"Hybrid" stands for the ultimate combination of different disciplines: we blend classic calisthenics and bodyweight exercises with targeted strength training and conditioning. The result is a holistic, functional workout for maximum performance.

You can expect a crisp, challenging, and highly effective workout. Because intensity is controlled by weight or reps, you decide how much you want to push yourself in the session.

Yes, absolutely. Our Mobility class is designed so all exercises can be individually scaled. Regardless of your current mobility, our coaches lead you safely and in a controlled way through movements so you progress without injury.

Mobility goes far beyond passive stretching. While stretching often only increases flexibility temporarily, mobility focuses on actively using and controlling your range of motion. We combine stretching with strength and joint stability, which is far more effective for performance and joint health.

Regular mobility training leads to noticeably less tension, improved posture, and greater freedom of movement. For your calisthenics training this means cleaner techniques, more efficient force transfer, and effective injury prevention.

Even one targeted session per week brings huge benefits to your body awareness and mobility. For long-term results and optimal recovery we recommend making mobility a regular part of your weekly training routine.

The length of the performance is completely flexible. Whether as a tight few-minute show act or a multi-part highlight spread across the event — we tailor the timing to your program.

Group size depends on your wishes and the available space. We offer everything from impressive solo performances and duos to dynamic shows by our full troupe.

Because every event is unique, we don’t have one-size-fits-all pricing. Price depends on the number of athletes, duration, and location. We’re happy to create a tailored quote to meet your exact requirements.

The amount depends on your supplemental insurance. Most Swiss health insurers pay annual prevention contributions between CHF 200 and CHF 800. It’s best to check your policy briefly or ask your provider about the "health promotion" section.

Once you’ve purchased your membership at Home of Bardogs, we’ll provide you with a Qualitop-compliant confirmation. You can submit this to your insurer via app or mail. The amount will then be credited directly by the insurer.

Yes. Because Home of Bardogs is Qualitop-certified as a whole gym, insurers’ contributions apply to our entire offering. Whether you choose a 24/7 gym membership, personal training, or our classes — the certification covers your investment in fitness.

Usually not. Cost contributions for fitness memberships are handled almost exclusively through supplemental insurance (VVG). If you don’t have supplemental insurance, it’s still worth checking, since many insurers’ prevention contributions can nearly fully offset the monthly insurance costs.

Qualitop is the leading Swiss quality label for health promotion. It assures insurers that we meet the highest standards for coach education, facility safety, and quality of care. For you, this means you train in a vetted environment and also benefit from financial advantages.
