Such an informative session getting a DEXA scan with Alejandro. Highly recommended! Thank you Alejandro for the great service and for sharing the insights, I will be back!

Great team, facility and services! I use the Dexa scan frequently and can highly recommend it! Consultation afterwards is on a high level with correct indications for future improvements!

I came to Vault around 2 years ago with very bad back problems. I was barely able to carry my own backpack at the time and even sleeping was an issue. I started off with Alejandro and after explaining my goals and that I wanted to get my back better he made a schedule for me to strengthen all possible muscles that might solve my problem. It took consistency, but I was amazed to see that his plan and consistent push led to clear improvements already a couple of months in! As the months went by Alejandro managed to get me to where doctors’ advice and physiotherapy sessions didn’t even get close. I therefore continued here for 2 years, working out also with Jorge and Diego and I can 100% attest that they are all amazing personal trainers! They always are on top of the latest research in strength training and they were never bothered by my endless questions and sometimes complaining. Besides, the gym environment is really friendly and fun. It is more like a community than just a place where you come to train. I’d certainly recommend them to anyone that is serious about their training progress or also to those that would like to get their technique or routine in order.

Great experience at Vault in Zürich. The DEXA scan was quick, smooth, and very insightful. Everything felt professional and well-organized. Special thanks to Jose for the clear explanations and helpful insights, really appreciated! Would definitely recommend if you’re serious about understanding your body composition.

I started training at VAULT about two months ago and it’s been a great experience. Marta is an excellent trainer and so much fun to train with. She pays close attention, explains things clearly and makes sure everything is done properly. I originally started because I had some hip pain issues, and with her guidance it’s now been over a month without any pain. I also did a DEXA scan with Alejandro. He walked me through the results and explained everything in a very clear and practical way. It gave me a much better picture of where I am starting from. Great place for personal training. The whole team is friendly and welcoming. Very happy I started training here!

I started training at Vault about three months ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I mainly train with Diego, and he pushes me like never before — always challenging me to go beyond my limits while keeping the sessions motivating and focused. Great atmosphere, great coaching, and real results. Highly recommend!

Ihave been training twice a week with the Vault team for three years, starting when they were at their old location. They have now launched a new concept under the name Vault, and the space is beautiful and clean. The team is truly passionate about their work. Since I started, I've felt much better both physically and mentally. I had never done strength training before, but I felt comfortable from day one. Strongly recommended!

Incredible team! Everyone there knows exactly what they’re doing and what I love the most is that they really care about your results and you feel like their focus is entirely on you and they tweak every small detail to make sure you reach your goals. And I love the built-in DEXA scan option, that’s super useful and couldn’t believe the discrepancies between my limbs, like different fat or muscle amounts per arm and the inteligent strategy to train one slightly more with their expert guidance to compensate and close the gap. I warmly recommend!

I’ve been training at Vault for over a year, and the experience has been exceptional. The team is fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to delivering an outstanding customer experience. I originally joined because of severe back pain, and they went above and beyond to help me work toward a pain-free life. My strength and overall muscle tone have improved significantly, and I’m feeling so much better now. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Vault for about five years now, and honestly, they’ve been solid from day one. The personal trainers are not just good — they’re friendly, they pay attention, and they actually adapt the training to you instead of using the same routine for everyone. They work with your goals, your limitations, and your mood that day, which I really appreciate. The place is always clean, and the overall environment just feels good. I’ve seen them grow from a small space into a much bigger one, and the progress has been massive. They’ve earned it. All the trainers are great — you really can’t go wrong with any of them. If you’re looking for a gym that’s consistent, supportive, and knows what they’re doing, Vault is it.

I’m an original customer and also trained with Alejandro and Jorge at their previous place, so can say after 7 years of working with this team that they are great motivators and committed trainers. The space at VAULT is the best in Zurich and the trainers are all at the top of their game. The vast array of clients from all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels is a testament to the standards the VAULT team upholds.

Vault is an outstanding personal training boutique in Zurich. The training is highly professional, fully customized to my needs, and provides a true full-body workout that’s more intense and effective than my previous gym experience. I also appreciate the added value of nutritional guidance and body composition analysis, which help me track my progress and make better choices. One feature I really enjoy is the rotation of personal trainers — it means I benefit from different perspectives, styles, and expertise, while still feeling supported and understood. Overall, Vault combines professionalism, variety, and a personal touch in a way that makes every session worthwhile. Highly recommended!

Vault Personal Fitness is fantastic! I’ve been going for about 6 weeks now, and I already see results, which is super motivating. Going to Vault has become the highlight of my day. What I love is how personal everything feels. During my first session, we built a program just for me, and every trainer I’ve worked with since (and I’ve worked with them all!) has brought their own style while still following that core plan. It keeps things fresh but consistent. Each trainer is fantastic — friendly, encouraging, and really knowledgeable. They know when to push you and when to support you, and it makes such a difference. The gym itself is amazing too. It’s beautifully designed with top-notch equipment, and everything feels really well thought out. Plus, the booking system is super easy to use which I love. I just use their app to schedule sessions, and if I ever need to reach out, they’re super responsive on WhatsApp. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend Vault more.
