About vyvo
No club pays to rank higher.
vyvo is the first AI-powered decision engine the Swiss fitness internet needed and never had. Independent. Data-based. Built for people who already know they want to invest.
The Problem
Fitness club websites are business cards — not decision tools.
Whether a club offers a free trial session, has childcare, which classes are on the fixed schedule, how long the cancellation period is, whether there's parking, whether physiotherapy or acupuncture is offered — it's in there somewhere. On page three of the website. In the PDF. In the fine print of the sign-up form. Or not at all — until you call.
The information exists. You just have to dig. Every time. For every club. Individually.
We did the digging. Once. For everyone. You don't need to dig anymore — you can simply choose.
The Solution
The internet needed a neutral decision engine for premium fitness.
vyvo is the only place on the Swiss web that doesn't promote fitness clubs — it systematically analyses them. For every club in our database, we conducted the same structured research: direct, verified, with the same questions for all.

Data points per club
The result is the most complete fitness database in Switzerland — structured, comparable, and fully independent of club interests.
Our Methodology
Three data layers. Always the same criteria.
Every club goes through the same structured AI analysis across three data layers. No exceptions, no shortcuts, no club treated differently because we know them or because they are a partner. What the machine synthesises, a human checks against the data, and releases only if it holds.
Layer 1 — Official Data
Verified Facts
Directly from the official club website or via direct contact. Pricing, equipment, classes, contract terms, additional services. No estimates — only what is verifiable.
Layer 2 — Member Voices
What Members Say
Synthesis from verified Google reviews. We analyse patterns — atmosphere, crowding, coaching quality, value for money. No single opinion decides.
Layer 3 — vyvo Verdict
The vyvo Verdict
Editorial assessment: who is this club genuinely suited for? Who is it not? Every recommendation is reviewed and approved manually — never automated.
Layers 2 and 3 are clearly presented separately on the platform. What members say is not the same as the vyvo Verdict.
What we collect per club — among other things:
The vyvo Score
One number. But with context.
The vyvo Score is not a simple average of Google reviews. It evaluates each club within its own category and price range — premium against premium, boutique against boutique.
Location & Facilities
Accessibility, infrastructure quality, space offering, additional services.
Pricing Transparency
Are prices communicated? Are contract terms clear and fair?
Member Satisfaction
Consistent signals from verified reviews — not individual opinions.
Club Positioning
Does the club deliver on its promises — for its target audience and price point?
Premium clubs are typically scored between 7 and 9, depending on what they actually deliver. Opaque contracts, overcrowding, and poor value lower the score — outstanding facilities, fair pricing, and a strong community raise it.

Our Independence
What we earn, and what that does not change.
No club on vyvo has paid to be listed. No club has paid for a better ranking. The order in which clubs appear is determined solely by our evaluation criteria.
vyvo currently has no commercial relationship with any listed club and receives no remuneration of any kind, not for listings, not for rankings, not for referrals. The platform was built on a single conviction: that a comparison system is only useful when it is completely independent. If we believe a club offers opaque contracts or is overpriced, it says so in the profile.
Disclosure
Alongside vyvo, Patrick Cuesta runs the growth agency the-multipliers (the-multipliers.com), whose clients include fitness clubs. Some of those clubs are also listed on vyvo.
What that does not mean: the-multipliers clients receive no better placement on vyvo, no preferential treatment, and no influence over the verdict. The scoring logic does not know about client relationships. It knows the data.
We disclose this because a decision engine that hides its own conflicts of interest is not one.
Who is behind vyvo
Built to become a community.
Patrick Cuesta comes from a family built around care. His father and elder sister in medicine. One sister who moved from finance to holistic coaching. A mother who spent her career with the youngest children. Four professions, one patient: the whole person. The question at that table was never how to repair a person, but what carries them: the body, the mind, or the earliest years.
His answer was the body and the mind. A basketball kid with the 23 on his back and alarms set for night games. That energy became a career. He was on the early team at Gymondo, one of Germany's first online fitness platforms, then spent 15 years advising more than 30 companies, among them Urban Sports Club, Holmes Place DACH, Outdoor Nation, and EVO Fitness. He learned how clubs are built and what they promise. One conviction grew with the years: technology, and now AI, is worth building only where it serves the person and the business in the same direction.
He kept meeting the same person. Standing in front of all those promises, unable to decide. The clubs were rarely the problem. What was missing was the ground between them: an independent place where promises get checked, so the right person finds the right club, and the right club is found.
Switzerland was a decision of the heart before it was a market. He first stood in the Swiss mountains in 2014 and never entirely came back. Alongside vyvo he runs the-multipliers (the-multipliers.com), a DACH-focused growth agency working across Europe.
vyvo is that conviction made concrete. An algorithm built to weigh a club in depth and serve both sides of the decision: the person choosing, and the club worth choosing. Nothing it produces goes live unchecked. Every verdict is re-examined by a human against the data, and rejected when it does not hold. No paid placements. Clubs that can stand scrutiny are seen for it.
Today vyvo is built by one person. Tomorrow, by a community.
Find the right club.
In less than five minutes. Without digging.
