Fitness First Berlin - Steglitz SSC (Performance)

Awesome placer to train, from crossfit to Hyrox always clean, if you pass by ask for Elli

I visit this Fitness First location using my Urban Sports Club membership, and it is definitely in my top list! The location is very convenient and easy to reach via public transport. The gym is fully equipped, and I have to give a special shout-out to Luis. He does an amazing job keeping the place tidy, constantly arranging the equipment in all sections throughout the day and at closing. It makes a big difference. Another highlight is the 90°C outdoor sauna on the rooftop. It’s perfect for getting fresh air right after a 15-minute heat session. Plus, the free drinks machine is a great perk. Highly recommended!"

Excellent gym with top notch equipment: Eleiko weights and barbells, Hammers Strength machines and squat racks. They even have IPF approved ATX combo rack for bench pressing. The sauna on the top floor is a nice bonus. They have everything you need for performance & strength focused training.

This is one of my favorite gyms! The facility is top notch, but what really stands out is the manager Ollie. He is forever going out of his way to make visitors feel at home and taken care of while there. If you are visiting Berlin, then I highly recommend. Need a sauna session, then this is likely the only rooftop sauna you will find with all day access. Moving to Berlin, then consider joining!

I used to visit ELBGYM during 2022 with my corporate urban sports pass. Back then, I used to think this was the best gym in Berlin. Now, I've returned in 2024 and ELBGYM has purchased a few new top notch machines, making it even better. The service is by far much above the average in Berlin. The staff is very friendly, polite and welcoming. The entire premises are spotless clean. Hygiene is at a very high standard here. I love how they have separated the different areas; powerlifting, CrossFit, cardio and bodybuilding with a very well structured upper body and lower body areas. Everything is very well thought of and harmonious. The crowd is very cool in here. I feel extremely comfortable training. I have to say for the first time I have experienced people carrying around tripods to film their training. Not a big problem as long as it doesn't become frequent. All in all, ELBGYM still is my favorite fitness studio in Berlin and I wish they didn't require a 1 year contract for membership. In the meantime, I'll train here using my urban sports pass.
