Workout SNAPSHOT

Lifted in Prenzlauer Berg offers a 45min strength training class designed for anyone who wants to build muscles without the intimidation of a traditional gym. The workout is structured around six stations, where you’ll rotate through staple moves like barbell deadlifts, leg press, and chest press, plus variations that target shoulders, back, and lower body. Each exercise is performed for three sets of eight reps, with tablets at every station to guide you on weights and track your progress over time.

Classes always follow the same flow: a warm-up, station rotations, and a 2.5-minute core AMRAP to finish strong. The setup ensures you can lift heavy and push toward muscle failure while still moving in a supportive group setting. Afterward, a stretch and short breathwork session help your body recover and leave you feeling centered.

THE FULL SCOOP

Lifted is a much-welcome addition to Prenzlauer Berg’s fitness scene. If you’re looking to build strength and lift heavy – but feel intimidated by a regular gym – or if you simply want a structured 45-minute full-body workout without planning exercises yourself, and enjoy the motivation of a group setting, this class is for you.

If it’s your first time, arrive 10 minutes early and bring indoor training shoes to change into. The instructor will guide you through the class setup and show you how to use the tablets at each station. To start, pick one of six stations via the tablet: just scroll to your name and select a spot (A–E) at stations 1 to 6. Already claimed spots will appear greyed out.

Class kicks off with a demo of all stations, followed by a six-minute warm-up to prep your muscles. Then head to your starting spot, you will see the letter above each station as well as your name on the screen above the station you’ll be working out at. The screen will also suggest weights – either saved from your last session or tailored for first-timers. If you increase your weight, update it on the tablet so it’s saved for next time. You’ll see your progression tracked on screen, with arrows showing whether you’re maintaining or building strength.

Each exercise is performed for three sets of eight reps, with 40 seconds to complete and 40 seconds of rest. Since this is a strength class, the goal is to go heavy and push to failure by the final set.

The class structure is consistent with some variations of what type of movement you’ll be doing:

  • Station 1 will always be a barbell deadlift, with a 10kg barbell that you can add on to. And station 5 is a leg press machine, so this movement will also always be the same in each class.
  • At station 2 you’ll always be working out your shoulder muscles but the workout will vary between front or side overhead presses.
  • Station 3 is focused on working your quads, glutes and hamstrings with lunges or bulgarian split squats.
  • Station 4 is another machine to work your back muscles, it’s either a lat pull or seated rowing exercise.
  • And finally at station 6 you’ll be working your chest muscles on a flat or inclined bench, doing dumbbell bench presses.

You’ll rotate clockwise through all six stations before finishing with a 2.5min Core AMRAP on the floor: three exercises, six reps each, repeated as many times as possible. Think reverse crunches, bicycle crunches, leg raises, or diagonal mountain climbers.

You’ll wrap up with a 4min stretch to aid recovery and a short 1.45min breathwork practice to finish calm and grounded.
