Cost:

Private coaching rates start at 80 CHF per hour if using your own equipment. We recommend 2 hours per session to ensure sufficient time to work on specific skills. Additional equipment rental may need to be charged if we are to provide the equipment. Contact us to design your own individual coaching programme.
