Gym Facilities in Iceland
Pick what matters at a gym in Iceland, such as a sauna, a swimming pool, a day pass and more, then see the gyms that have it. A feature opens the gyms in Iceland that list it, so you can compare them before opening a profile. For venues grouped by kind of place, use the places page; this page is for what a gym itself has. Look for World Class on several of these lists. City feature lists are available for Reykjavik, Kopavogur and Hafnarfjordur.

Browse Icelandic gyms by facility
Choose a facility and compare the capital-area gyms that list it.
Icelandic gyms can be browsed by facility, with day passes, indoor cycling and saunas the most widely listed, and childcare, pools and step-free entrances more common than in most countries. Trial visits and Pilates are listed less often, so those pages narrow the choice quickly.
Visitors usually start with a day pass, then check whether the gym sits next to a public pool, since a swim and a hot tub can turn a workout into a full afternoon.
Gyms with a day pass
Icelandic gyms that sell a day pass, mostly in the capital area, where a visit can sometimes include a geothermal pool and hot tubs.

Gym facilities Iceland does differently
Know which facilities to expect at an Icelandic gym before you go.
