Gym facilities in Germany before you sign a contract
Browse German studios by facility before you commit to a long membership.
German studios can be browsed by the facility you need, from a Probetraining and day tickets to saunas, yoga, Pilates and indoor cycling courses. Trial sessions are the most widely listed and saunas are more common than in most countries, while day tickets are rarer than elsewhere, a reflection of contract-based memberships.
Compare facilities before you sign: a sauna or course plan included in one studio's price can be a paid extra in the next.

Germany's gym features, city by city
A city page turns a national feature list into gyms you can reach locally.
German feature pages centre on large cities in the north and the capital region, where gyms list trial visits, saunas and yoga classes side by side. Choosing a city keeps a feature such as a day pass or a pool to the gyms in that place.
Gym features in countries beyond Germany
Check whether a day pass or a sauna is easier to find before you travel.
German gyms list trial visits widely but day passes less often than gyms in neighbouring countries such as Denmark and Poland. A look abroad shows which features to expect when you train away from home.
