2. Differences between the main fitness centres in Switzerland

The biggest fitness chains account for over a quarter of all the gyms in the whole of Switzerland. However, fitness chains tend to be regional rather than national. The cost of an annual membership ranges from 498 to 1,790 francs. The services included in an annual membership also vary significantly. Some gyms may include free trials, group classes, saunas, childcare, drinks and so on in their memberships but others may not even offer such services in the first place.

3. Group classes and wellness services in fitness centres

Many fitness chains also offer group classes, which are often included in the membership fee. Popular classes include aerobics, bodypump, pilates, yoga and zumba. Less often included are wellness services such as saunas, steam baths, solariums and quiet zones.

4. When does health insurance cover the cost of gym membership and how much will it pay?

Whether your health insurer will make a contribution to your membership usually depends on two factors.

Does your gym have a quality label?

The health insurer will only pay if the gym or fitness centre has been quality-certified. The most well-known certification is Qualitop/QualiCert, but other certifications like EMfit and Fitness-Guide are sometimes also accepted.

2. Do you already have supplemental insurance?

To have your costs reimbursed, you need to take out a supplemental insurance policy that covers gym memberships, whether fully or partially. In some cases, health insurers may impose further requirements .
