Each summer, professional trainers from partner associations took to the fields, athletic facilities and water to offer a variety of programmes for anyone interested in participating. From functional training in Eimsbüttel to qigong in Wandsbek, from yoga in Wilhelmsburg to beach volleyball in Bergedorf, there’s an exciting option to help everyone move their bodies. The programme is welcoming for all fitness levels, with professional supervision ensuring a safe workout space for all. 

Activecitysummer.de (German only) provides a concise overview of the schedule.

Successful Every Summer

Well over 9,000 Hamburg residents take part in the free athletics programme each summer, when more than 1,000 hours of 93 varieties of outdoor sports activities are offered at around 75 locations. From boxing to Latin dance, each event is professional, inclusive, accessible, and fun - no contract required. Several Hamburg-based associations and institutions take part in this unique 90-day offer, all with the declared goal of encouraging everyone in Hamburg to do outdoor sport at least once a week.
