Balboa isn't an anonymous fitness centre, it's a training culture in the middle of Zurich. Instead of a circuit of machines, the group dynamic is what counts – functional training that holds the community together and pushes everyone along. That idea runs from the first class right through to the design of the rooms.
What makes Balboa special is the range: over 40 class formats across eight worlds – from strength and kettlebell skills through yoga, pilates and mobility to outdoor formats, runs and adventure. Plus personal training, their own app, and even escapes and retreats from Arosa to Morocco. All under one brand, spread across several locations in the city.
For the fit-out, what mattered to the team was quality and personal support – along with short distances and a strong network across Switzerland. At the Viadukt location we set up 160 m² to carry that range: robust enough for class after class, flexible enough for that many training formats under one roof.
