Are there any gyms that have women's barbells (15kg)?
I have an Urban Sports Club membership so would prefer a gym that I can access through that,… Am a woman, upper body pretty weak so it's hard for me to do barbell training with the default 20kg bars.
I have an Urban Sports Club membership so would prefer a gym that I can access through that, but really any leads will do!
honestly just ask the front desk at any Holmes Place on USC, they keep a couple of 15kg bars in the back room by the stretching mats. the one at zentrum am zoo definitely has them, i've used them there myself when my shoulders are acting up
also worth checking out FitX on leopoldplatz, they have a separate rack with colored bars that go down to 10kg. not all their locations do this but that one for sure, it's on the left wall past the dumbbells
if you're in neukölln, fit/one at hermannplatz has a few 15kg bars tucked away near the platform area. not all their locations have them though. also check out the m10 or john reed studios on usc, they usually have a separate rack for lighter bars. the one in mitte on torstraße definitely does
McFit on Frankfurter Allee has a few 15kg bars in the women's area, pretty sure they're on Urban Sports Club too.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
