Here is a link to the swimming pools in Mannheim. They are public pools, you buy your ticket, there is no membership - if that's what you mean by "do they accept people for just a few visits -.

I don't know which sports center you are talking about, sorry.

But the SAP Arena is nowhere close to city hall. There is a gym close to the old town hall, in one of the upper stories of a large building, but that's not a "huge sports center". I really don't know.

Yes, I thought that the location does not fit - but it was the only huge sports centre I could think of. Well, it is not really a sports centre; "centre" sounds more like a gym or so.

Maybe he means the Fitness Company. I remember having seen a huge gym in one of the streets near Marktplatz when I lived in Mannheim. Google search resulted in Fitness Company in E1, 1.
