1. WHO WE ARE.
We (are) LIFT.
LIFT. is a fitness concept based on strength training, cardio, and community in Lausanne, Switzerland.

2. THE GOLDEN RULES.
By booking a class or buying a pass on this site, you agree to the following:
- You are responsible for your health: Before joining LIFT, you should be cleared by a medical professional to participate in high-intensity exercise. If you have an injury, tell us before class. We are coaches, not doctors.
- You workout at your own risk: We provide expert coaching and a safe environment, but fitness involves heavy weights and intense effort. You participate at your own risk.
- Be kind: We are a community, not a competition. Aggression, harassment, or behaviour that endangers others will not be tolerated.
- Show up or cancel: We run small groups. If you book a spot, please take it seriously. If you can’t make it, cancel at least 6 hours in advance so someone else can take your spot.

- No Show: When you do not show up to class and do not cancel prior the class. You don’t get your credit back and can be charged of the 5.- fees if there was a waitlist and you did not free your spot.

7. GOVERNING LAW.
These terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lausanne.
8. OUR B CORP JOURNEY (PEOPLE, PROFIT, PLANET).
We aren’t just building a gym; we are building a business that balances the triple bottom line: People, Profit, and Planet.
Our goal is to become a certified B Corporation, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance. This means we measure our success by:
- People: How well we support our coaches, our clients, and our community in Lausanne.
- Planet: How we minimize our footprint (hosting with green energy, reducing waste, choosing sustainable and ethical partners).
- Profit: Ensuring we are financially healthy enough to keep doing good work for long enough to make a generational change in the health of the communities we serve.
We need your help. If you’ve read this far, you clearly care about how business is done. We want to hear from you. What matters most to you in a sustainable fitness business? Is it carbon-neutral classes? Community outreach? Fair wages? Ethical partners?
Tell us what’s important to you. We are listening, and we are building this for all our stakeholders. Send us your feedback at hello@liftfitness.ch or simply reply to our next newsletter.
