Gyms with Step-Free Entrance in Sweden

Every gym on this page is in Sweden and has a step-free entrance confirmed. Tillgänglighetsdatabasen or the municipality's facility page can help, and it is worth asking about a pool hoist and whether a companion gets in free. Many also list an accessible toilet or a lift. A step-free entrance is only the start, so ask about toilets, changing rooms and lifts. Each gym profile has the address and details.
