If you study at Mannheim University, you have two main gym choices: D2 (uni gym) or Venice Beach. At first, Venice Beach seems more appealing, but do not fool yourself: only the name is: Venice Beach in Mannheim is the exact opposite of the original Venice Beach Gym (a.k.a. Muscle Beach) of Los Angeles, California. Instead, it more reminiscent in a sense of Planet Fitness *(also present in Los Angeles), except it is very expensive and sleeveless t-shirts and tank tops are forbidden for man only (even though they are allowed in PF).

So if you chose to become a member at D2 University Gym, you have made a good decision! The gym is very affordable (only 66 euros per semester). And the gym has everything you need to train: dumbells up to 65kg, trap deadlift bar, etc. The staff is very friendly and helpful(you can borrow chalk or belts from them).

The only small downsides are the following:
-it is difficult to sign up if you are not a student/staff at Mannheim Universität.
-during some hours of the day, deadlifts are forbidden (which is totally understandable given the fact that there is a nursery below the gym and babies need to sleep).
-there are no wall mirrors in the gym. Instead the gym is provided with plenty of movable dance mirrors (it is a double-edged sword: you need to take and move a mirror every time you need to use one, but on the other hand you can place them where you want and adjust them to fit your preferences).
