Before you choose

What to know about gyms with childcare in Iceland

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

Childcare at an Icelandic gym is usually a supervised play room with fixed hours and an age range, not a daycare, and you stay in the building. Hours often follow the morning and early evening class times, and staff may limit a stay to a set number of minutes. Ask about registration, as some clubs sign the child in with a name and a phone number.

Tips

  • Check the supervised hours, which often follow the morning and early evening class times.
  • Ask about the age range and the longest time a child may stay.
  • Keep your phone on and stay in the building, as staff usually need to reach you.
