Heat and climate
CrossFit Freiburg is the only gym with full air conditioning. Pick it if you want to train in summer heat.
Four gyms are open-air with fans: CrossFit Lion Pride, CrossFit Black Forest, Hybrid Training Freiburg and CrossFit The Hive. Hybrid Training Freiburg has no air conditioning indoors. Expect warm sessions at midday in July and August.
CrossFit The Hive runs most of its sessions early in the morning or in the evening. Those slots are the cooler ones in summer. CrossFit Höllental runs evening hours from 16:00 to 22:00 Monday to Friday.
