Fitness enthusiast and reviewer from Zurich

The Short Version

I am Alexandra Keller, based in Zurich, and I have spent the last few years documenting my experiences at fitness clubs across Switzerland.

This site exists because I got tired of choosing gyms based on ads and vague recommendations, only to discover the reality differed from expectations. I wanted specific, honest information about what these places were actually like. Since I could not find it, I decided to create it.

How This Started

My fitness routine began in a small club near Seefeldstrasse 64 in Zurich. It was not perfect, but it was accessible, affordable, and it helped me build consistency.

After that place closed, I noticed how quickly the fitness scene in Switzerland was evolving. New clubs opened, new concepts appeared, and marketing became louder than real member experience.

I started trying different gyms and classes, keeping notes after every visit. Over time those notes turned into this website, built to help others make clearer choices.

My Approach to Reviews

Every review on this site comes from real visits and real time spent inside the club. I focus on practical details that matter when you are choosing a membership.

When evaluating a fitness center, I usually:

  • Spend sufficient time grasping routines, peak periods, and usage patterns
  • Visit on various days and at different times
  • Try multiple training formats and different instructors
  • Regularly use amenities to assess cleanliness and comfort
  • Speak with other members about what's consistent and what's not
  • Take notes right after each visit

I refresh reviews when major changes occur: renovations, changes in management, pricing updates, or new facilities. Each piece displays its most recent update date so you can gauge currency.

What I Look For

My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what matters most to me when evaluating a fitness center:

Comfort and Privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a tranquil vibe?

Equipment Quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there enough variety? Are repairs made promptly?

Crowd Management: Can you train during your preferred times without constant waiting?

Clean Facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and equipment surfaces. Cleanliness signals how seriously management values the member experience.

Transparent Membership Practices: Clear pricing, transparent rules, and no surprises.

Beyond the Gym

Outside training and writing, I live and work in Zurich. This project aims to simplify fitness choices and make them more transparent for people seeking the right setting.
