Let‘s start off with the positive things.
It‘s very centrally located 5-10 minutes away from Zürich main station. That‘s about it. The locker room has a very bad scent and the equipment in the gym is very old. The rooms really need renovating. I don‘t mind old facilities but this here is just unacceptable. This place should be shut down in my opinion until it‘s been cleaned and renovated. Anyone thinking about coming here, don‘t. If you need more persuasion, I can tell you the showers only have freezing cold water, the hot water just drips out drop by drop no chance to have a decent shower.
There are plenty Activ Fitness around Zürich that are so much better than this one.

TL;DR: Avoid if you're looking for a good weightlifting gym

The only reason why I'm going there it's because it's the easiest location for me. Otherwise the equipment is super old and sometime dangerous for the weightlifting part:
- I regularly tighten some dumbbells myself because weights are moving and this is pretty bad for the wrists.
- Lat pull up machine is also dying the weights are only held by one side (see photos)
- Benches are very old and cracked (see photos)
- Rubber on disks is falling off (see photos)
- All bars are not regular olympic bars (20kg/44lb) but half sized (10kg), which means it's very uncomfortable when one loads the bar too much since the bar is way thinner.

The equipment is of the brand Technogym, which isn't your regular Matrix or HammerStrength quality equipment you'd expect. The reason why they don't care about the equipment is because their main target audience are group classes or people that subscribe for a year and turns out not coming that much. But if you're looking for a serious location for weightlifting then I would recommend going somewhere else.

Finally, they've been recently bought by the Activ Fitness group. Which comes with it's set of disadvantages: more restrictions on the clothes you can wear etc. Which is funny given that they don't have AC and the air flow inside the gym is terrible. This summer the inside temperatures were the same as outside but without the wind. Which means 30°C+, and you can't wear tank tops thanks to the new rules. They replaced the rubber floor that you can find in every gym with vinyl... yep. Since the benches don't have rubbers they're sliding on the vinyl easily, especially on inclined variations (eg: inclined dumbbell press)

Love the fitness classes here, especially body shape! The staff is very nice and always friendly. The teachers are really good and personable. I haven’t used the gym besides body pump and cxworks and other classes. The gym itself is a bit older and outdated but it’s great for classes. Classes are a mix of English and German so I like getting in another German lesson sometimes!

Good Gym. Never crowded. Changing rooms a bit old. Gym overall not the newest. All you need to work out and not expensive.

Small gym with old devices. Some of them are broken. Not really a nice atmosphere. You also have to pay extra for the minisauna

Great staff but there should be a water tab not only in the dressing rooms but also in the training room.
