Comparison of Corporate Fitness Platforms: Egym Wellpass, Urban Sports Club, and Hansefit

Among the fitness trends of 2024, the three major providers of corporate fitness solutions, Urban Sports Club, Hansefit, and Egym Wellpass, stand out once again this year. The unique selling point of these companies is that they offer fitness solutions without owning their own fitness facilities. These companies act as marketplaces, similar to Uber or Airbnb.

A corporate cooperation allows the use of various fitness facilities nationwide. This offer is especially interesting for companies with many locations or employees who work far apart.

In real life, however, it is important to look at which offers employees actually want to take advantage of. This means that if companies consider creating such an offer, they should first survey their employees to find out which fitness offers they currently use and which they would like to use. Often, a direct cooperation with a regional fitness provider is cheaper and more effective.

Hansefit, Urban Sports Club, and Egym Wellpass are the three major providers that have different approaches and offers. It is not easy to find out the differences.

1. Offered services:

• Hansefit offers access to a wide range of fitness studios, now boasting over 8,000 facilities and sports facilities at various locations in Germany. It also includes virtual classes and online workouts.
• Urban Sports Club also offers access to a variety of fitness studios (also 8,000), sports facilities, as well as various sports such as yoga, Pilates, swimming, and more. It also allows participation in group classes.
• Egym Wellpass also mentions 8,000 facilities and focuses on digital health solutions, offering personalized training plans as well as access to a variety of fitness apps and content. 2. Flexibility: All three providers benefit from strong market penetration, with Hansefit primarily on a nationwide level. The other two providers even operate Europe-wide. 3. Prices and membership models: The prices of the three providers can vary depending on the employer and individual contract. There is usually a monthly membership fee and various membership models that include or limit different fitness facilities. Prices vary depending on the chosen plan and location. Please note the cancellation conditions.

Conclusion: The choice between Hansefit, Urban Sports Club, and Egym Wellpass depends on individual needs, preferences, and goals. It is advisable to carefully review the offered services, flexibility, prices, and additional functions to make the best choice.

Get individual offers made. However, please make sure to only pay for employees who actually take advantage of the offer.

My personal recommendation is to also speak to your regional fitness operators. Often, the studios are not only equipped with high-quality fitness equipment but also offer additional services such as massages, saunas, and solariums.

I would also like to mention the Freiburger Kreis. It is a working group of larger German sports clubs with currently over 180 member clubs throughout Germany, and the associated growing studio network is also very interesting. Here, not only is club life promoted, but top-quality support is also likely always provided.

Regional studio operators often do not shy away from the effort to train directly in your company. Many of our operators who use FlexSpot also provide FlexSpot mobility training on-site - a service that the large marketplace providers often cannot guarantee.

Here is a short to-do list for introducing corporate fitness:

• Survey employees on which services have been used so far and what wishes they have.
• Determine the number of participants.
• Obtain offers from Urban Sports Club, Egym Wellpass, and Hansefit.
• Important: contact regional fitness providers or the Freiburger Kreis - especially for small and medium-sized companies!
• Make a decision and ensure that training is done regularly.
