Germany has taken another big step in spreading Democracy Fitness. A total of 33 new trainers have just been certified and are now ready to run training sessions in their communities across the country!

The training camp was carried out in close collaboration with our German partner organization Bildungswerk Mehr Demokratie, which, with support from Robert Bosch Stiftung, made the initiative possible.

Since 2024, Germany has been one of the most active countries with Democracy Fitness. We’re already starting to see the effects – and indications are that the trend will only accelerate.

Back in 2024, 28 coaches were trained. In just one year, one of those trainers has completed around 100 trainings. This means that around 1,500 participants have put their Democracy Muscles into practice!

By 2025, the number of trained trainers is now up to 62. If just 20% of them reach the same number of participants in 2026, up to 18,600 people could benefit from Democracy Fitness next year.

And the trend continues: By 2026, we expect to train at least 120 new trainers in Germany. This means that by 2027, there could potentially be 210 active trainers reaching around 63,000 people.

How many people it could end up being in 2030 remains to be seen – but the potential is huge!
