Great old-school "east-German" bodybuilding gym way out in Weissensee, not far from Prenzlberg. I think the only other real "bodybuilding" gym in Berlin is Powerhouse in Charlottenberg (also supposed to be good, I haven't tried them). Staff and patrons are great. Everyone knows what they're doing here, no gym newbies. 2 squat racks. Kitschy 80s decor. Clean locker/shower area. I believe it had a mini-sauna, but can't recall. A number of the patrons are competitive bodybuilders. Equipment is excellent and in perfect repair, with a very complete array of dumbbells and free-weights. It is not an "olympic"-style gym, no bumper plates or anything. Not much cardio, what they have is used mostly for warm-ups/cool-downs for the weights. They offer very reasonably priced one-month pay-in-cash no-contract memberships in addition to longer/standard terms (whenever I'm in Berlin for more than a few days I get a 1 month membership, it pays for itself quickly). Noone speaks English, but it's not necessary if you're paying one month or one day at a time (I wouldn't sign contracts if you can't read, understand & discuss the terms, but that goes for anywhere). Only down-sides are the short hours and how far out from the center it is - but while you're out here, head out to the Weissensee park & lake for a picnic or a walk, it's beautiful. read more
