Gym membership for occasional users?

I wonder if there is anything like Urban Sports Club (or a well located gym around Gesundbrunnen or Mitte) for people who only use it every now and then. I only spend one or two weeks a month in Berlin, so a USC subscription or regular gym membership doesn't really work. Looking for a solution for 2-4 visits a month.
Do you know of any memberships that allow only a small amount of visits per month or where you can pay per visit? Back in the days, stuff like Zehnerkarte existed. Either something like USC or some nice gym will do.
Many thanks!
FitX Flex is the practical answer, but if you want something a bit more social than a chain gym, check out Bouldergarten in Gesundbrunnen. They do day passes for around 9 euro, and you get a solid workout without the membership hassle. Not a traditional gym, but you'll use muscles you forgot you had.
For something closer to a standard gym, the John Reed at Torstraße has a punch card option - 10 visits for roughly 70 euro, and the place is open 24/7 so you can go whenever your schedule allows. The vibe is more club than fitness studio, which might not be your thing, but the equipment is solid.
honestly for just 2-4 visits a month your best bet is McFit or FitX with their pay-per-visit option, they're both around 5-6 euro per entry and you can just scan in with the app. there's a McFit right at Gesundbrunnen station which is super convenient.
if you want something nicer, Holmes Place on Friedrichstraße does day passes for about 25 euro but that's steep for regular use. the McFit route is prob the most practical for your schedule.
tbh the old Zehnerkarte model is pretty dead in Berlin, most chains switched to this app-based pay-as-you-go system. fitX also has a "Flex" option where you buy a 10-visit package that never expires, that might be exactly what you're looking for.
the fitX flex package is probably ur best bet honestly, 10 visits that don't expire for like 50 euro i think. there's one on brunnenstraße near u-bahn, not far from gesundbrunnen at all
if u want something a bit more central with day passes, check out fitness first at alexa mall. they do a 10er card for like 80 euro but it's a much nicer space and has a pool/sauna if that matters to u. the fitX is the smarter choice for just weights/cardio tho
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.
