CROSSFIT 
FUNDAMENTALS

Why did you choose BLN?‍

I haven't had any good experiences in the big gym chains. The anonymity made it difficult for me to develop motivation. At BLN, it's easy to find contacts quickly and it feels more like team sport. Another positive aspect that I really appreciate is the friendly staff and the clean and modern studio equipment

‍

What is your favorite course?‍

Definitely the powerhouse

‍

‍What music do you like to listen to the most when working out? Which song should not be missing from our playlist?

I like the faster bpm's;) - Now U Do - DJ Seinfeld

‍

‍What is your favorite exercise and what is your most hated exercise?

Favorite = deadlift
What I like the least is pull-ups and “Erg” as a workout finisher

‍

A word/sentence/a quote about BLN something you always wanted to say?

Continue to stand up for the community with all your positive energy and great offers around sport, health and wellness. I'm happy to be part of the journey!

Why did you choose BLN?

I was looking for a gym that offered both CrossFit and Bodyweight classes so I could build up my strength. After seeing the location and getting to know the people, I knew it was a good fit.

What is your favorite course?

Powerhouse — this class builds the strength that makes it easier for me to get started from bodyweight exercises to crossfit movements.

What is your favorite detail in the gym?

Everything is so well thought through. Starting with the industrial style training area, to the wooden panels at the walls and even the colourful bathrooms. But the cherry on top is the hearty atmosphere.

Body weight or dumbbells?

Both - I particularly like the variety in our courses. But if I had to choose, I'd opt for barbell training followed by a few burpees:)

‍

What would you say to someone who is thinking about signing up for BLN.athletics and what advice would you give them?

Don't wait - we have a family atmosphere, one of the nicest studios in Berlin and a variety of different courses.

What music do you like to listen to the most when working out? Which song should not be missing from our playlist?

Techno 100% and fav song is the age of love.

‍

What is your favorite detail in the gym?

Love that it's clean and beautiful. The showers, the floor and the equipment are fantastic and there are always hydration tablets because sweat “is real” and hydration “is key.” In addition to the location and the equipment, I LOVE the community, the people at the bar are always nice and you feel very welcome (like in a small family). And the coffee is the best.

BLN. Athletics is a harmonious concept of a well-designed studio and excellent courses, as well as a lifestyle meeting place to have a good coffee and meet nice people.

You are passionate about what you do, you have an eye for detail, which is great and you are constantly striving for improvements. That is what I like the most about you!

Why did you choose BLN?

I had a great trial lesson with Lars, who encouraged me to exercise. I immediately met great people and fell in love with the workouts.

What is your favorite course?‍

Athletic flow. This helps me a lot with mobility, flexibility and recovery. It's a fundamental part of my routine and I don't think I've had any injuries as a result so far.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about signing up for BLN.athletics and what advice would you give them?

I've never enjoyed going to a crowded gym after work to wait in line for a workout bench. Every time I go to a BLN.ATHLETICS class, I look forward to working out with great people without worrying about what exercises I should do, whether the equipment is not available or what my technique is. There is always a professional trainer who does this for me and other members with whom I do the WoD. My advice to everyone who is starting training: Go to Team WOD, then you have the chance for a great superhero moment.

What have you always wanted to tell us?

If you want to get fit and stay fit, that is only possible with a lot of effort and commitment. And if you're like me, then you're not exactly the hardest working person. After years of trying and making New Year's resolutions, I can finally enjoy physical activity. Thanks for creating such a lovely place and bringing so many amazing people together to make it easy and fun! :)

Why did you choose BLN?

Because my owner is here often and I can meet my friends Lucy and Peter.
