Like many others, I’ve had my fair share of German “Kaffee und Kuchen“, heaps of gouda cheese, and some of the best ice cream while living in Düsseldorf. Here’s a little inspiration to get us back into the swing of fitness while living in Düsseldorf. Because I know I’m not the only one on a budget, here is a price comparison of the fitness gyms in Dusseldorf (conveniently from cheapest to most expensive).
ALERT: As per usual around the world, it can be difficult to get out of a gym contract while you’re in it. If you make the decision to purchase a membership, make sure you’ve done the research ahead of time to know when and how you can get out of the contract. There are some exceptions to the rules, but not many. If you are currently looking to cancel a gym membership and you’re deadline to cancel is coming up soon, let Aboalarm do the cancellation for you, so you can spend your time looking for a better gym option!

I ask more now than ever that if you’ve found they charge more upon arrival, offer poor services or offer more than what I’ve credited them for, please leave a comment below!
