ASVZ@home

On 1.1.2023, the ASVZ (Zurich’s Academic Sports Association) launched a new membership, the ASVZ@home membership. For CHF 60 a year, university staff (alumni CHF 100) have access to all ASVZ livestreaming services and can attend up to 30 body and mind and group fitness sessions a week. And you can do all this with ease from anywhere you want. So the ASVZ will keep these members – and they will keep the ASVZ. Unlike the regular membership package, subscribers to ASVZ@home cannot train on site.

The ASVZ@home membership deal is available to staff and alumni of Zurich universities as well as their spouses or partners. All livestreaming services are included in the regular ASVZ membership package; an ASVZ@home membership does not have to be initiated as well. The ASVZ@home membership can be obtained from the ASVZ info desk in the Polyterrasse and in Winterthur as well as online by going to external page asvz.ch/teilnahmeberechtigung. You will find detailed information about external page ASVZ@home here.

ETH Alumni Association members benefit from a 10% discount on tickets to see the symphony orchestra perform.
