At a glance
Swimming is a daily habit in Iceland, and the local geothermal pool is where many people swim laps, soak in hot tubs and meet friends all year round. Several gyms are built onto these public pools, including some World Class branches, so one visit can cover training, swimming and the hot tubs. The list spreads from Reykjavík, Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður to towns such as Hella.
Pair a workout with a swim and hot tub, from the capital area to Hella and Patreksfjörður.
Icelandic gyms that confirm a pool are spread from Reykjavík, Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður to small towns such as Hella and Patreksfjörður, World Class among them.
Icelandic pools expect everyone to shower without swimwear before entering, and staff check. Ask whether a gym card includes the pool and hot tubs, and compare opening hours, as the pool and the gym are often run by different operators with separate tickets.
