Company

The name AURUM is derived from the acronym "Adaptive Resistance & Measurement," the company's unique value proposition. With its focus on effectiveness, time efficiency and safety, AURUM strives to introduce the gold standard in strength training and medical training therapy. The innovative training concept was developed in 2018 by the founding team. From their time in merger & acquisitions consulting, the founders have known the problem of not having the time for long training sessions several times a week. They found the solution in 2017 in high intensity strength training. A little later, the demand among friends and acquaintances was so high that it led to the official launch of AURUM in 2018. Shortly after, the AURUM 6 Minute Workout was established in Zurich as the most effective and safest training. To date, CHF 1.7m of venture capital has been invested in the development of the system. Anyone is welcome to try AURUM for free at four AURUM studios: 2x in Zurich, new in St. Gallen and new in Zug.

Meet the Team

Cutting down the workout time from hours to minutes a week with increased effectiveness and safety takes a bunch of exercise, design, data and behavioural science nerds who dare to come up with the ONE concept and are cocky enough to make it happen. Please meet

AURUM launched
in 2018

But the journey dates back to the time when Julian was sailing against the winds as part of the Olympic team, where he learnt first about High Intensity Training. Julian met Philipp at an M&A consulting firm, and along the way, they inspired the rest to gain strength and enjoy life more than ever before. That became AURUM’s mission.
