The star feature is the strength area, called the Athletic Hall, filled with Hammer Strength equipment.
INSPIRING WELLNESS THE CHALLENGE
The Balance team met with their consultants and quickly saw that there was a need for a new fitness and wellness gym in Flensburg. With the aim of creating a quality, full-offering site, they started looking for a location and reached out to Life Fitness to start building the concept and gym design. The space, a new building of over 4,200 SQM, presented a lot of possibilities to create something inspiring.
The guiding vision for the project was Balance’s motto: Care is our Strength!
CARING FOR EVERYONE THE RESULTS
With fees starting at only €29.99 per month, the gym is accessible and welcoming to members of diverse ages with varying goals.

Spread over four different floors, the facility includes high-end fitness equipment (including Life Fitness, ICG, and Hammer Strength), multiple group class offerings, relaxation areas, a terrace, saunas, and more. It even has an indoor sprint track, something unique in the region.
