You’re currently visiting us in Berlin - whether for a client meeting, a conference, or just a few days of sightseeing. Your suitcase is unpacked, and your schedule is packed - because your usual workout routine often gets left behind at home. But it’s easy to fit in some exercise even during your stay in Berlin—you just need to know how.
The biggest mistake people make when traveling: all or nothing. It’s either the full workout routine like at home, or no exercise at all. But often, much less is enough during your stay to keep you fit and alert. Here are eight tips for staying active during your stay with us:
You can fit in 15 minutes of exercise a day almost anywhere—a quick bodyweight workout in your room with push-ups, squats, and planks requires no equipment, just a little space next to the bed. The good news: Our apartments offer plenty of space, even in our smallest category.
Walk short distances instead of calling a taxi, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Plus, you’ll get to know the city better this way than from a car window.
A short walk—perhaps along the banks of the Spree or through the nearest park—will wake you up just as much as your first cup of coffee—and it’s a great start to a busy day.

It weighs almost nothing, fits in any bag, and turns your hotel room into a mini gym.
Don’t spend your lunch break on your phone; instead, step outside for a moment, stretch, and take a few steps. That’s often more beneficial than an extra ten minutes of screen time.
It doesn’t have to be the full routine. If you only manage half of your usual workout while traveling, you’ve still done more than nothing.
If you don’t want to go without a real gym during your stay, you don’t have to. Through our partnership with Aspira, you can work out there during your stay in Berlin. It’s just a 15-minute walk from our location to the gym.
Aspira is your sanctuary in the heart of the city and also the largest club of its kind in Europe. Spread across six floors, it offers spacious workout areas, a pool, and personalized fitness programs with qualified instruction. In addition, there are areas for working and networking, a rooftop terrace, and a spa for rest and relaxation.

It’s best to stick to realistic, small routines rather than big plans: 15 to 20 minutes of exercise a day is often enough—a quick workout in your room, a walk, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. What matters isn’t the duration of your workout, but that you stick with it, even if it’s less than what you’d do at home.
Yes, no problem. Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges, and planks are enough for an effective workout. All you need is a little space next to your bed—no equipment required.
A good foundation: push-ups (chest/arms), squats (legs), lunges (legs/balance), planks (core), and jackknives or crunches (abs). Combined into a circuit with several rounds, this provides a complete full-body workout without any equipment.
The easiest way is to build exercise right into your day instead of treating it as a separate appointment: take a walk on your way to a meeting, do some quick stretches between calls, or do a bodyweight workout early in the morning before your day gets started. That way, your workout won’t be the first thing to get pushed aside in your busy schedule.
A simple circuit: three rounds, 30 seconds per exercise with a short break in between:
