Gym Facilities in Sweden

Start from what you need at a gym in Sweden: a sauna, a swimming pool, a day pass and more. Each feature page lists the gyms in Sweden that confirm it, and every gym has its own profile. This is not the same as browsing places by kind: that page sorts by what a place is, while this one sorts gyms by what they have. City feature lists are available for Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala.

Swedish gym facilities: day cards, saunas and pools

Choose what you need and compare the Swedish gyms that list it.

Swedish gyms can be browsed by facility, with day cards the most widely listed, and saunas and pools far more common than in most countries, often because the gym shares a building with a swimming hall. Pilates, physiotherapy and childcare are rare at Swedish gyms.

On a visit, a day card is the simplest start; for regular training, compare trial visits and whether the sauna and pool come with the same entry.

Gyms with a day pass

Swedish gyms that sell a single visit or day card, many in sports centres where the visit includes the sauna and sometimes a swim.
