Bottom line, you get what you pay for.
Between the overcrowding (always an issue at McFit-Moabit, made worse now by the restricted hours) and the poorly maintained and low quality equipment, it is very difficult to get a quality workout here.
I have had a membership here since early 2016. When the equipment, especially the cardio, becomes defective, it often stays that way for up to a year. Case in point: since 2016, have the two Stair Master's rarely both worked at the same time. One went defective in Feb of 2022, was removed in the summer, leaving a hazardous electical pipe for people to trip over, and was replaced with a cheap, flimsy knock-off this Jan., not suited for a home gym, let alone a commercial gym, just in time for the one good Stair Master to become defective.
As of this November, 7 of the 15 tread mills were defective, four of the elliptical (cross-fit) machines, one of the stair masters, 5 of the weight machines and several of the toilets (I have pictures to prove it). The situation has improved, but ongoing maintenance and crappy equipment is always a problem.
New after the pandemic, member cards no longer lock the lockers after two hours. If you need to take a shower, you have to leave your valuable open. Hours are now restricted, but only at McFit Moabit. Near impossible to get a good workout before work if you have to at 8 or 9, after work - only near their closing time.
I have used some of the other branches and they are markedly better, for some reason. read more
