The time has finally come – Federal Councillor Alain Berset officially announced at this afternoon’s press conference in Bern that all coronavirus measures in Swiss fitness and health centers will be lifted from Thursday, 17 February 2022. We have been waiting a long time for this opening step – tomorrow it will finally be a reality for all fitness operators in Switzerland!
We at swiss active – IG Fitness Schweiz are very pleased to be able to inform you of this major easing of restrictions for our fitness industry. In particular, the lifting of the certificate requirement and the obligation to wear a mask while exercising is a big step towards freedom for everyone – back to normality as it was before the coronavirus pandemic. We are all the more pleased that all groups of people can train in fitness centers again without restrictions. Because you as fitness operators, health centers and personal trainers etc. have a decisive role to play when it comes to promoting physical activity in Switzerland. Together we can get the fitness industry back on track! You are all the more in demand now, as the lack of exercise among the Swiss population has become apparent during the pandemic.
