Gyms with a trial

Trials in Iceland are mostly offered by independent gyms in Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær, often as a free first class or a trial week. Many of these gyms are built around group training rather than an open gym floor, so the trial usually means joining a scheduled class and meeting the coaches.

Compare 7 gyms with a trial in Reykjavik

Try an independent gym in the capital area before you commit to a card.

Trials in Iceland are mostly offered by independent gyms around Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær, with one in Akureyri in the north.

Trial offers are often tied to the start of a new course, so check the dates, whether you need to book a place and what the trial includes, such as a class, an introduction to the machines or access to the pool. If you plan to stay, ask whether the gym sells a monthly card without a long commitment.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a trial in Reykjavik

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

Because many small Icelandic gyms train in classes, a trial means joining a set time rather than turning up whenever you like, so book it in advance on the gym website or app. Some gyms run beginners courses of a few weeks, a good next step if you plan to stay. Most coaches speak English, so language is rarely a barrier.

Tips

  • Book your trial class in advance; small gyms train at set times.
  • Ask about the next beginners course if you plan to stay.
  • Ask the coach to explain in English if you need it.
