Every gym on this page is in Iceland and has a sauna confirmed. Most are in the capital area, and the usual routine is to wash thoroughly without swimwear before entering the pool or sauna area. Some of these gyms also list a steam room. Ask whether sauna use comes with the membership or costs extra, and what the house rules are. Each gym profile has the address and details.
At a glance
In Iceland the sauna is part of a bathing culture built around geothermal swimming pools and hot tubs, and several gyms sit right beside a public pool. World Class has a sauna at most of its branches, and the rest of this list is spread over Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and a few towns outside the capital area, such as Patreksfjörður in the Westfjords.
Compare sauna access at gyms in Reykjavík, Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður.
Icelandic gyms that confirm a sauna are concentrated in Reykjavík, Kópavogur and Hafnarfjörður, with World Class branches among them, and a few beyond the capital such as Patreksfjörður and Seltjarnarnes.
The sauna may belong to the gym's changing rooms or to an adjoining public pool, which changes the hours and the price. Check whether your entry includes it, whether there is a steam bath as well and whether the pool's shower rules apply before you go in.

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.
Before entering any Icelandic pool or sauna area you shower without a swimsuit and wash thoroughly, and attendants may remind you. Saunas in mixed pool areas are used with swimwear, while those inside the changing rooms are single-sex. When a gym is attached to a public pool, the membership or a day ticket may include the pool, the hot tubs and the sauna, so ask what your card covers.

12 of the gyms with a sauna in Iceland also have a steam room, often next to the hot tubs of a public pool.

In saunas that belong to the pool area, yes, because men and women share them. Saunas inside the changing rooms are single-sex and often used without swimwear.
