Registration: How to / FitnessCard
1. Book a Start Up course/introductory course
Start Up courses and individual coaching sessions with a coach take place regularly at the Fitnesszentrum BergWerk. All further information on our Start Up courses and booking can be found here.
2. Book a FitnessCard
After the first Start Up appointment has been completed, the FitnessCard can be booked online. The corresponding printout must be presented each time it is used. Alternatively, you can have our coaches issue you with a membership card or add your barcode to your Uni Wuppertal app. To protect against misuse in the event of a lost card, a photo is taken of all members and stored for internal purposes only. If you do not wish to have a photo taken for verification purposes, we ask you to present your ID card, student/employee ID card and FitnessCard each time you join.
3. Flexible and free training
After the Start Up course and the purchase of the FitnessCard, you can now train flexibly at BergWerk during opening hours. The BergWerk staff are always available to answer any questions you may have about training and will look after you during free training sessions if you wish.

5 good reasons for the BergWerk
BergWerk offers much more than a modern training area with plenty of daylight and friendly trainers and trainees.
Our cosy atmosphere in the middle of the campus motivates you to stay on the ball.
Come along and get to know the BergWerk during a start up course. Whether you are a fitness beginner or have previous experience, we will meet you where you are.
You decide the duration of your FitnessCard. You can choose between a 6-month or a 12-month ticket. As a student, you can use the BergWerk as often as you like during opening hours for from €15 per month!
The term of your FitnessCard ends automatically, so you can't miss a cancellation period. When it expires, you can simply book a new card.
If you are completing an internship semester or spending a semester abroad, you can simply pause your FitnessCard (more on this under Training break).
When you start at BergWerk, we pick you up where you are and help you organise your effective training.
Based on an anamnesis, our qualified trainers will work with you to create a training plan and correct you in the execution of your exercises.
If you are interested, you can have your training plan adapted and optimised at any time (à TPO) and adjust any successes you have already achieved.
The condition of our body has a decisive influence on our mood, our attitude to life and our performance. If you are fit, you can tackle and overcome (university) challenges more easily. Treat yourself to an active break from everyday university life at BergWerk.
Can't motivate yourself to go to the gym on your own? Training with a training partner is often more motivating, more effective and also more instructive than training alone. In addition to our passion for training, we are all united by our affiliation with the BUW.
At BergWerk, you have the opportunity to get to know like-minded people in an informal setting right from the start. This often happens by itself at BergWerk.
Do physical impairments make it difficult for you to take part in sport?
You're in good hands with us: Get in touch with us, because we will be happy to advise you personally on the training options we can offer you. Because BergWerk is there for everyone!
Are you a guest lecturer or spending a semester abroad at the BUW?
No problem. All our trainers can also instruct you in English.
