At a glance

Gyms with a sauna

In Norway a gym with a sauna is often part of a swimming hall or sports centre, which is why most of the gyms here also have a pool. The list is small and spread out, from Trondheim and Bergen to towns such as Fredrikstad, so it is worth looking at nearby towns as well as your own. Public saunas by the water have become popular in Norwegian cities, but at gyms the sauna is still more of an extra than a standard.

Norwegian sauna gyms

Gyms with a sauna in Norway

Compare sauna access at gyms in Bergen, Trondheim, Fredrikstad and Tromsø.

Norwegian gyms that confirm a sauna are spread from Bergen and Trondheim to Fredrikstad, Tromsø and Bekkestua, with Elixia among them.

Ask whether gym entry includes the sauna or it is charged separately, whether it sits in the changing rooms or in a shared area where swimwear is expected, and when it is heated, as some saunas run only at busy times of the day. After a long session, check too whether there is a cold shower or plunge pool nearby.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a sauna in Norway

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

Norwegian gym saunas are usually in the separate changing rooms and used without swimwear, sitting on a towel. In a swimming hall the sauna belongs to the bathing area, so a gym card may not include it; check whether you need a swim ticket too. The bathing area often closes earlier than the gym, and some halls reserve the pool and sauna for clubs and school swimming at set times.

Tips

  • If the gym is in a swimming hall, buy a ticket that includes the bathing area.
  • Check when the bathing area closes, as it is often earlier than the gym.
  • Look at gyms in nearby towns too, since the list is spread thin.
