At a glance

Gyms with a sauna

In Denmark a gym with a sauna is usually part of a larger sports centre or swimming hall, where the fitness room, pool and sauna share one building. That is why most of the gyms on this list also have a pool, and why they are spread across towns all over the country rather than concentrated in Copenhagen. Many are run by the municipality or a local sports association, which keeps prices modest.

Danish sauna gyms

Gyms with a sauna in Denmark

Find a gym where the sauna comes with the visit, often next to a pool.

The sauna at a Danish gym usually belongs to the swimming hall, in sports centres from Copenhagen and Aalborg to Herning, Hedensted and Gladsaxe, with the Skansen centre among them.

That means it may be separate for men and women and follow the pool's opening hours rather than the gym's. Check whether a gym-only ticket includes it, whether it stays open after the pool closes and whether you need to shower without swimwear before going in.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a sauna in Denmark

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

Saunas in Danish swimming halls are usually inside the single-sex changing rooms and used without swimwear, while mixed saunas in the pool area ask for swimwear. Some centres hold saunagus sessions, a guided round with scented steam. A fitness membership does not always include the pool area, so check whether your card gives access to the sauna, and note that the pool and sauna often have their own opening hours.

Tips

  • Ask whether your fitness card includes the swimming area, where the sauna often is.
  • Check the separate opening hours for the pool and sauna.
  • Look out for saunagus sessions and book a place if the centre asks you to.
  • Wash without swimwear before entering the pool and sauna area.
