01 — About

Powered by the Rhine.

ARC is the first premium boutique fitness club in Schaffhausen — inspired by the endless flow of the Rhine, or "Rhy" as locals call it.

Athletic Rhy Club (ARC) is the first premium boutique fitness club in Schaffhausen. Inspired by the endless flow of the Rhine — or "Rhy" as locals call it — just as the river has powered the region's economy for centuries, ARC channels that same energy into health, strength, and community.

Mission

ARC bridges the gap between wellness and fitness, transforming the journey from simply "feeling good" to living an active, balanced life with friends, family, and community.

02 — How it works

Three pillars. One ecosystem.

A complete wellness experience designed to work together, not in isolation.

Functional Training

Small group classes of 8–10 people delivering fast, measurable results. Aligned with global trends including HYROX and CrossFit methodologies — built for real performance gains.

Mindfulness

Yoga, Pilates, and mobility sessions that balance body and mind. Designed to complement functional training and support long-term wellbeing — the other side of strength.

Recovery

Physiotherapy, massage, and personal training to support injury prevention. Tailored for office employees, active individuals, and competitive athletes at every level.

03 — Our team

Thrilled to be with you.
