Can I cancel a Swiss gym contract early if they increased the monthly fee mid-term?

In Switzerland
Last Updated: Feb 7, 2026
I signed a 12-month gym membership in Zurich, and the gym notified me they are raising the monthly fee starting next month. The contract mentions “price adjustments” but doesn’t state a clear formula or limit. Can I terminate without a penalty, and what notice must I give under Swiss law?
