What to know about gyms with a trial in Berlin

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

Book the trial online or by phone and bring sports clothes, clean indoor shoes and a towel.

Contracts signed online must offer a cancellation button on the website, which makes ending a membership easier later.

  • Take the price list home instead of signing on the day.
  • Check the minimum term and notice period in the contract.
