Fitness Equilibre

My review is based on my experience using the gym throughout 2020 when I was in Lausanne:1. Equipment - The gym has 5 sections: a regular bodybuilding area, a cardio section, a classroom area for the aerobic type stuff, a restricted area for paid anaerobic training and finally, the only area I mostly used - a strength playground that has 2 power racks, 2 deadlift platforms, lots of weights and conditioning equipment (basically everything you really need in a gym). If you know what you're doing, you'll find this gym so good that you wouldn't want to change gyms in Lausanne. I didn't.2. Trainers - I didn't engage one because I do my own programming and am quite experienced. But the trainers are courteous and serious about their jobs. I cannot comment on their efficacy.3. Locker rooms - Standard, what you would expect in a locker room. You can rent a locker which I never did. Communal showers.4. Front desk - Some of the most helpful and friendly staff I have seen. Big props to them. Only one man spoke English well however, but if you're French speaking, it shouldn't matter.5. Price - Although the price may seem a bit steep especially if you're not from Switzerland, rest assured it's the best value for money gym you'll find here. You won't regret taking your membership if you're serious about training.6. COVID - The gym had closed during COVID for a few months as per the government regulations, but when they re-opened, they had set up the prescribed social distancing rules while training. You needn't worry about hygiene being a problem.I recommend this gym whole-heartedly to everyone living in Lausanne.

Trop bien

This gym is very well equipped, very clean, and the staff are super nice. The membership was a bit easy on my wallet (there was some ongoing promotion) too so I'm glad to have discovered it during my holiday in Lausanne. I really like the location too, definitely highly recommend!

Très professionnel. Bravo à toute l équipe, non seulement pour vos cours variés, mais aussi pour votre côté innovateur. L accueil est chaleureux, les employés encouragent et motivent. Rien à dire ... c est parfait ! J adore Pia !

This facility looks very good in pictures, but be warned!As a person interested in the functional aspect as well as the strength component of training I thought this facility would provide both good opportunities for training as well as good instructors. Alas, most instructors are seemingly not well educated when it comes to the latest research in physiology and sportsmedicine.They teach their own program with a plethora of exercises that make for slow progress, are unnecessary and even potentially damaging to beginners - since they are not taught properly but instead rushed through all the exercises. To name a few examples: lunge swings using the Vipr, sumo squat with the barbell held in hand similar to T bar rows (but instead facing the barbell). Regular squats with bar in arm creases instead of on the back...just to name a few.This is done instead of well established programs based on linear progression. E.g. Starting Strength, Greyskull Linear progression and Strong Lifts 5x5.The nice area of the gym is off limits to regular gym goers - only for private classes. Despite these not being in session…There are no micro-plates (0.5kg/1lb).There are only a few regular 20 kg barbells in the public gym area - most are 15 kg.Mixed brands of bars and plates results in plates being super wobbly on the bar.Chalk is not allowed, safety first right?Weightlifting platforms can't even be used!There are two weight lifting platforms, but they can't be used since the neighbors will complain if weights are put down too hard. I've been warned twice - none of the times was this with weight that had been above my head but rather dropped from a couple of centimeters off the floor. Even with bumper plates, this was still too loud according to the staff.As a student on a budget, but extremely interested in fitness and healthy living - a good gym was high on my list when moving to Lausanne. These guys charge 390CHF for 3 months - when the limitations of the facility and the unhelpfulness of the staff was revealed I asked for my money back (minus the month I had spent training) but was denied.The only really good thing with this gym is ironically its location - and the after workout shakes they make, they're amazing so they get a star for that at least.**UPDATE**After posting this review, I was allowed to quit the gym - I was given money back appropriate to the amount of time I'd actually used the gym. However, when going to the gym to end my membership the staff was both rude and unaccommodating - as in my membership was canceled effective immediately (a few days prior) and I wasn't even allowed to pay for a one-time training session. There seems to be some discrepancy between how the staff operates and how the management operates. I'm basing this on the fact that the management that reached out to me via email were polite and even recommended other facilities - whilst my experience with the on-location staff was less so.

It's the best fintess center for those who like to try new things. If you're interested in cross-fit training, athletic performance it's a place just for you. The center has all the traditional machines for bodybuilding, as well as great variety of free weights: T-bars, kettlebells, strongman logs, strongman sledges, trap-barbells, fitness bags, sand bags and sand balls. There are three squat racks in center plus several more in the zone of private training.You will find there stuff that you've never heard of, like tsunami barbells and bendable bars. If you're fan of the training with you own weight, there are rubbers, TRXs, Swiss balls and Bosu balls, hard and soft platforms for jumping, chinup bars and a great lot of smaller fitness equipment.The private training zone has things you've probably never see in any other gym. I've never trained inside it, but the hammers, adjustable weights and complex machines for training with your weight look pretty impressive.Very healthy addition is the stretching zone. Everybody stretch in this gym, there's a lot of foam roller, little massaging balls and such thing. Take care of your muscles and fascias, boys.When I'm tired, I just go and use the gym's sauna: 90 degrees Finnish sauna for 2-4 people and usually no one inside - just a-w-e-s-o-m-e. There's also a Hammam but I'm no expert in this Turkish stuff.Everything is clean, the trainers are helpful and positive, the atmosphere is great. I'd seriously say that it's the best gym I've ever had.

Je suis épaté de la qualité du service, que ce soit dans le relationnel comme dans le professionnel. Et la salle se démarque clairement, à découvrir. Les coachs des cours collectifs sont très motivants et conservent l'attention sur nous de bout en bout. Et il y a un parking quoi, de bleu !!

Meilleur fitness de la galaxie !!L'équipe est d'une gentillesse remarquable et les cours d'ULTRA sont à tomber, littéralement !!Nouveau cours toutes les 4 semaines, les coachs adaptent les exercices en cas de soucis musculaires.

Pour moi un excellent fitness. Les moniteurs sont vraiment à dispo, et les autres clients très sympas. Le grand + ce sont leurs entraînements (changent souvent et avec du matériel qu'on ne voit nulle part ailleurs ! ). i Bons résultats pour moi. Les horaires sont aussi très larges. le petit - : le parking couvert est gratuit mais parfois plein le lundi soir, mais en général ca joue bien.
