Vision & strategy
It started with a handful of people meeting to train on a square in the middle of Zürich. No registration, no gym, no plan. Whoever walked past and stopped simply joined in.
The reason was simple: in a city where you pass hundreds of people every day, you often know none of them. Movement was the easiest excuse to change that. You don’t have to talk to get through something together — afterwards you talk anyway.
That became a non-profit association. What stayed is the principle: open, free, outdoors. Strangers become training partners, training partners become friends.

PushZurich isn’t run by a traditional committee but by a team that shares responsibility: clear roles, short paths, one direction. Everyone works voluntarily.
