Ride Berlin bietet seinen Kunden ein exklusives und intensives full-body workout. In Clubatmosphäre wird zu lauten Beats im dunkeln Raum auf Fahrrädern geschwitzt.
The design for the central fitness space was therefore a given: it presents itself as black on black, accented only by coloured lighting. The challenge lay in the sound proofing, as the new studio occupies the ground floor of a residential building from the Gründerzeit era. Working together with the acoustic engineers at MMT Network, the sound proofing was realised as a room within a room. Free-spanning ceilings, acoustic lining panels, heavy screed and a complete foam cladding of the wall surfaces insulate the period building fabric so effectively that the music can thunder inside the studio and still cannot be heard in the flats above.
For air quality, a dedicated ventilation and air-conditioning system was installed in the basement, ensuring sufficient air circulation and comfortable training temperatures.
The rest of the studio presents itself in the strongest possible contrast: pure white and refined shades of grey create a bright friendliness. Furniture, tiles, light fittings – everything radiates as if cast from a single mould. Quiet accents in oak generate warmth, and the orange of the company logo appears in lettering and signage. The exclusivity of the studio concept is underlined by individual showers and generous changing rooms.
The exposed brick wall in the reception area deliberately breaks with Ride Berlin's corporate design and creates the local connection to the Prenzlauer Berg location.
