What to know about gyms with a trial in Hamburg

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. Expect a sales conversation at the end: German gym contracts often run for 12 or 24 months, so take the price list home and read the terms before you sign. Contracts signed online must offer a cancellation button on the website, which makes ending a membership easier later.

Tips

  • Book your trial session in advance; most studios want an appointment.
  • Take the price list home instead of signing on the day.
  • Check the minimum term and notice period in the contract.
