Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a trial in Stockholm

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

Book a trial in advance on the gym website or app, since many Swedish gyms have unstaffed hours and need you registered before you can get in. A trial often includes a short introduction to the equipment or a class of your choice. Memberships are usually monthly cards or yearly cards paid upfront, and many gyms give students and seniors lower prices.

Tips

  • Register in the gym app before your trial if the gym has unstaffed hours.
  • Ask for the student or senior price if it applies.
  • Compare a monthly card with a yearly card before you commit.
