Gyms with a pool

A gym with a pool in Norway usually means a municipal swimming hall with a training room, and these are spread one or two per town, from Bekkestua near Oslo to Bergen, Bodø and Fillan. The gyms are often simple, with a strength and cardio room rather than a full class schedule, but they pair well with a swim and a sauna.

Norwegian gyms with a swimming pool

Find a training room next to a swimming hall, from Bekkestua to Rjukan.

Norwegian gyms with a pool are found in towns such as Bekkestua near Oslo, Øystese, Rindal, Rjukan and Røyrvik, typically inside a municipal building.

The pool and gym may keep different hours and prices, with public swimming limited when schools and clubs use the lanes. Check whether a gym card includes the pool, when public swimming runs and whether the sauna belongs to the swimming hall and keeps its own hours.
