In a city where every corner seems to have a fitness studio, one place in Prenzlauer Berg is quietly redefining what it means to train. The Sqwod Pod at Kollwitzkiez isn’t a gym floor. It’s a private training room — a space designed for focus, performance and peace of mind.
The private gym revolution
Forget packed group classes and the smell of recycled air. Sqwod Pod offers something Berlin hasn’t had much of until now: a fully private gym room you can book by the hour.
No membership with hidden fees. No waiting for machines. No distractions.
Inside, you’ll find what a serious athlete or a weekend trainer actually needs: Rogue barbells, NOHrD wooden equipment, WaterRowers, boxing bags, and adjustable lighting and music. Each Pod is built for real training — minimalist, elegant and functional.
Built for focused people
The Kollwitzkiez Pod attracts Berlin’s quiet achievers — professionals, parents and creators who value privacy and precision over chaos. It’s not about showing off. It’s about showing up.
Morning before meetings. Lunch breaks. Late-night sessions. The Pod is open 24/7, controlled by a smart access system that sends you a unique code before your workout. Bring a friend, train alone, or book it for your team — up to three guests are welcome.
Private gym, public results
When you remove the noise, something useful happens: people train harder and more consistently. Because the space is yours, every detail adjusts to you — lighting, playlist, intensity and tempo. This is focused training, with total control over the hour.

Train like the elite — no crowds, no limits
The concept was created by Tee Major, a performance coach who has trained soldiers, Olympians and high-performing professionals. The mission: make elite, distraction-free training accessible.
