The German capital needn’t be all

about biergartens and the queue

for Berghain. Local fitness expert

Erik Jäger has your new itinerary

The Best and

Wurst of Berlin

HOLIDAY REPS

02 The Workout Spot

Put that coffee to use in the

Sistine Chapel – kind of. This

gym’s, um, eccentric design

makes it a welcome switch-up

from the daily grind. Give one

of its relentless classes a go,

all soundtracked by a local DJ.

John Reed Fitness, Prenzlauer

Allee 248/251, 10405

04 The Worthy Re-Feed

Daluma is a favourite for its

vegan superfood dishes. It

offers delicious, nutritious

dishes and uses sustainable

ingredients. You’ll probably

have to Instagram your meal

before you can eat it, basically.

Daluma, Weinbergsweg 3,

10119

07 The Reset

Shake off last night’s cobwebs

at Spirit Yoga. Make sure you

head to the Charlottenburg

gym, which is equipped with a

spa for an emergency massage

or sauna, depending on just

how late you made it home...

Spirit Yoga Charlottenburg,

Goethestraße 2-3, 10623

01 The Fuel Stop

Coffee snobs from across the

capital come here for their

morning shot. There might be

a queue, but it’s worth the wait.

They serve top-quality coffee

to pep up your fitness efforts,

minus the hipster prices: your

double macchiato is only €2.

DoubleEye Coffee,

Akazienstraße 21, 10823

03 The Cardio Fix

It’s a short dash to Volkspark,

where you can power through

a finisher of hill sprints and

catch your breath on a mound

made out of Second World

War bunker rubble, complete

with a spectacular view of

Berlin’s city centre.

Volkspark Friedrichshain,

10249

06 The Unwind

Tucked under the train tracks

by Friedrichstrasse Station,

Bar Tausend is hard to find, so

go before you’ve had too many.

Make it past the selective

door policy to luxuriate in one

of Berlin’s coolest bars and

sip a Kyoto cocktail.

Bar Tausend,

Schiffbauerdamm 11, 10117

05 The Pig Out

What began as a cart in a Berlin

market in 1959 is now the high

point for currywurst, Berlin’s

combo of sausage and curried

ketchup. Krasselt’s is just off

the beaten track, so you can

avoid the long lines of tourists

found at more mediocre spots.

Krasselt’s Imbiss, Steglitzer

Damm 22, 12169
