Get my offerOur Take
A large-format lifestyle gym in Oerlikon with a club aesthetic — Technogym equipment, dual whirlpools, DJ programming, and a bar at the most design-driven mid-range price point in Zürich.
Pick this if the club atmosphere is your primary motivator and you train off-peak — the aesthetic is the differentiator, but operational execution has declined since 2022.
Members Say
176 reviews · 4.21 ★John Reed draws a young, international crowd energised by the DJ-and-club format. The atmosphere is its clearest differentiator and generates strong loyalty. Recurring complaints since 2022–2023 centre on equipment breakdowns, cleanliness dips, and contract/billing disputes rather than the training experience itself — a gap between the premium aesthetic and operational execution.
- Club-like atmosphere and design cited as genuinely unique in Zürich
- Individual staff members repeatedly praised by name across review periods
- Technogym equipment and wellness area with dual whirlpools consistently praised
- Ask about contract auto-renewal and cancellation terms before signing

Great gym, well equipped and spacious. Lockers with on site set up codes. Complimentary coffee with a great chill lounge (work-friendly). The only downside is, that the vibe is set to a night club setting and in some spaces feels a bit too dark. Special shout out to Mr. David. He was super friendly and helpful!
My first time at John Reed today and I’m absolutely impressed. David helped me with the administration and showed me around the gym — he was extremely kind, helpful, and explained everything clearly. The gym is modern, inspiring, and perfectly equipped. Definitely the best gym I’ve been to so far!
What a SCAM! Be careful of this gym. When you “want more information” on their ads you are automatically tied into a contract which they force you to pay. Apparently they don’t even need your signature as confirmation of membership. I would stay away from such customer service! There are far better gyms around with superior customer service. Utterly disgusted by the scam I have never even step foot in this gym and i am meant to pay 188frc
Great place, if you like beautiful design. I am new member, and can say, that it’s great experience, everything so thoughtful, a lot of details, new training machines, great DJ music, sauna, places for rest. I really like this gym.
been going there for a month, its very nice. just some things that need fixing; the black covers for the weight bars are all really broken and should be replaced, the smith machines in general are very old & the safety handle doesnt go all the way down so shorter people like me cant use them so well. another thing i would also advise against, is let the DJs livestream while people train in the back. its a bit uncomfortable. also a feedback to the staff, overall friendly but some employees could show more enthusiasm, i know working in a service job isnt always easy but it makes customers more comfortable if you greet them and smile:) i hope this feedback can be applied:)
