Germany is a Western European country, lying between Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxemburg and Belgium. With 83 million habitants, it’s the most populous state of the European Union. The capital city is Berlin while other major cities are Frankfurt (the financial center and one of the world’s busiest airports), Dortmund (the largest urban area of the country), Hamburg (the largest port of the country and third largest in Europe), Munich (home of BMW and Siemens), Cologne (home to many universities), Stuttgart (home of Porsche, Bosch, and Mercedes-Benz), Düsseldorf (also famous for the higher education institutions), Leipzig (known as the home of music, both old and new), Dresden (center for high-tech branches), Bremen (major cultural and economical hub), and Hannover (known for its fairs throughout the year).

It’s hard to highlight monuments to visit or activities to do as each of the 16 states can provide a reach experience to travelers. However, many believe that visiting the remnants of the Berlin Wall, enjoying a beer at Munich’s world-famous Oktoberfest, exploring the Cologne Cathedral, touring in the Alps and visiting Lake Constance should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Fitness in Germany

Being active is a very important aspect of life in Germany, so it’s a surprise that the fitness industry is booming in the country, and the projected 6% growth isn’t a sign of slowing down either. In general, low-cost franchises, luxurious and modern centers and individual clubs are all thriving. However, most of the gyms work with a monthly subscription system and only offer a limited number of try out day, if any. Thus, TrainAway provides the easiest solution for travelers to get a day pass or week pass to their preferred gym, and with the app the searching and buying process is all within a few taps for anyone.
