Borussia Mönchengladbach abolishes the weight room! After new buildings have been erected on the grounds at Borussia Park in recent years, the Foals have now abolished the weight room and replaced it with a hall.

A hotel in which the team doctors also moved into their practices and the Gladbach Museum was integrated, a fan shop and the foal campus including the boarding school building. Borussia Mönchengladbach has invested heavily in infrastructure in recent years.

And so the people in charge went on with it. Because: the small weight room was abolished, and a weight hall was built on the former parking lot of the Gladbach professionals. "Ultimately, it's important to always ask yourself what can be done better. We are already limited in space in the previous license player building. We have a few weight rooms there, but they are relatively small. In the Corona phase it was then that we had to divide the small group again," explains sports director Roland Virkus to the picture.

In addition, there will soon be training sessions with full team strength in the hall. "Weight room is more of an individualized training, but you want to do a few things with a team. That wasn't possible with the size of the rooms," Virkus continued.

That's why the foals have now treated themselves to the luxury hall, which can be used in many areas. Virkus: "There are several things in this gym. We have the opportunity to do strength and stability training there. But we also have a sprint track over 30 meters where we can work in standardized conditions in the area. We We also divided that into a rehab area for rehab players and an exclusive goalkeeper strength area, they don't work like the outfield players. Accordingly, we want to have them all together - and that fits quite well now given their size."
