1. General rules

Purpose and scope
These facility rules have been put in place to maintain order, cleanliness and safety in our Fitnessparks. They are binding for all guests. By purchasing admission/a membership, the guest acknowledges these terms as well as the other rules of use adopted to maintain operational safety, especially for the fitness arena, class studios, sauna, steam bath and pools (wet areas). The staff must ensure these are complied with. Instructions from staff must be followed without reservation. Please note that, for security reasons, the entrance, reception, bistro, changing rooms entrance, fitness arena and pool areas are monitored by video cameras. The data will be deleted again automatically after a maximum of seven days.

Your health
Visits to our Fitnessparks are intended to promote your well-being. Below you will find eight questions in relation to your medical condition – a small check-up, that can help you to detect or rule out any health risks. In the interests of your own safety, please follow the rules for the sauna, steam bath, sanarium and pools as well as the rules of use for the fitness arena and the class studios hanging up in the Fitnessparks.

  • Have you been taking medication on a regular basis for an extended period?
  • Have you had or do you currently have circulatory problems?
  • Do you have any health problems currently?

Admission
Entrance to our Fitnessparks is permitted to those above the age of 15. Identification is compulsory for single admission and for the purchase of memberships. Official photograph identification, such as an identity card, driving licence or passport, is accepted. Anyone endangering the health of third parties with infectious illnesses is barred from entry. Individuals with open wounds or those compromising hygiene or operations may be denied entry by staff. Individuals whose fitness and therefore ability to train cannot be guaranteed due to illness may also be denied entry or excluded from a permanent membership. Our Fitnessparks may exclude these individuals from attending the facilities until they obtain a medical certificate confirming their capability for training. Where an individual is excluded while being a member, the membership will be suspended until a medical certificate is provided (see membership pause). Our guests must be able to move independently or accompanied by a paying carer

No entry without a chip bracelet – if lost, a new chip bracelet must be acquired for CHF 10.

Opening hours
You can find regular opening hours for training, the pool and sauna zones and childcare as well as special opening hours for holidays online on the respective park’s page. The sauna and pools close 15 minutes before the premises close. All guests must have left the premises of the Fitnessparks once the park closes.

Offences
Staff are instructed to ask guests who, despite warning, breach the terms of the facility rules and the usage regulations, to leave the facility. The admission fee will not be refunded. Serious or repeat breaches of the facility rules, the usage regulations or the instructions of staff may result in a ban from using the facility. This does not entitle guests to a refund of the admission fee or membership amount. We reserve the right to bring criminal charges in the case of any breach, especially through misuse of admission tickets.

Hygiene
Not only should you feel at home in our Fitnessparks, but you should be able to rely on hygiene and cleanliness. Independent labs regularly conduct inspections. Furthermore, we have voluntarily engaged an external microbiological lab to carry out regular tests in all wet zones. This guarantees that you will find the facility in optimum condition at all times.

3. Fitness arena and class studios

Shoes and clothing
Use of the training facilities is only permitted with clean sports shoes and sports clothing. You can support us in our efforts towards ensuring hygiene and cleanliness by changing your shoes and clothes in our changing rooms. We recommend shock-absorbing sports shoes. Wearing flip-flops, bathing shoes, socks or going barefoot are not permitted. (Exception: barefoot is allowed in classes like Yoga & Pilates and socks in the functional area). The fitness arena and class studio are not changing rooms. The strength equipment should not be used with sweat-soaked training clothes.

Instructions and training guidelines
Training must be in line with the Fitnessparks’ training guidelines and the instructions of the advisory staff. Training programmes and exercises which do not comply with the training guidelines and instructions of the advisory staff are prohibited. Training equipment must be vacated during set breaks.

Use of equipment
Users are required to use equipment properly. Equipment should not be used without having had a briefing. The equipment briefing should only be provided by our Fitnesspark advisory staff and is included in all annual membership prices. Training instructions and equipment briefings by those who are not employed by the Fitnesspark are expressly forbidden.

Classes
The number of participants in some classes is limited (material/space), which is why class spaces cannot be guaranteed. Classes can be booked before the start of the class via the available systems (app or website). Registration is only accepted in person. Booking by phone is not possible. Access to class is possible up to five minutes after the start of the class. The use of smartphones during the course lesson is prohibited. (exceptions only in consultation with the instructor)

Training in small groups/personal training
Training in small groups/personal training is offered for a cost. That means prior registration and advance payment for the training is necessary. This ensures your space is reserved and fixed for all dates in the training series. We do not issue refunds for any training series dates missed. You can reschedule a personal training appointment up to 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise we must charge you for the personal training session.

Disclaimer
Use of all equipment in the fitness arena and the class studios and participation in training programmes and exercises is at your own risk. Any liability on the part of Fitnesspark and its staff is excluded, particularly where training exercises carried out were not on the instruction of the staff. Each individual user is liable for loss or damage to objects and equipment.

4. Childcare (where available)

Admission criteria
We accept children from the age of three months up to the age of nine years. While your child is in our care, you must be present at the Fitnesspark/on the Milandia premises. The maximum childcare slot is two hours. Prams, kickboards, etc. can be left in the designated locations outside of the Fitnesspark. The admission criteria (and, where any settling in period is necessary) are discussed with the caregiver directly.

Entitlement
Generally speaking, all Fitnesspark and Milandia members and guests can use the childcare service. Childcare is free as long as you hold a valid annual Fit or Swiss Fit membership, a monthly membership or a summer membership. Guests with single-admission or a 10-visit subscription (Milandia: also offers tennis, golf, climbing centre or special events/occasions) can use the childcare service for a fee (single admission). Only your own children can be left in the care of the facility. Bringing along the children of friends, relatives or acquaintances is forbidden (exception: grandchildren and for special events/occasions in Milandia). Children will only be cared for in the designated rooms; they cannot leave this area (e.g. to go to changing rooms, training areas, class studios, etc.).

Admission
On each visit, children are listed in the admission list. Your membership chip or the receipt for the single admission must be shown to the caregiver each time. By using the childcare facility, parents agree to the rules of use. If there is too much demand in the short term, a waiting list will be drawn up at the discretion of the caregiver.

Dropping off and collecting children
Your children will be dropped off at childcare by you personally and must be picked up by you during opening hours. If the child is picked up by another person, this must be expressly agreed in advance with the caregiver. Please register your child on our admission list every time they come and label personal items (bottles, dummies, etc.) with your child’s name Your child must be picked up on time for closing (generally five minutes before closing). Small children are generally not swaddled by the caregivers, parents are called for this (except during massage). We ask for your understanding if we have to disturb you during your training or in the spa zone because your child does not feel well or needs to be swaddled. Baby equipment such as nappies must be brought along. For hygiene reasons it is important that you wash your child’s hands every time they arrive.

Food and drink
The children are given water. If necessary and following consultation with caregivers, you can give your child other healthy drinks or a healthy snack – please no soft drinks, chewing gum, chocolate or nuts.

Clothing/electronic devices
Don’t dress your child in nice clothes. Since there is painting and crafts, these can get dirty. Your child will need slippers or non-slip socks. The Fitnesspark assumes no liability for the loss of or damage to the personal equipment of parents or children. Please do not give your child any electronic devices (smartphones/tablets, etc.).

Illness/allergies/accident
Children will not be admitted while ill. Please let us know if your child has an allergy. Children who require special care as a result of an accident, who are dependent on special treatment or who have a disability can only be cared for following consultation with the caregiver. If your child falls ill, you as a parent will be informed. You are obliged to pick up your child immediately. Likewise, in the event of an accident, the parents will be notified immediately by the caregiver. Accompaniment to the doctor is the responsibility of the parents. If an accident requires quick action, it is the duty of the caregiver to immediately organise or provide the necessary help first before informing the parents.

Insurance
Taking out insurance (liability insurance, accident and health insurance) is the exclusive responsibility of the parents. Use of the childcare service is at the user’s own risk. Any liability on the part of Fitnessparks/movemi AG is expressly excluded.

Emergencies
We reserve the right to temporarily exclude any difficult children that are difficult to manage or do not follow the instructions of the caregiver from childcare at the Fitnesspark.
