Pre-Folsom Spandex Warm-Up in Berlin Gym

Let's get together before Folsom for a relaxed 2 hour workout session in spandex gear! - Date: Friday, 29. August 2025, 3-5PM (2 hours) - Gym: McFit Tauentzienstraße 8, 10€ day pass at the entrance - Wear: RED SOCKS or a RED TOWEL to easier recognise other Spandex Party guys Dresscode: Whatever you're comfortable in. Even though McFit Tauentzienstraße is a fairly gay gym, you shouldn't work out in just a thong - probably appreciated but it's too early in the day for that 😉 Thanks to mullerbn again for the idea!

Great idea and makes me wish even more that I could attend Folsom.

I'm honored that the idea might be liked. The suggested timing - friday afternoon - seems logical to me (even if it doesn't suit me personally because I won't have arrived in Berlin yet). But the important thing is that it materialize. So, to answer the third suggestion from our beloved SP administrator - how to reconize ourselves during the gym session-, I notice on "spandex party that when a pic with a white outfit is posted, it attracts many many comments (we see the shapes better, we fantasize about seeing it wet, ...). Also, having a white item on us (top, bottom, completely white sneakers or even completely white socks clearly visible), would be a way to recognize us in the gym. What do you think? And if it works, don't forget to come to me during the streetfair, to tell me if it was nice ;)

that's unfortunate that you can't join, mullerbn. probably many will come later. but it's easier to talk with smaller groups anyway. I like the idea of visuals. but maybe not everyone has a white lycra outfit—or others in the gym might wear one, too. What about towel or/and socks in red, the Spandex Party color? this way you check someone in a Lycra and double check if they wear red just to be double sure? (this gives me early gay vibes when people still used hankey codes hehe)

Holmes Place in Neukolln offers day passes for 29 Euro. Plus they have wellness area with a steam room and a pool. Could be a good option

I might be around 31 to 2nd -- just missing Folsom but 🤷‍♂️

maybe something closer to Schöneberg, I figure most Folsom visitors will be in that area anyway? 🤔 from the top of my head I had John Reed Charlottenburg on my mind. they have day passes and a sauna even. if Axel Hotel's gym wouldn't be so tiny tiny tiny, I think that could have been a good spot, too.

I created a user event for this: https://spandexparty.com/events/pre-folsom-gym-session-7990a4 so we can better see who's interested/going and we can better plan 💪 (soon everybody can do this ☝️)

Great you are working on user-events, would love to post an own hiking+event and gather some guys

I'm going to check next week in person if the day pass is still a thing at McFit Tauentzienstrasse, one of the bigger & gayer gyms

I checked with the guys at McFit Tauentzienstrasse: they offer a 10€ day pass that can be paid at the entrance when talking to an employee BY CARD. I think this would be a great spot, because it's gonna be filled with Folsom guys anyway and it's close to Folsom's epicenter. lemme update the details!

I love the idea! I think the gym at the Axel Hotel would be the best option, as it's a gay hotel so there's no risk of getting into trouble for cruising or wearing "revealing" gear. Plus, it's in the right neighbourhood.

I checked out Axel Hotel too, but I really dislike their gym. they have 4-5 machines on a 10m² area and that's it. it's not like the one in Gran Canaria (which would be perfect hehe) I think this meetup should be more of a 'social', especially since people don't know each other and being active helps breaking the ice etc. and I frequently go to McFit Tauentziehen, wearing one of my 1-piece suits and I fit in well. but the dresscode wouldn't allow super skimpy or slutty gear. For that I think we have enough opportunities throughout the Folsom weekend. maybe I make that clear in the description above again.

I updated the event text and the header pic. btw, I took the header pic from this very gym when I went to ask for day passes hehe 💪

I hope all you spandex freaks who are going to attend the event will post many photos for us losers that wont be able to attend. Have a great time, guys. Be safe.

Cool. Okidoki. I will see if I can do it! Will go there directly from the train station and move there. Maybe at least an hour will work. Thanks for the organization! 😍

Sehr schön Idee. Ich kann noch nicht genau sagen ob ich es schaffe. Ich muss bis 13:30 Uhr arbeiten und kann dann erst mit dem Zug nach Berlin fahren.

Nice, wäre echt cool wenns klappt #teamskinsuit #teamsinglet 💪

kinky REMINDER to wear RED socks or use a RED towel, so we can easier spot each other in the gym.

I love the new function that notifies me when someone replies to a forum post that I have written. Nice addition! Thanks, Simon.
