A great option for entertainment and fun while staying healthy during this summer is to make some fitness training.  Visiting a fitness studio in Berlin is a good option to endurance training, muscle training and bodybuilding.

If you are not sure about how to do it correctly, most of the fitness centers offer personal trainers. In addition to  personal training there are often  courses in sports such as aerobics or pilates. There are also some gyms that are for women only.

Here is a list of some alternatives:

One of the most famous is McFit, you can find it all around Berlin and the prices are relative cheap, the only small problem is that you need to make a contract of at least one year. 

Super Fit and Fitness First are also two of the most loved ones in Berlin. There are some complains about them but I think this depends on your own luck.


Do you know about a better training place that you would like to recommend?

Board games are great for unlocking your creativity and promote healthy brain function. If you are interested in buying or playing them, you should check out this places:

http://www.spielbrett-berlin.de   They have hundreds of games and they offer also game nights. I've never visited them but the pictures look promising. They have different stores around Berlin.

http://www.der-andere-spieleladen.com. You can come to this place and play some of your favorite games like Magic or yu-gi-oh. They are located in Prenzlauer alle.

http://www.spielwiese-berlin.de/. This is one of my favourites. They meet every monday at 19:00 and they play for many hours until midnight. You pay a small fee to play but you can stay as long as you want. They have a huge collection of games that you can also buy. It is located in the beautiful Simon-Dach area of the Friedrichshain district.

Going around Berlin by bike is a nice alternative. It could be a little bit dangerous if you are not used to but it is also a lot of fun. Besides reducing some calories after eating some famous "curry wurst" ;-)

The standard tourist price is 10€ but you can find them for less. Here are some options: You usually need to leave your id card or passport for the rent.

Since many people request a one day plan to see the most of Berlin I summarized some activities that you could do:


- Start with the free tour of whole Berlin at 11:00 ( Cost approx. 5 €) New berlin tours

- You will be left at the garden "Lust Garten", from there you will have one hour or maybe two to visit one of the most exciting museums in Berlin: Pergamon Museum If you have enough luck to be on thursday the museum closes at 20:00

- Try some real German food at this great restaurant located in the S-bahn Tier Garten: TiergartenQuelle

-  If you are not already tired  and you are on the weekend you can go dancing: Dancing in Berlin
