhere technique comes before weight and speed.

Strength

Full-body training with dumbbells, resistance bands and your own body weight. Squats, pulling and pushing exercises are first explained at rest, and only afterwards is load added. Those who want more go heavier; those who need to be careful stick with body weight.

Focus
Muscle building, basic exercises
Intensity
medium to high
Complements
Equipment training

Endurance

Sessions alternating between exertion and rest, so that every participant stays at their own pace. The instructor gives a gentler and a more demanding variant for each exercise, so the group stays together without anyone overexerting.

Focus
Fitness, cardiovascular system
Intensity
medium to high
Structure
Intervals with breaks

Back and mobility

Calm sessions for the core, hips and shoulders – strengthening the deep muscles, stretching and mobilisation with a mat, band and foam roller. Ideal for anyone who sits a lot and comes home stiff from the office in the evening.

Beginner courses

The course for your first step: a small repertoire of exercises, plenty of explanation, a gentle pace. You'll get to know the movements that recur in all the other courses – and can then decide where to go from there.

Equipment

All you need is a towel and some water

Mats, bands, dumbbells and rollers are provided in the class room and cleaned after every session – you only need to bring a little yourself.

How your first class works

From checking the class schedule to the cool-down: these five steps show you what happens before, during and after a class session with us.

  1. 1

    Reserve your spot

    The classes run in fixed groups with a limited number of participants. You can book your spot up to seven days in advance via the studio app or at the front desk. Cancelling up to two hours before the start frees up the spot for someone else.

  2. 2

    Arrive ten minutes early

    The first time, we'll briefly ask about your previous experience, any back or knee issues, and your current training goals. This way, the instructor knows from the start what to look out for with you.

  3. 3

    Warm-up and technique

    Every session starts with around ten minutes of mobilisation and warm-up. For classes involving weights or equipment, the instructor demonstrates the movement with a light load beforehand, before the actual programme begins.

  4. 4

    Main part with two levels

    Every exercise is announced in an easier and a more challenging variation — for example, squats with or without added weight. You decide anew for each set and can switch at any time without losing the rhythm.

  5. 5

    Cool-down and feedback

    The last five minutes are for stretching and rolling out. Afterwards, the instructor will tell you which format suits you best next and how many sessions per week make sense for you as you get started.
