The training
What is ARKHĒ?
A 45-minute strength session, led by a coach, in a room where music and light move with the training. You work through 7 stations and train your whole body. You come for results. You stay for how it feels.
What happens in a session?
Each session begins with a short introduction from the coach, so you know exactly what to expect. After a guided warm-up, we move into the main part of the session – 7 stations, 4 sets at each. The first two sets are about finding the right weight and building confidence in the movement. In the final two, if your technique is strong, we encourage you to go heavier. We always finish with a short finisher and a guided stretch, leaving you feeling strong and accomplished.
Is it HIIT or cardio?
No. It's strength training. The clock keeps the room together, but you never rush reps to fill the time. The intensity comes from the weight, not the speed. The music can be fast; the reps stay controlled.
I've never done strength training. Is it for me?
Yes. The structure is the same for everyone; the weight and the exercise variation are what change. If you're new, you can keep the same weight for all four sets while you learn the movement. That's progress too. Your coach helps you choose the load.
I've been lifting for years. Will it be enough?
Yes. You set the load, and sets 3 and 4 are there to push. The exercises also change from session to session with a plan behind them: same goal, different angles, grips and variations.
Is it always the same exercises?
No. Each station is a family of exercises, not a single one. The variety is programmed: every muscle you train has a plan behind it, even when the exercise changes. Always new, never random.
Are there rankings, points or screens with my data?
No. The screens show which set you're on and how long is left. No scores, no leaderboards, no comparing yourself to anyone.
What's the music?
DJ sets rooted in Berlin's club culture, built around the flow of the session. The light moves with the music. Listen to the set directly on this website.
How often should I come?
Two or three times a week to build real strength. You'll feel it after one. What matters most is showing up.
What language are sessions in?
English.
Your first session
How can I try ARKHĒ?
With the Welcome Offer: 2 sessions for €10, valid for 30 days. It's there so you come back a second time before you decide anything.
When should I arrive?
For your first session, 15 minutes early: we'll show you the studio, the stations and your spot. After that, 5 minutes is enough.
What should I bring?
Training clothes, clean indoor shoes (no street shoes on the floor), a towel and water bottle. No padlock needed for the lockers.
What if I'm late?
Sessions start on the dot, and once they've started you can't come in. It counts as a missed session: on a pack, x4 or x8 you lose the session.
