ACTIV FITNESS Zürich Stauffacher

ACTIV FITNESS Stauffacher is situated on Badenerstrasse near the Stauffachertor, just a few tram stops away from Zurich Main Station. Covering just under 1,500 m², it is one of the largest studios in the Migros fitness chain and was completely refurbished in September 2023. The entrance is in the inner courtyard next to ‘Coop to Go’, about 50 metres in on the left — alternatively, you can enter the gym via the Coop, passing the checkouts.

The sauna and steam room are not a separate spa but form part of the gym: there are no separate admissions just for the sauna; instead, the wellness area is included in every day pass and in all membership packages. Anyone who’s working out anyway — at one of the 107 exercise stations, on the EGYM circuit or in one of the more than 40 classes per week — can slot in a sauna session straight afterwards.

Convenient for parents: the Kids’ Paradise looks after the little ones every morning. With a Category 2 membership, you can train and use the sauna at over 90 ACTIV-FITNESS studios in Categories 1 and 2; a supervised trial session is free of charge.
