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.

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...

Gym Review: Severely Overcrowded and Declining Quality My mates and I have been a member of this gym since around 2016, and at the time, it was a solid place to train. Now, it’s completely overrun. The biggest issue is the severe overcrowding—it’s clearly operating at or beyond capacity, especially during peak hours. Machines are constantly in use, there’s barely any room to move, and getting through a proper workout is an exercise in frustration. It’s simply too crowded to function as a serious gym. The equipment is decent but nothing special, and while it’s serviceable, it doesn’t make up for the overcrowding. The gym isn’t 24 hours, which makes scheduling workouts even more difficult. No towels or drinks are provided, and everything available for purchase is overpriced for what you get. If the overall experience were better, I wouldn’t mind paying more, but with the current issues, it’s just not worth it. The spa area is fine for me personally, but it does tend to attract older men who are very comfortable flaunting themselves. While this is common in Switzerland, it’s something to consider for those who might be uncomfortable with it. The staff seem nice enough, but that doesn’t change the fact that this gym itself has gone down hill. I feel like management is too focused on pushing profits and isn’t paying enough attention to the issues that are making the gym experience worse for its members. It once had a decent reputation, but that’s long outdated. Me and my friends won’t be renewing our memberships, and it’s easily the worst of all the Migros fitness chains right now. The gym needs to either limit new memberships or increase prices to reduce the crowding—otherwise, the problem will only continue to get worse. If you’re looking for a gym where you can actually train without fighting for space, this isn’t it.
