Urban Gladiators

Urban Gladiators is functional training in Berlin — Kreuzberg and Mitte, small groups, coaches who stay close. Calisthenics, strength, aerial, prevention. Training that feels like movement, not a machine park.

I was there more than once: in the classes, between kettlebells and mats, while the group works. And quieter portraits of the coaches afterwards — faces you recognise on the website and on Instagram.

The pictures should carry the place: sweat, focus, a laugh in between. Nothing posed, close enough for web and social — so people see what an evening with the Gladiators feels like.
