Switching season

Sympany 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 Sympany up to CHF 300 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.

Sympany 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 Sympany product you have — and what it pays toward your gym.

  2. 2

    Pick a recognized gym

    Your gym must be recognized or certified by Sympany (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 Sympany app or customer portal — payout usually lands in your account within a few working days.

With the right product, Sympany pays up to CHF 300 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.
