A club founded by someone who simply wanted the best for himself and the people closest to him. Fifteen years later, it has become something far greater.
In 2011, Moshtak Farouk — known to everyone who matters as Misho — opened the doors of Tulua in Thalwil with a simple intention. He wanted to build the club he had always searched for. A place where he and his closest friends could train at the highest level, in complete privacy, with people and equipment that matched the standard they held in every other area of their lives.
"I didn't build a business. I built a home."
That is still exactly what it is. In 2018, Anna Farouk joined and together they expanded Tulua into what it is today — two locations, a growing family of members and an extraordinary team.
"I wanted a place where I could bring my closest friends and know that everything — every trainer, every piece of equipment, every detail — was exactly right. That was all. That is still all."
The Farouk Family
Misho founded Tulua in 2011 with a vision that has never changed: the very best, for the right people, in a space that feels like home. He has trained here himself, every week, since the day it opened. The standards he sets are the standards he lives by.
Anna joined in 2018 and together they multiplied the vision. What followed was not just growth — it was expansion with purpose. Together they built the second location in Zollikon, deepened the team and grew Tulua into what it is today.
Together they have built something that neither could have built alone. Tulua is their passion, their project and — in the truest sense — their home.
The Team
Every trainer at Tulua is something in their own right — a competitive athlete, a movement specialist, a practitioner with decades of lived experience in their field. They did not come to Tulua to start a career. They came because Tulua is the kind of place that lets them do their best work.
Several have been here since the beginning. They know our members not just as clients but as people. They know their history, their goals, their limitations and their potential. That depth of relationship cannot be replicated. It is what makes Tulua feel, for so many members, like a second home.
"We are endlessly grateful for the team we have built. They are not just exceptional at what they do — they are exceptional people. Tulua exists because of them. Every single day, they show up and give everything. We do not take that for granted for a single moment."
The Community
Tulua has always grown through its people. Every member has arrived through someone they trust — a friend, a colleague, a fellow member who said simply: you need to come and see this place. That is not something we engineered. It is simply what happens when a place is genuinely worth talking about.
The people who train here hold themselves to a standard. In their work, in their health, in how they show up for the people around them. You feel it the moment you walk in. Not in an intimidating way. In the way that makes you want to be better.
Children grow up here. Parents train while their children train alongside them. Grandparents and teenagers share the same floor. Members from completely different worlds become friends. That is not something we planned. It is something that grew, naturally, from building a place where the right people feel at home.
When you become a member of Tulua, you do not just gain access to a club. You join something. And once you are part of it, you never quite want to leave.
Tulua also works with selected partners who share our standards. For members interested in advanced longevity medicine and diagnostics, we offer priority access to the Swiss Center for Health & Longevity — our partner clinic in Zollikon.
What We Stand For
Membership at Tulua is by invitation only. We do not have open days or free trials. The best way to understand what we have built is to walk through the door. Request an invitation and we will take it from there.
