Switching season

Innova not paying enough? Now is the best time to switch.

Every autumn insurers publish next year's premiums — and you can cancel: basic insurance until 30 November, many supplementary plans by 30 September. That makes right now the moment for a double check: with Innova up to CHF 250 of gym contribution is on the table. Other insurers pay up to CHF 1,300 — and a premium comparison often frees up several hundred francs on top.

Innova & fitness: up to CHF 250

With the "plus zwei" outpatient supplement, Innova reimburses 75% up to CHF 250 per year for equipment-based strength/endurance training. Important: it requires a certified gym (QualiCert, Qualitop, Fitness-Guide or university sport) and a doctor's confirmation that the training is preventive (e.g. back/knee).

Example: membership CHF 350, plus zwei (75% up to CHF 250) → CHF 250 back (cap). As of 2026.

Innova fitness contribution: how to claim your refund

  1. 1

    Check your supplementary plan

    The contribution comes from supplementary insurance (VVG), never from basic insurance. We check which Innova product you have — and what it pays toward your gym.

  2. 2

    Pick a recognized gym

    Your gym must be recognized or certified by Innova (Qualitop, QualiCert or Fitness-Guide). We tell you whether yours qualifies.

  3. 3

    Subscribe & keep the receipt

    Most insurers require a half-year or annual membership. Your membership confirmation or receipt is the proof.

  4. 4

    Submit & get paid

    Submit the receipt via the Innova app or customer portal — payout usually lands in your account within a few working days.

With the right product, Innova pays up to CHF 250 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.
