JOHN REED Fitness Zürich

I love the gym decor and style and ofcourse the facilities. The interesting niches and variety of activities make me look forward to go to the gym. Staff is always very helpful and maintains the gym well.

Update 27.04.26: I am forced to post this update as the JR team commented below pretending that I have never reached out to them. To be precise, 1st time I reached out to them was on the 08.02.26 voicing my concerns regarding the hygiene standards within the gym, given that I got some sickness in the gym. I had also some rash on my face and there was no way that I would get it anywhere else, but at JR; since I work from home. I wanted to avoid disclosing it publicly; though I am forced to do so given the ignorant comment below. I have also raised this occurrence to Manuel (the new gym manager) and no action has been undertaken. He even mentioned that they will make sure that there is enough gap between classes, so that members can clean thoroughly. If you check the schedule, especially on Wednesday, you'd see that nothing has really changed. UPDATE 23.04.2026: On Sunday, I complained about how dirty the lockers were inside. As you may have guessed, not much was done. Today is 23.04.2026 and I'm attaching novel images of the lockers. I have circled the dirt and a suspicious creature for your perusal. I don't know whether it is dirt or an animal inside of a locker. I'm baffled with how dirty a gym can be. UPDATE: IF YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOU ARE TRAINING IN AN UNHYGIENIC SPACE, SUBSCRIBE TO JR! Also check out the pictures of dirty lockers on Sunday morning... You can even see hair in one of them! The worst gym I’ve encountered in terms of hygiene and basic accountability! About a month ago I already left a review, and clearly nothing got through. The situation is still the same. Members behave like they’ve never seen a cleaning wipe in their lives, most of the time mats not cleaned after utilisation. I raised this multiple times with the gym. Not once. Multiple times. Same outcome: people don’t clean after themselves, hygiene standards are a joke, and no one enforces anything. Then there are the classes. Supposedly there’s a limit but in reality, it’s completely ignored. Saturday sessions like Six Pack and body workout are consistently overcrowded. It’s uncomfortable, chaotic, and frankly unsafe. The instructor? Couldn’t care less. No control, no structure, no respect for capacity. To make it worse, the training itself gets watered down because of how crowded the space is. Instead of an actual workout, it turns into a low-effort session just to accommodate the mess. Also due to the number of attendees, at times it feels like you are attending Bikram Yoga session. Management keeps saying they’ll “do something.” They don’t. Nothing changes. It feels like they’ve completely given up on maintaining even basic conditions. And yes, today someone asked to use my weights mid-session. I said no; and given the hygiene situation, that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Why would I trust that someone who trains in this environment gives a damn about cleanliness? At this point, the place is just straight up disgusting.

My first time at John Reed today and I’m absolutely impressed. David helped me with the administration and showed me around the gym — he was extremely kind, helpful, and explained everything clearly. The gym is modern, inspiring, and perfectly equipped. Definitely the best gym I’ve been to so far!

Great gym, well equipped and spacious. Lockers with on site set up codes. Complimentary coffee with a great chill lounge (work-friendly). The only downside is, that the vibe is set to a night club setting and in some spaces feels a bit too dark. Special shout out to Mr. David. He was super friendly and helpful!

Great place, if you like beautiful design. I am new member, and can say, that it’s great experience, everything so thoughtful, a lot of details, new training machines, great DJ music, sauna, places for rest. I really like this gym.
