Livestreams:
In order to participate in a livestream, you have to register in advance, because only then will you receive the access link to the livestream by email. You have the option to cancel your place up to 3 hours before the start of the course.
- How often can I do a trial session?
-
You can do a trial session with us once a time. Here you can find all information about our courses. If you have any questions, please send us an email to hello@the-bodyworkers.de or book your trial training directly via the class schedule or here:
- Can I do double lessons?
-
Sure, with a points card or a flatrate you can visit our place for two hours in a row. As an UrbanSportsClub or Gympass member, participation is unfortunately limited to one course per day. If you still want to do a double lesson, you can buy a points card. Our points card is valid forever.
- How will I be informed if a class is canceled?
-
The class schedule on the website is always up-to-date. If a class is canceled, it is definitely marked that way. You will also receive an email informing you that the class is canceled, but this only happens very rarely.
- What are your cancellation deadlines?
-
You can cancel courses booked independently via your account or via the partner apps. If you cancel within the cancellation period, there will be no costs, the credits / check-in will be credited back to you. If you exceed the cancellation deadline, the credit / check-in will be deducted from your quota.
Important information for all USC members:
If you DO NOT CANCEL and DO NOT SHOW UP, USC will charge you a penalty fee. We have no influence on that. So please definitely cancel if you cannot come.Please pay attention to this cancellation deadlines:
- studio- und outdoorclasses: 12 hours
- livestreams: 3 hours
- Courses are often fully booked. How does your waiting list work?
-
If a class is already fully booked, you can still book and put yourself on the waiting list. You will then be informed by email when you get a spot. Experience has shown that the probability of moving up is nearly 100%.
Because it is possible that you move up at very short notice, you should cancel your spot on the waiting list when it gets too tight for you, so that you don't lose your credit if you move up. If you don't move up, your credit will of course not be used.

To the classes
- I haven't been in sport for a long time, which courses are suitable for (re)entry?
-
If you don't feel so fit after a long break, these classes are particularly suitable for beginners: Back & Fascia Fit, Pilates, Damn Good Vinyasa Flow, Mama Fitness, Stretch & Tone, BBP Express, or Functional Circle.
The classes HIIT & Run, DEEPWORK, Cardio Pilates, athleticflow or Iron Pump require a high level of fitness, so we do not recommend these classes to start with after a long break.
We have described all our courses in great detail here and classified them in the categories STRENGTH & ENDURANCE, STRETCH & MOBILTY, DANCE & COORDINATION, RELAX & RECHARGE, so that you can find your way around.
If you are still not sure, please send us an email to hello@the-bodyworkers.de to discuss your individual situation and to find the most suitable courses for your fitness level.
- Can I participate on the classes while pregnancy?
-
If you did sport before pregnancy you can also be active during pregnancy. We recommend only doing light sport in the first 12 weeks, after that you can feel confident again. You can find more information about that here.
We have developed a special class for pregnant women that takes the needs of pregnancy into account. In the Mama Fitness workout, we do no jumps or excessive abdominal muscle training. It's a fitness class, so you'll work up a sweat and work out your muscles. Since the course is 100% tailored to pregnancy, unlike all other courses, you will get on your expense.
As long as you feel comfortable, you can attend many of the classes that you have attended before. But not all of our classes are suitable for pregnant women. You should therefore speak to your trainer beforehand and let them show you alternatives for jumping and abdominal muscle exercises. If in doubt, please send us an email in advance to hello@the-bodyworkers.de so that we can discuss your individual situation.
To be on the safe side, you should always discuss this with your doctor.
- Which classes do you recommend after pregnancy?
-
We strongly recommend that you first attend a post-natal training class, in which the pelvic floor is specifically strengthened and the diastasis rectus is closed. This is very, very important so that you can fully exercise again in the long term. You can start a postnatal training course from the 8th week (vaginal birth) or from the 12th week (cesarean section) after the birth.
By the way, our Mama Fitness class is also ideal for getting fit again after your first recovery (or parallel to it), for returning to your usual fitness routine. Often with the first regression, the basic requirements for a strong body are created, but fitness is not completely back, or the pelvic floor is still somewhat unstable. Because we do no jumps and excessive abdominal muscle training in fit with a baby bump, the course is wonderfully suitable for new mums to get fit again.
- I was injured, when can I take part in your classes again?
-
Only your doctor can answer that. Basically, you should be 100% fit and healthy again if you want to participate in power-workouts.
We also have classes that are definitely recommended during the healing process to build strength and flexibility again, for example Back & Fascia Release or Stretch & Tone - but this also should also be discussed with your doc.
If you have the Go from your doc, please send us an email to hello@the-bodyworkers.de so that we can discuss your individual situation and recommend classes to you, if necessary.
Injuries and illnesses must be reported to the trainer in advance. We try as best we can to respond to you individually and offer individual alternative exercises - but this is not always possible with group courses. Therefore, you should know your body so well that you can take a break on your own if it gets too much. It is better to start slowly, get your body used to the movement and strain again after a longer break, and gradually increase.
With us you can also be looked after individually. We offer personal training for rehabilitation after an injury and have specially trained trainers for this. Talk to us!
- Which classes are suitable for losing weight?
-
Many of our classes, which have a high cardio component, are suitable for losing weight. That would be for example:
- Which classes are suitable for building muscles?
-
To build muscle specifically, we recommend workouts that have a strong focus on strength training. That would be for example:
- Which classes are suitable to become more flexible?
-
In the classes Stretch & Tone Pilates and Damn Good Vinyasa Flow we work specifically on flexibility and mobility. In dynamic flows we stretch into the deep fibers of the body. We can particularly recommend athleticflow, a combination of high-intensity training (HIIT) and yoga flows. A gentle method to become more flexible and supple is our Back & Fascia Fit class.
- Are the classes also suitable for men?
-
YES! Men are very welcome in all of our classes and we also have our own changing room for men in our studio.
The classes are equally effective for men and women, regardless of whether you want to build strength, improve your condition or achieve more flexibility. We are happy when the groups are mixed. - Do you need previous knowledge?
-
No, you can come to all of our courses without previous knowledge. Our groups are very mixed - from newcomers to absolute fitness junkies. All of our trainers are trained to offer beginners a suitable training and explain all exercises in detail and correct your execution if necessary. Nevertheless, you should be injury-free, otherwise please contact us in advance!
We are happy to advise you to find the right course for you! Write us an email at hello@the-bodyworkers.de and tell us a little bit about yourself. We help you to improve slowly and make sure that your posture and execution are perfect!
- When is participation excluded?
-
- If you have an acute injury or illness, participation is excluded for your benefit.
- If you have just been vaccinated or donated blood, we also recommend a 1-2 day break before you start training again.
- It goes without saying, but let's say it at this point: If you are drunk or under the influence of strong medication, participation is excluded.
- If you feel sick, have cold symptoms, have been infected with Corona, or have come close to someone who is infected with Corona.
- What do I have to bring to the classes?
-
Comfortable sportswear, a towel and something to drink. For a few classes you also need sports shoes, which is always included in the class descriptions (e.g. for Shake & Tone, Iron Pump, Dance Workout and of course our outdoor courses). Please note that the studio may only be entered with clean indoor sports shoes. Most of our classes take place barefoot or in non-slip socks.
