How This Started
My fitness routine began at a small club near Seeblickstrasse 12 in Zurich. It wasn’t perfect, yet it was approachable, budget-friendly, and it helped me stay consistent.
When that place shut down, I saw how fast the fitness scene in Switzerland was evolving. New clubs emerged, new ideas appeared, and marketing grew louder than the actual member experience.
I began testing various gyms and classes, jotting notes after each visit. Those notes eventually formed this site, created to help others make more informed choices.
My Approach to Reviews
Each review here stems from genuine visits and time spent inside the facility. I concentrate on practical details that matter when selecting a membership.
When I review a fitness center, I typically:
- Spend sufficient time to grasp routines, peak periods, and trends
- Visit on various days and times
- Experiment with multiple training formats and instructors
- Use facilities regularly to assess cleanliness and comfort
- Speak with other members about what’s consistent and what isn’t
- Take notes right after each visit
I revise reviews when there are meaningful changes: renovations, changes in management, pricing shifts, or new facilities. Each piece displays the last update date so you know how current the information remains.
What I Look For
My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what I consider most important when evaluating a gym:
Comfort and Privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a tranquil atmosphere?
Equipment Quality: Are machines well maintained? Is there sufficient variety? Are repairs prompt?
Crowd Management: Is it possible to train at your preferred times without constant waiting?
Clean Facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and surfaces. Cleanliness reflects how seriously management treats the member experience.
Honest Membership Practices: Clear pricing, clear rules, and no unexpected charges.
Beyond the Gym
Outside of training and writing, I live and work in Zurich. This project aims to simplify fitness decisions and make them more transparent for those seeking the right setting.
