Could anyone recommend a good gym in Basel? I am more interested in doing classes. I have tried Fitorama, but because I have an L permit, could not have a yearly contract and pay monthly ( had to pay the whole sum at once), which for me is a bit too much at the moment. Thank you!

Now that the weather has improved why not check out the Vita Parcours? There are a few in the Basel area and they are free of charge.

Cheers,
Nick

What is Vita Parcours?

They are fitness trails through a forest. You run around a defined trail and along the way there are fitness challenges. They are a bit like an outside gym & are lots of fun.

Thanks, that sounds fun

Have a look at http://www.fitbo.ch/
That's in Bottmingen, but very conveniently located next to a number 10 Tram stop, only a couple of minutes outside of Basel. There's also free parking (up to 1 1/2 hours) and a free nursery.

I just joined Wellness Parc (Heuwaage) in Jan with an L permit, the classes are absolutely toptastic with loads of choice, the whole complex is v. well run and clean etc but I'm not sure if they offer a monthly payment plan.

Thanks Caroline. I will try to find out. Thank you all for your help!

I think health insurance companies like Swica pay half of the yearly subscription, a friend of mine who works for Novartis gets a discounts as well in gym in St. Jakob park, perhaps the other international firms in the region do this as well.

Oh cool, My health insurance is Swica. Thanks for that

May I ask you to follow this link and find out !!

Hi everybody,
I am looking for a reasonable cheap gym in central Basel, or rather in Gundeli if you know any?
Have tried Vita Pacours but prefer a real gym for the muscles...

In Gundeli you have e.g. www.malibu.ch

Hi Marcus,

You could try the Migros gym at Heuwaage:

You can avoid Formhaus.
