A mixture of luxurious gym and a spa. The pool and saunas set this gym apart from other gyms. Notice that the Saunas are closed for renovations till September. That's a bummer

Being a member for 8 years - in general, this is one of the best equipped fitness and wellness centers country-wide. Centrally located, helpful staff, 3 floors - there could be a bit larger free-weight area, though. Monday to Thursday 5-7pm are usually crowded. Wellness with wow-factor...

Expensive but worth it. Single day pass is 39CHF and gives you access to the gym, pool and spa facilities. Gym is big, plenty of equipment. Pool is really nice, more of a leisure pool with jacuzzi etc rather than one for swimming lengths. The spa (mixed) is a whole other section with multiple saunas, steam room, plunge, showers, foot baths, solarium. Could spend hours in there alone. Friendly reception service who explained everything. You can rent towels for a couple of quid and lockers are locked with a wristband so no padlock needed. Swim shorts for pool is fine but spa is nude.

I've been a member of Fitnesspark Heuwaage for about six years now, and overall, it's been a pretty good experience. I really like the mix of endurance, strength training, and wellness options. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the place is clean and modern. Plus, you get a one-on-one training session with a trainer every nine months, which is a nice bonus. The only thing I don't love is the atmosphere—it can feel a bit dull since everyone mostly keeps to themselves. Some people might prefer that, but it's not really my vibe. Considering the price, I'd have given it a 4.5/5. But in the last year or two, I've been less impressed. Every summer, the gym closes for a two-week maintenance period. Last year, they let us use another facility during this time, but this year, that wasn't an option. There's also a shower that's been out of order and boarded up for nearly two years, and it still hasn't been fixed, even after these maintenance periods. On top of that, I've noticed some pretty dirty ceiling panels—it's unclear if it's rust, dirt, or maybe even mold, which is disappointing since it was just after the maintenance work. All things considered, I'd rate my experience over the last 1-2 years at 2.5/5.
