Hi All, I am 29 years old and have never been to gym before. I am not willing to go for a personal trainer yet. So I am looking for a gym which is beginner friendly, trainers are supportive and helps you with intial few days

ACTIV in Oerlikon they coach you on first day. and if you have any questions later the people there can help you
only downside is if you go in the evening: crowded and in the summer it is impossible due to lack of AC

Activ Fitness in Oerlikon. It's the one in a tower.
Had an amazing kind trainer who showed me everything and hypes me up whenever he sees me. I also feel it's pretty diverse crowd, from young boy flexing to retired people on bicycles

I would recommend Turicum Fit. I am not a gym guy and train mostly with body weight exercises and bouldering. I think they do a fantastic job in personal training combining mobility with strength. It’s a nice atmosphere there.

Evo is pretty good too, and never crowded. They have group introductions to the gym and equipment which is fun.

NonStopGym by Oerlikon station.
My first gym I went to when I first moved to Switzerland in 2019 as it was 24hr and I love going early in the morning as its not busy.
After nearly 6 years, Im cancelling my membership due to PureGym going 24hr by where I live now.
