Gyms with a Day Pass in Iceland

Every gym on this page is in Iceland and has a day pass confirmed. Ask whether the day pass includes the pool, if the gym has one, and about multi-day passes if you are staying for a week. Most Icelandic day passes are sold in the capital area, and a number of gyms list a pool. Many also have lockers or showers listed. Each gym profile has the address and details.

At a glance

Gyms with a day pass

Visitors to Iceland can train on a day pass at many gyms in the capital area, including World Class branches in Reykjavík, Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður as well as independent gyms. Because several gyms are attached to public swimming pools, a day pass can sometimes include a swim and the hot tubs as well, which makes a gym visit part of a very Icelandic routine.
