FAQ

Our logo is a schweinehund – best translated as pig-dog or swine-hound. This creature is known to everyone in the German-speaking world. The schweinehund is the inner demon stopping you from reaching your health and fitness goals. The little devil on your shoulder that stops you from eating healthy food, getting fit or doing the hard things you want to do! The schweinehund wants you to be lazy.

WE ARE THE SCHWEINEHUND EXPERTS!

At Myleo, we will help you to fight your schweinehund and tame that ugly beast. We will motivate you to become fitter, healthier and happier by training and eating well.

Our Fundamentals Classes are a great chance to get coached in a very small group by a certified professional! We cover the basics of Olympic lifting, rowing technique and all the other movements we use in CrossFit. Learn more about the classes here.

We can evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in technique, mobility, and fitness. We need to make sure that you are very well prepared before you join the regular classes.  The fundamentals are beneficial to everyone, not just or beginners.

The only exception is if you have been training CrossFit for at least 3 months and have gone through an on-ramp or foundations course before.

If you have the OK from your doctor and have successfully completed a rehabilitation program, you can definitely join our CrossFit classes!

We will scale or substitute all exercises you cannot do because of your injury. Our experienced coaches will help you find alternatives, so you can still join the regular group classes.

If you would rather come back with a couple of hours of Personal Training, we are happy to help. With a 1 on 1 session, it is easier to accommodate to your injury and needs.

If your friend is a CrossFit newbie, they need to complete our fundamentals classes first. Our free intro training is the perfect option then!

If your friend has at least 3 months of CrossFit experience in another affiliate, they are very welcome to join a class as a drop-in.

Register the drop-in via our online schedule prior to attending the class.

We think it’s awesome that you have become a real CrossFit addict and want some more thrill by doing competitions!

You can get some first competition experience directly at Myleo! We host different box competitions every year such as our famous Easter Challenge or the Einheiz Challenge in October. Our competitions are for all levels and are very popular in our community.

The next way to get competition experience is by joining the CrossFit Games Open. In the Open you compete against CrossFitters from all over the world. See how you measure up against athletes from your box, your city, your country and beyond. The Open gives you a very good assessment of where you stand.

There are also many local competitions in Berlin, Germany, and Europe where non-professional athletes can take part in scaled or intermediate divisions.

Our programming is designed for advanced athletes to get competition-ready and to develop skills and strength. Join our special weightlifting and gymnastics classes to work on skills such as muscle-ups or snatches.

You can also do your own additional training during Open Gym times.

We have some elite athletes in our community, who can be a great inspiration and are very happy to give you some tips!
