BergWerk's philosophy is to focus on the core of effective fitness training - the training itself. This requires suitable equipment and effective instruction. This is where we put our focus and our energy. Distractions from media such as TV and the like are not part of our philosophy.

As we find music and the right beat for training very motivating, music is played at BergWerk.

If necessary, bring your own music - the BergWerk has a good EDUROAM connection and all cardio machines have appropriate storage and a USB port. If you want to lock your smartphone away safely afterwards, there are safe deposit boxes available in the foyer area.

You are welcome to accept our offer, e.g. to optimize your training plan or for personal training, but you can also simply train on your own. At the beginning of your training, a start-up course is mandatory to get to know the studio and to familiarize yourself with the equipment.

Our tip: Behind every top athlete is a corresponding coach. So take a look around the BergWerk team to find the right coach for you and your training goals.
