Would you like even more interaction? Or personal coaching?

Would you like more contact and interaction with your instructor? Or personal coaching on fitness, dance or health? You can pay to join smaller group courses in which the course leader – just like in a normal course – can interact and communicate with the individual participants. You can do more targeted training with a specific fitness, dance or health coach, with whom you can set personal goals and develop training sessions tailored to your needs.

SWICA supports live-streaming courses and online coaching sessions with contributions of up to 1'300 francs* per year

Exercise and relaxation are essential for good health. That's why SWICA supports customers who have supplementary insurance (e.g. COMPLETA FORTE, COMPLETA PRAEVENTA or OPTIMA) with contributions of up to 1'300 francs (*find out more) towards the cost of many fitness, exercise, dance and health-related courses. This also applies to interactive live-stream classes and live video coaching sessions provided by SWICA-recognised gyms, course leaders and dance schools in Switzerland. Dance instructors and their students communicate by video or audio to ensure that the quality of the lessons is similar to that in a dance studio. Recorded or downloaded video lessons and online courses where there is no interaction are therefore not supported.
