About the partner programs
- URBAN SPORTS CLUB - Studio classes & livestreams
-
Urban Sports Club (USC) is a platform where you can sign up directly to access a wide range of sports facilities. You can then train in many sports studios in your city and numerous other cities across Europe. The Bodyworkers is one of the partner studios of Urban Sports Club. With the M membership of USC, you can check in at our studio 4 times per month, with the L and XL memberships 8 times per month in the studio, and with all memberships additionally 8 times per month in livestreams. You pay the membership fee directly to USC.
Important for studio classes: If you cannot attend, please cancel your studio spot through the USC app. The cancellation deadline is 12 hours. You can also cancel at shorter notice, however, your check-in will then be deducted from your quota, and you will be charged a small penalty fee which USC automatically collects. We strongly recommend you to do so, as the penalty fee for a "no-show" is significantly higher.

About the classes
- I haven't been active in sports (for a while). Which classes are suitable for getting (back) into it?
-
If you're feeling out of shape after a long break, these classes are particularly suitable for beginners to build strength and coordination: physyolates®, Pilates, and Ballet Barre. Also Mama Fitness is a good starting point even for non-pregnant participants.
Mastered these classes well? Then your next level could be BBP / Core Burn XPRESS, HIIT meets Yoga, Piloxing, and Functional HIIT Circle.If you're looking to improve your mobility, we recommend Hatha / Vinyasa Yoga, Back & Fascia Release, and Stretch & Tone.
Classes like Outdoor HIIT & Run, DEEPWORK, Cardio Pilates, Iron Pump, and HIIT Warrior Workout require a high level of fitness. Therefore, we don't recommend these classes as a re-entry after a long break.
We've provided detailed descriptions of all our classes and categorized them into STRENGTH & ENDURANCE, STRETCH & MOBILITY, DANCE & COORDINATION, RELAX & RECHARGE so you can easily find what you're looking for.
If you're still unsure, feel free to email us at hello@the-bodyworkers.de to discuss your individual situation and find the most suitable classes for your fitness level and goals.
- Can I attend your classes during pregnancy?
-
If you were active before pregnancy, you can continue to be active during pregnancy. We recommend engaging in light exercise only during the first 12 weeks, after which you can gradually increase your activity level.
For pregnant women, we have developed a special class that takes into account the needs of pregnancy. In Mama Fitness, we avoid jumps for example or excessive abdominal muscle training. It's still a fitness class, so you'll definitely break a sweat and train your muscles. However, since the class is 100 % tailored to pregnancy, you'll find it fully accommodating unlike any other class.
As long as you feel comfortable, you can also attend some other classes that you used to attend before. However, not all of our classes are suitable for pregnant women. Therefore, be sure to speak with your trainer beforehand and ask for alternatives for jumping and abdominal exercises. If in doubt, feel free to email us at hello@the-bodyworkers.de in advance so we can discuss your individual situation.
As a precaution, always consult with your doctor to determine which fitness program is suitable for you personally during and after pregnancy.
- Which classes do you recommend after pregnancy?
-
We strongly recommend that you first attend a post-natal recovery course, where the pelvic floor is specifically strengthened and rectus diastasis is addressed. This is very important so that you can fully engage in physical activities in the long term. You can start a postnatal recovery course from the 8th week (for vaginal birth) or from the 12th week (for cesarean section) after giving birth.
Our Mama Fitness class is ideal for getting you back in shape for returning to your usual fitness routine after completing your first post-natal recovery course. Although the first post-natal recovery course lays the groundwork for a strong body, fitness may not be fully restored, or the pelvic floor may still be somewhat unstable. Since Mama Fitness avoids jumps and excessive abdominal muscle training, it's a wonderful option for new moms to regain fitness.
In addition to Mama Fitness, our pysyolates® class is also a good option for you after your first post-natal recovery.
As a precaution, always consult with your doctor to determine which fitness program is suitable for you personally after pregnancy. - I was injured. When can I take part in your classes again?
-
Only your doctor can answer that question. Generally, you need to be 100 % fit and healthy again if you want to participate in power workouts.
We also offer classes that are recommended during the healing process to rebuild strength and flexibility, such as physyolates®, Back & Fascia Release, or Stretch & Tone - but this should also be discussed with a doctor beforehand, especially after serious injuries and surgeries.
If you have the green light from your doctor, feel free to email us at hello@the-bodyworkers.de so we can discuss your individual situation and possibly recommend classes.Injuries and illnesses must be communicated to the trainer in advance. We try our best to accommodate your needs and provide alternative exercises, but this is not always possible in group classes. Therefore, you should know your body well enough to take a break if it becomes too much.
Start slowly, gradually reintroduce your body to movement and stress after a long break, and increase gradually.You can also receive individualized care with us. We offer personal training for rehabilitation after an injury and have specially educated trainers for this. Feel free to contact us!
