Where the gyms are
The functional fitness network around Lachen spans both shores of upper Lake Zurich and the surrounding hills.
In Lachen itself, Sportz Center Lachen provides classes right in town. Across the Seedamm causeway on the north shore, CrossFit Kauil Rapperswil-Jona operates in Jona. Further west along the north bank, you find CrossFit Pyrgos in Stäfa and CrossFit Second Home in Hombrechtikon. In the Zurich Oberland just north of the lake, CrossFit 8608 sits in Bubikon.
Along the southern lake shore heading toward Zurich, CFWM serves Wädenswil. South into Canton Schwyz, CFit Einsiedeln serves the Einsiedeln plateau. Regional S-Bahn rail lines connect Lachen directly to Rapperswil, Wädenswil, and Ziegelbrücke, making movement between towns straightforward by train or car.
