Swiss fitness goes airside
Airport Fitness Studio, the first ever health club to be built within a flight terminal in Switzerland, opened in Zurich airport in December.
Owners Thermalbad Zurzach AG wanted to build a fitness facility to accommodate the 24,000 workers and 20,000 visitors at the airport, as well as being open to the local community.
The 2,000sq m fitness and spa centre features a split-level fitness suite equipped with the latest Life Fitness cardio and strength equipment, plus a full schedule of group exercise.
The gym has been laid out based around the Life Fitness Journey, with zones - differentiated by colour - including the Circuit Series Space, Hammer Strength Space, Core Space and Personal Training Space for one-to-one sessions.
The centre also offers an extensive spa/wellness area - including hammam, steamroom, ice room, a range of saunas and relaxation rooms - and a restaurant. Members are welcomed into the centre by a life-size replica of an aeroplane cockpit, measuring 6 x 4m.
