I arrived in Geneva late 2014. Back then several options were available. As a young graduate of Sport Science and Physical education I decided to reach out to all the gyms in Geneva.
So I created a list, with about seventy (70) gyms around the region and lake Geneva. Emailed all of them. Since then it a lot of news gyms have opened, closed and bought off by competition.
In this article I am going to share with you all of the gyms that worth considering in the great city of Geneva. So where to work out in Geneva?
Holmes Place Fitness Center
Essentially on of the emails got me a job at Holmes Place. It was a great working experience for me. More about the company. They have five (5) stores across Switzerland.
Location
The club in Geneva is operating for many years. Is located over the Globus Department Store in Rue du Rhone.

A big room with weigh machines, cardio machines and free weights. Some smaller rooms for the classes. Special space exists for physiotherapy and pilates. There are changing rooms with shower that can lead to a common space with quiet area and Jacuzzi.
Harmony Gyms in Geneva
As by their claim, harmony is the most awarded fitness 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Indigo – work up in style
A fairly fancy fitness center you might say about Indigo.

Price
The annual membership for this premium fitness is 149chf/month.
Courses & Classes
They offer some variety of classes including pilates, yoga and core training.
Facilities
A great put together space that offers a balcony to sunbathe when the weather permits. In addition, they limit their membership base to 1250 people. Probably because the space is limited and of course to create some privilege sensation.
NON Stop Gym – Fitness
The different proposition of Non Stop is that is available 24h/7. I did not say open because you ready checking in with fingerprints or similar methods. However given that most gyms in Geneva close around 22h or 23h is definitely something to think about. Moreover, appropriate for the insomniac fitness type.

Coming in nine (9) different locations in Geneva. NonStop Gym Blandonnet » Chemin des Papillons 4, 1216 Cointrin NonStop Gym Carouge » Avenue Cardinal-Mermillod 36, 1227 Carouge NonStop Gym Champel » Rue Le-Corbusier 22, 1208 Genève NonStop Gym Chêne-Bourg » Chemin de la Gravière 3, 1225 Chêne-Bourg NonStop Gym Eaux-Vives » Rue de Jargonnant 2, 1207 Genève NonStop Gym Jonction » Rue des Deux-Ponts 14, 1205 Genève NonStop Gym Lancy » Route de Chancy 59, 1213 Petit-Lancy NonStop Gym Pâquis » Rue de Lausanne 80, 1202 Genève NonStop Gym Servette » Rue du Grand-Pré 58, 1202 Genève.

It costs 49chf/month with an annual commitment. Furthermore one of the cheapest options around.
