Functional Fitness

Functional fitness means the optimal coordination of our body. Simple equipment such as suspension trainers, push-up handles and gymnastics rings enables a comprehensive and challenging full-body workout. This not only improves coordination but also makes it possible to perform increasingly complex exercises and movement sequences. Training with kettlebells and other free weights links muscle groups rather than working them only in isolation. Functional training develops a healthy, capable body.

Free Weights and Bodyweight

More challenging training with your own bodyweight. Basic bodyweight exercises such as pull-ups, dips and push-ups are developed into more complex and demanding variations, which are then consolidated. These are complemented by classic powerlifting exercises such as squats, shoulder presses and bench presses, as well as swinging exercises with Power Bags, Indian Clubs and Steel Maces. Strength gains, mobility and endurance are kept in balance. Training with plenty of variety and variations in our fitness area!

Building Skills

We believe in self-directed training under professional guidance. People who have received an induction and feel confident in their technique can use our fitness area independently and at their own pace outside class times. More information about the equipment is available on the fitness area pages.

Prevention Rather Than Illness

In addition to general recreational sports, we are seeking certification for our courses as prevention programmes. Following positive changes to the DOSB’s Sport Pro Gesundheit project and the Zentrale Prüfstelle Prävention, holistic programmes have become possible within our provision.
