OASE

What OASE does

OASE is a privately held German fitness and health club (Oase GmbH) operating a single destination-scale facility at Harpener Feld 35 in Bochum. It runs a comprehensive indoor-and-outdoor wellness campus with strength and cardio equipment, a six-court badminton hall, multiple squash courts, an indoor cycling room, a pool with AquaFit programming, sauna and wellness areas, an on-site restaurant/café, a ~300-meter forest-floor jogging track and multiple outdoor terraces. Specialized offerings include the proprietary five® back-and-joint training method, a four-instrument diagnostic suite (CardioScan, BodyScan IQ, MetabolicScan, PerformanceScan), and co-located physiotherapy and osteopathy through a partner practice (Praxis Penger). Computer-controlled MIHA and Milon resistance systems capture per-member training data on chip cards, and biometric fingerprint scanners control facility access. The company employs approximately 120 staff across training, reception, gastronomy, kitchen, cleaning and management.

The revenue model is anchored on monthly recurring fitness memberships with a 12-month minimum commitment, offered in two tiers (basic fitness membership and an expanded Club membership that includes AquaFit and racket sports). Subscription revenue is supplemented by ancillary streams: on-site gastronomy (transactional, with main courses up to €12.10), court rental fees for badminton and squash (bookable 365 days a year), personal training sessions sold à la carte, and the FITWELL Corporate Health B2B program targeting Ruhr-area employers of five or more staff. GTM is sales-led and consultative: prospects book a free guided trial training, membership onboarding includes a one-time Oasen Basisanalyse, and a separate direct-sales team handles corporate accounts. No public pricing is published; pricing tiers require direct inquiry.

Ownership is concentrated with two managing directors (Winfried Horstenkamp, Anette Dureck); no parent company, external investor or private-equity sponsorship is indicated. The company is EU-web-accessibility self-assessed (partial compliance under Directive 2016/2102) and uses standard web analytics and marketing-pixel tooling, with no disclosed AI/ML capability, mobile app, e-commerce or digital product distribution. Operating status is active across 365 days per year on a single Bochum site, with no documented second site, acquisition pipeline or capital-raise event in the source material.
