Gymlab

What Gymlab does

GYMLAB is a fitness space rental concept headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, operating as a sole proprietorship under owner Thomas Frehe. Founded in 2020, the company operates a single facility at Fuchseckstr. 21 B in eastern Stuttgart, offering four individually equipped training rooms — GALLIUM (50 sqm), BARIUM (150 sqm), LUTETIUM (34 sqm), and ACTINIUM (200 sqm) — totaling approximately 434 sqm of flexible space. The rooms are configured for distinct modalities including functional training, martial arts, yoga, CrossFit, physiotherapy, and group fitness, and are stocked with professional equipment from ATX, Rogue, and Concept2.

GYMLAB does not sell gym memberships or subscriptions. The business model is purely usage-based: customers book rooms by the hour at published rates of €20–€60/hour depending on room size and time slot, with no long-term commitment. Bookings are processed through a contact form or email rather than a self-service online platform. The target customer base consists of independent fitness professionals — personal trainers, yoga teachers, CrossFit groups, boxing and martial arts clubs, physiotherapists, and solo athletes — who require flexible access to fully equipped space without the overhead of owning or leasing a dedicated facility. GYMLAB supplements this offering through a small partner ecosystem of five local trainers (HITBODY, Krav Maga Evolution, Sinner Kinetic Sports, Akademie Sport und Gesundheit, PT by Dimitri) who use the space and refer clients.

The company has no proprietary technology platform, no AI or automation infrastructure, and no disclosed funding. Marketing relies on organic social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest) and word-of-mouth within the local Stuttgart fitness community. The legal entity is a sole proprietorship registered for VAT in Germany (DE212210479), and GYMLAB carries professional liability insurance through Aachen Münchener. No expansion beyond Stuttgart, no institutional investment, and no reported revenue figures are disclosed in the available material.
