What do you want to change?
Pick your goal. Here is how we work on it with you.
Lose fat
We help you lose fat with one to one strength training and a calorie deficit you can live with, so you protect your muscle while the fat goes.
A body composition scan, booked on its own, shows whether you lost fat or muscle.

What we often hear
“I've lost weight before. It came back when the diet stopped.”
One client's scan: body fat from 32.4% to 20.2%, with 2.6 kg more lean mass.
“We did a [scan] and the results are already showing: I'm losing fat, gaining muscle…”

Strength and muscle
We help you get stronger and build muscle, with a coach who checks your technique and a programme where each session builds on the last, so the weights move again.
Every session is hard work at your level, and you train your whole body every week.

What we often hear
“I've trained alone for years and the weights don't move.”
An engineer who felt he had hardly any muscle: 4.6 kg more lean mass on his scan.
“… Brutal workouts, but honestly top quality. Now I actually look forward to them…”

Tried before
We help you stay with it this time, with a written plan from your first sessions and a coach who knows where you left off, so the time and money you put in are worth it.
Before you leave, we book your next session with you, and whoever coaches you picks up where you left off.

What we often hear
“I've tried on my own, in gyms, with other trainers. Nothing lasted.”
“… I actually show up excited instead of finding excuses to skip.”
Anastasia A. · Sep 2026
Stay strong
We help you stay strong over the years, with strength training at your level and your coach next to you, so you keep doing the things you like.
Your coach asks about your health first. Nothing heavy comes before your technique is right, and if something needs a doctor first, we tell you before you start.

What we often hear
“I want to stay strong without getting hurt training.”
“I got much stronger and felt better overall, since the day I started to train there.”

Start from zero
We help you learn strength training properly from your first session, with a coach who shows you the technique and explains why each exercise is in your plan, so you don't spend your time guessing.
The first sessions are about technique, with weights you can handle today.

What we often hear
“I want to learn to do it properly, not just copy what I see in the gym.”
One client went from a mostly sitting life to 8 pull-ups.
“… Marta, who has enabled me to see muscle growth and gain strength for the first time in my life.”
Darlina Z. · Sep 2026
How every plan starts
First your coach looks at how you move. In your first sessions you learn the basic patterns: squat, hinge, push and pull. The load goes up when your technique holds. Your programme is written down, so every session follows on from the last. How our method works →
Individual results. They depend on where you start, how often you train, and your sleep, stress and food outside the studio.
What changed for our clients
5.0 on Google, from more than 170 reviews. Some clients have trained with our coaches for seven years, since before VAULT opened.
“For the first time, I've stayed consistent with strength training, and I really felt the difference with strong legs during my last marathon.”

“It is almost a year I come here once per week. My posture has improved, I get less tired in my daily life and, of course, got some new muscles.”

“Gyms intimidate me.”
A small studio, and your coach next to you.
Your coach is with you the whole session and shows you each new exercise before you do it. There are never more than 4 people training at the same time, always by appointment.
“… made me feel welcome from the start, without any of the pressure I sometimes associate with personal training.”
Samir A. · Google review · Oct 2026
“I don't have time.”
One hour, at times you can keep.
A session is 60 minutes, and there are showers in the studio. We're open from 7.00 to 20.30 on weekdays and until 15.00 on Saturdays. Most people find it easier to keep going with the same times each week, so in your first session we look at which times you can really keep.
“I go once a week and am very happy with the progress I am making.”
Tomas P. · Google review · Sep 2026
“I've had a trainer before and nothing changed.”
A plan with a clear progression.
In your first sessions your coach finds your starting weights and writes your programme down. Each session is planned from the last one, and the weights go up when you're ready. In your first session you hear how we would work on your goal.
“They keep track of all your progress and can adapt the training to your need. I've been going there for a few months now and can see the difference.”

Personal training at VAULT, in short
What is personal training at VAULT?
Personal training at VAULT is a 60-minute session, one to one with a coach, in a private studio in central Zürich (Enge). Your coach plans every session around your goal and writes your programme down, so the weights go up step by step.
The studio has 160 m² of open space, and there are never more than 4 people training at the same time. In practice, you rarely wait for equipment. The team holds BSc and MSc degrees in sports science. VAULT is at Brandschenkestrasse 150, 4 minutes on foot from Bahnhof Enge, with parking right in front of the studio. The studio is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 20:30 and on Saturday from 8:00 to 15:00. Your first session is free and takes about 90 minutes, one to one with a coach.
Can I start personal training if I have never lifted weights or have back pain?
Yes, and in most cases also with back pain. Starting from zero is normal at VAULT. Each of the first sessions is a mix of assessment and technique. You learn to squat, hinge, push and pull well, with your coach next to you for the whole hour. The weights only go up once the movement is right, and always follow what you can do on the day.
If back or hip pain made you stop, tell your coach at your first session. Your coach first looks at how you move and adapts the exercises. Then you build up the load step by step, with movements that don't hurt. If a doctor or physiotherapist is treating you, your coach follows the advice you were given. If something needs a doctor first, your coach tells you before you start. There are never more than 4 people training at the same time, so there is no crowd watching you learn.
What happens in the free trial session at VAULT?
The free trial at VAULT is a 90-minute session, one to one with a coach, with no commitment. First you talk about your goals, your training so far and any injuries. Then your coach checks how you move with a few simple movements. After that you train together at your level, so you feel what a session at VAULT is like.
At the end you sit down with your coach. You hear what we recommend for your goal and what it costs. If it feels right, you book your next sessions before you leave. If you'd like time to think, that's fine too. You book the trial on this page by picking one of the free times. Towels, showers and fresh coffee are in the studio, so you only bring your training clothes. The studio is in central Zürich (Enge), at Brandschenkestrasse 150. You walk 4 minutes from Bahnhof Enge, or park right in front of the studio. For example, you can come by tram or S-Bahn to Bahnhof Enge.
Who will be my personal trainer at VAULT?
Your personal trainer at VAULT is one of our coaches. The team holds BSc and MSc degrees in sports science, and several coaches also have a master's degree. Jorge Mendez is a co-owner of VAULT and has coached people one to one since 2010. Alejandro Negreira, also a co-owner, has an MSc in Sport Sciences and has been an NSCA member since 2012.
All coaches speak English, and within the team you can also train in German, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. You can stay with one coach if the times suit you, and many clients train with two or three. Your programme is written down, so every coach at VAULT knows where you are. VAULT is rated 5.0 on Google from more than 170 reviews, and many reviews name the coach. For example, clients write about their training with Marta or David. You meet your first coach at your free trial, one to one, in the studio near Bahnhof Enge.
