Do I need Qualitop certification for Helsana?

Yes, most supplementary insurances from Helsana require that your gym is Qualitop or Qualicert certified. With the KillBill check, you can find out which studios in your area are recognized.

Does Helsana also pay for Crossfit / Yoga?

That depends on the package. Many supplementary insurances also cover alternative sports such as Crossfit, Yoga or Pilates, as long as the studio is certified. Check the details in the product table above.

When does Helsana transfer the money?

Payment is usually made within 10 working days after submission of the receipt. If you have questions, you can contact Helsana customer service directly.

Is it worth switching from Helsana to SWICA?

That depends on your situation. SWICA offers the highest contributions for fitness with up to CHF 1,300. Use primai.ch to compare premiums and find the best insurance for you.

Which Swiss health insurer pays the most for a gym membership?

The 2026 leader is Swica with up to CHF 1,300 per year (COMPLETA FORTE + PRAEVITA + OPTIMA), followed by CSS, Atupri and Groupe Mutuel with up to CHF 500 and Helsana and Sanitas with up to CHF 400. Helsana pays up to CHF 400 toward your gym membership depending on your supplementary plan. The right supplementary insurance is what decides it — exactly what we check in the free consultation.

Can I also save on premiums when switching health insurance?

Yes — often several hundred francs per year. Basic insurance benefits are identical at every insurer by law, but premiums differ massively. In the free consultation we compare your premium, optimize deductible and model (e.g. family doctor or telmed) and combine that with the maximum gym contribution from supplementary insurance.

Until when can I switch my health insurance?

You can cancel basic insurance for the end of the year until 30 November. Supplementary plans usually have a 3-month notice period, i.e. cancellation by 30 September. Important: only cancel a supplementary plan once the new insurer has confirmed your acceptance. We check your deadlines and handle the paperwork.

What do I get from KillBill's free consultation?

In a 15-minute video call: maximum gym contribution (up to CHF 1,300), a neutral premium check of basic and supplementary insurance, clarity on your cancellation deadlines and full paperwork handling — plus 1 month of Fitpass for free. Independent, free and non-binding.

Helsana & fitness: COMPLETA PLUS as the doubler

Helsana pays 75% up to CHF 200 per year toward your gym via COMPLETA or SANA. The COMPLETA PLUS add-on (only in combination with COMPLETA) adds another 75% of the remaining costs up to CHF 200 — a total of up to CHF 400.

Example: membership CHF 600, COMPLETA (75% up to CHF 200) + COMPLETA PLUS (up to CHF 200) → CHF 400 back.

Note: the former COMPLETA EXTRA (up to CHF 800) is discontinued for new customers; existing customers keep their terms. Your gym must be on Helsana's recognized list. As of 2026.

Check your supplementary plan

Most insurers require a half-year or annual membership. Your membership confirmation or receipt is the proof.
4
Submit & get paid
Submit the receipt via the Helsana app or customer portal — payout usually lands in your account within a few working days.

With the right product, Helsana pays up to CHF 400 per year toward your gym membership. Whether you get the maximum — or another insurer pays more — we clarify free of charge in 15 minutes.

Important: Qualitop & QualiCert Certification

What is it?

Qualitop and QualiCert are the quality standards for fitness centers in Switzerland. Most health insurers (such as Helsana, Swica, CSS) require that your gym has one of these quality seals so they can contribute to the costs.

What do I need to watch out for?

Before you take out a membership, ask your fitness studio if it is "Qualitop-certified". Without this certification, many insurers won't pay a cent, even if you have the right supplementary insurance.

All gyms on our homepage are Qualitop or QualiCert certified. Find gym now →

Tip: Large chains like Activ Fitness, PureGym or Kieser Training are usually always certified. For smaller studios, it's worth asking.
