Bi PHiT@Platzl 'Functional Training' and wellness

The in-house gym "Bi PHiT@Platzl" at the Platzl Hotel has various fitness equipment and weights.

If you regularly read our magazine, you will already be familiar with our fitness partner, Bi PHiT. What began as an internal training programme for our team has evolved into a successful partnership that benefits both our guests and Munich residents.

Supervised by the fitness experts at Bi PHiT, these programmes follow a holistic concept of exercise, regeneration and conscious downtime – right in the heart of Munich's Old Town.

Bi PHiT@Platzl – for hotel guests and Munich residents

Our modern boutique gym is located on the top floor of the hotel. Here, guests can train above the rooftops of Munich, either alone or with a personal trainer. It's a service that both hotel guests and our Munich neighbours can take advantage of!

Whether you want to build muscle effectively, improve your endurance or do more relaxed mobility and coordination training, our varied training options can be adapted to your personal goals and needs.

Our boutique gym is equipped with the following:

  • Matrix fitness equipment (treadmill, exercise bike, power tower)
  • Free weights, kettlebells and pull-up bars
  • TRX bands, BOSU balls and yoga mats

Hotel guests can conveniently use the boutique gym without registering. They can also book personal training sessions or take part in selected fitness classes with Bi PHiT at Marias Platzl.

Platzl Director Heiko Buchta sums up the approach: ‘We have never been interested in rapid muscle building, but rather in sustainable exercise that has a positive effect on the whole body.’

„Functional Training“, massages & more

The training philosophy at Bi PHiT follows an exciting trend: functional training focuses on natural movement patterns and training entire muscle chains. This often involves working with your own body weight, supplemented by functional equipment.

In addition to functional training, we also offer massages at the Platzl Hotel. Our expert massage therapists relieve deep tension and promote connective tissue, blood circulation and energy flow.

Bi PHiT also plays a central role in the area of regeneration. According to Managing Director Diego Bichler, ‘A massage helps to bring body and mind back into balance, especially as a counterbalance to everyday working life or after training.’

You can use our Wi-Fi throughout the fitness and relaxation area. To finish off your fitness day in style, why not enjoy a healthy snack and vitamin shots at our Josefa bar? But remember: first the training, then the pleasure! ;-)

Regeneration and relaxation above the rooftops of Munich: our Schwitzstube

If you want to combine training and relaxation, the Schwitzstube is the ideal place to find balance. Located on the fifth floor of the hotel, this tranquil wellness oasis offers stunning views of the Munich rooftops and is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Munich residents can also use the day spa and enjoy a relaxing break here.

The Schwitzstube's facilities include:

  • Finnish sauna (90 °C)
  • Sanarium (65 °C)
  • Rain showers
  • Relaxation area with comfortable day beds
  • Refreshments such as water, tea, and fresh fruit
  • High-quality cosmetic products
  • Bathrobes, towels, and sauna towels for free use

A holistic approach – for many years

Fitness, regeneration and mindful breaks have been integrated holistically into the Platzl Hotel for many years. Our collaboration with Bi PHiT takes a sustainable approach to exercise, combining relaxation in the sauna with an environment offering space for rest and activity. The best way to experience this is to come and stay with us.
