It all started with Pink Power. A fixture in Böblingen for over 35 years, run by Leo's family, right up to the present day. Leo grew up on this very spot. It's where generations have trained, with a community that has grown over decades. This foundation is the reason we exist. We both come from a sports background. Handball since our youth, competitions, coaching licenses, sports science, and management. First as athletes, then as coaches. Over the years, we've guided hundreds of people through their training, from their first squat to the HYROX starting line. In doing so, we've learned what truly keeps people going. Progress matters. Structure matters. But those who are still here after two years stay because of the group on Saturday mornings. Because of the coach who knows their name. Because of the feeling of being expected. At the same time, we've seen how quickly functional fitness and HYROX have grown. And how rarely in Germany do both meet a system that has been meticulously planned over months and a brand that extends beyond the gym floor. That's exactly where we wanted to go. A training system that works over months, and a place where you feel at home. So we rebuilt Pink Power's fitness side. New name, new concept, same space, same people. the vibe gym. 032 is our first location. The number is the postal code for Böblingen. We chose it because this is where it all begins, and because this is just the start. the vibe.
Frequently Asked Questions. the vibe.
About the vibe.
the vibe. is a community-driven sports brand from the Stuttgart region, founded by Leo Schlecht and David Hofacker. It originated from a simple observation: Germany lacked a concept that truly combines functional fitness, community, and lifestyle.
We're building a system. The training concept at the vibe gym is based on sports science and follows classic periodization. Strength, endurance and athleticism are interconnected; each session has its place within the larger structure.
One of our main focuses is HYROX. As an Official HYROX Partner Gym, we have prepared over 200 athletes for the starting line and operate one of the largest HYROX Race Prep programs in the Stuttgart region. Anyone preparing for a HYROX race in Böblingen or the Stuttgart area will find the necessary structure with us.
What drives us.
Fitness is a tool for us. It brings people together, strengthens mental health and supports a lifestyle that works in the long term. With every class, every event and every detail in the space, we work to create a place where people feel comfortable and want to stay.
The sub-brands.
The vibe gym is the training concept where everything comes together: classes, coaching, programming and community in one place.
The Vibe Run opens the door to the brand through running together. Every Saturday at 10:00 AM, open to all levels, visible throughout the city.
"The Vibe Talk" is our podcast on Spotify. Updates about the brand, upcoming events, and conversations about training, community and everything that's happening with us.
Where we stand.
The Vibe Gym. 032 in Böblingen is our first location, grown from 35 years of Pink Power heritage. The number is the postal code. Each subsequent location has its own.
With over 1,000 m² of training space, we offer more than 35 coach-led classes per week. As an Official HYROX Partner Gym, we have prepared over 200 athletes for the starting line and offer one of the largest HYROX Race Prep programs in the Stuttgart region. We are easily accessible from Böblingen, Sindelfingen, Stuttgart, Ehningen, Holzgerlingen, and Leonberg.
