It's getting all sporty at Quälgeist: Are you ready for your special training session with coach or for a kinky extra time with your teammates? Use our large play area and make your locker room fantasies come true in the matching outfit: Besides sox & sneaks, think about soccer gear, spandex & lycra, neoprene, winter sports gear as well as heavier protection gear for motocross, field hockey or American football.
Some specials will make our venues even better equipped for the theme:
Use the mats for roughhousing, wrestling and fighting. There is also a punching bag in the trampling area - perfect for mounting training partners for gut-punching. For spontaneous fun, boxing gloves and head protection can be borrowed on site. Those who prefer a playful approach should take a dip in the ball pool.
Men* only!
