Fitness enthusiast and reviewer from Berlin

The Short Version

I am Sophie Müller, based in Berlin, and I have spent the last few years documenting my experiences at fitness clubs across Germany.

This site exists because I got tired of choosing gyms based on ads and vague recommendations, only to discover the reality differed from expectations. I wanted specific, honest information about what these places were actually like. Since I could not find it, I decided to create it.

Over a dozen Gyms Visited
Three Years Active
More than two hundred Classes Attended

How This Started

My fitness routine began in a small club near Fitnessstraße 12 in Berlin. It was not perfect, but it was accessible, affordable, and it helped me build consistency.

After that place closed, I noticed how quickly the fitness scene in Germany was evolving. New clubs opened, new concepts appeared, and marketing became louder than real member experience.

I started trying different gyms and classes, keeping notes after every visit. Over time those notes turned into this website, built to help others make clearer choices.

My Approach to Reviews

Every review on this site comes from real visits and real time spent inside the club. I focus on practical details that matter when you are choosing a membership.

When I review a fitness center, I typically:

  • Invest sufficient time to grasp routines, rush periods, and trends
  • Visit on multiple days and at various times
  • Experiment with different training formats and coaches
  • Regularly use facilities to assess cleanliness and comfort
  • Converse with other members about consistency and discrepancies
  • Take notes right after each visit

I revise reviews when major changes occur: renovations, changes in management, pricing updates, or new facilities. Each article displays the last update date to reflect how current the information remains.

What I Look For

My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what matters most to me when assessing a gym:

Comfort and privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a tranquil vibe?

Equipment quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there adequate variety? Are repairs handled promptly?

Crowd management: Is it possible to train during your preferred times without constant waits?

Clean facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and equipment surfaces. Cleanliness indicates how seriously management prioritizes the member experience.

Honest membership practices: Transparent pricing, clear rules, and no unexpected charges.

Beyond the Gym

Apart from training and writing, I reside and work in Berlin. This project aims to simplify fitness decisions and provide greater transparency for those seeking the right setting.
