A commercial gym means crowds, queues for the squat rack, worn-out machines and a contract that renews whether you show up or not. You train around everyone else's schedule, and you're always sharing the space.
A private gym flips that. Book an hour and the whole studio is yours — every piece of equipment free, complete privacy, and no fixed costs. Just you, your program and the time you booked.
Training week after week, or planning a longer-term routine? Reach out — we offer special conditions and tailored arrangements for members with a regular commitment.
SHIO gives you a premium studio entirely to yourself — the space, the equipment and the privacy of your own gym, without the membership, the crowds or the commitment.
When you book a slot, nobody else is training there. No crowds, no waiting for a rack, no working in between someone else's sets — every piece of equipment is available to you for your full hour.
Regular gyms lock you into long contracts with automatic renewals. At SHIO you simply buy credits and pay per session — if life gets busy, you are not paying for a gym you never visit.
In a regular gym, peak hours mean queuing for the bench or squat rack. Here, your booked hour is pure training time — your workout takes exactly as long as your program says, not as long as the crowd allows.
No onlookers and no feeling watched while you grind through heavy sets. Film your technique, play your own music, focus completely — for one hour, the space is entirely yours.
From the FM-6 functional trainer and Echo Bike to bars, bumper plates, kettlebells up to 56 kg and a full dumbbell run — every piece is Rogue. No worn-out budget machines, just the gear serious lifters actually want.
Sign up online, pay securely via Stripe, book a slot in the webapp and unlock the door from your phone the moment your session starts. No front desk, no plastic card, no waiting for staff.
The studio is exclusively for people who know what they are doing. No distractions, no equipment blocked by beginners — an atmosphere made purely for concentrated strength training.
Only one booking uses the space per slot, and everyone leaves the room clean and orderly. Compare that to a regular gym where hundreds of strangers sweat on the same bench every day.
Cancel up to 48 hours before your session and the credit goes straight back to your account, ready to be used again. Try getting a regular gym to refund you anything.
Your booked slot is your private session — you decide who is in the room with you. A guaranteed private space for partner training that a public gym can never offer.
Sign up for free with your email or via Google. It takes about a minute.
Purchase credits securely through Stripe. Each credit covers one 60-minute session.
Pick any open hour in the webapp and the whole studio is reserved for you.
Unlock the door from your phone when your slot begins. The studio is entirely yours for the hour.
SHIO is a fit for experienced lifters in and around Berlin who want a private, premium space to train — alone or with a partner — without the crowds, contracts and compromises of a commercial gym.
