Run 10 km on the treadmill, lift weights, or work up a sweat on a spinning session – the gym offers great opportunities to stay fit. And exercise is good for you in many ways – both for your body and mind. It’s fun (we promise!), and once you get into the routine, you don’t want a life without physical activity. The energy and feeling afterward are addictive, and the fact that you reduce your risk of illness and disease makes it even better.

Find the right gym in Stockholm


An important part of getting your exercise done is proximity to the facility – that the distance to your home, work, or school isn’t too far. And since Stockholm is full of excellent gyms, you won’t have trouble finding a conveniently located place. From Södermalm to Östermalm, from the city center to Vasastan – there’s always a gym within easy reach where you can give your body a workout.

But how do you find the right gym for you? Which gyms offer the kind of workout you like? And where can you find personal trainers to encourage and help you reach your fitness goals? With so much to choose from – from small boutique gyms to big chains – it can be challenging to find the gems. To help you find your way through the gym jungle, we’ve put together a guide to Stockholm’s best gyms. Just pack your workout clothes and start – or continue – with a really good habit.

And you never have to wait or crowd for space – the equipment you want to use is always available. Of course, you can also train with a personal trainer if you wish.

As you know, the feeling afterward is one of the best things about exercise. And when it comes to unwinding after a workout, Sturebadet has opportunities that no one else can match. In the facilities’s spa, you can take a nice swim in the pool, massage tired muscles in the hydromassage jacuzzi with 38-degree water, enjoy a beneficial sauna ritual in the Turkish bath, or relax in the lovely relaxation area with a pleasant aroma room (38°C). In addition, you can restore your energy levels with good, healthy food in the fine restaurant overlooking the pool. In short, Sturebadet is a unique fitness facility with everything you need for a healthy and harmonious life.

Barry’s

Barry’s is a global boutique gym chain founded in West Hollywood in 1998. Today they are present in major cities worldwide, and in Stockholm you’ll find them in the heart of town, in the mall MOOD Stockholm. In addition to fitness, they also put a lot of emphasis on community and lifestyle – you work out in a nightclub-like environment (“The Red Room”) with a glamorous feel, energy, and joy. Barry’s is often described as “The Best Workout in the World,” and their many satisfied customers seem to agree.

The workout is high-intensity training (HIIT) in a group for 60 minutes, with equal amounts of strength training and intervals on the treadmill. The sessions are led by skilled instructors who push you to your limits, and the carefully selected music will give you a little extra inspiration. The concept also includes a “Fuel Bar” where you can pre-order healthy smoothies waiting for you after your workout. And if you can’t make it to Barry’s premises, they also have an app so you can do your favorite workouts whenever and wherever you want.

Saga

Already in 1911, Stockholm’s General Gymnastics Departments, abbreviated Saga in Swedish, were formed. Of course, a lot has happened since then, but the fresh and pleasant training facilities on Mariatorget, where they have been housed since 1985, still have the same joy and friendly community. The legacy of the gymnastics association means that group classes are a major part of the activities. There are over 20 different types of group classes where you can practice strength, endurance, balance, and coordination. Core movement, dance aerobics, gymnastics, zumba, pilates, barbell, step, and Tabata are just a few examples.

In addition to group classes, Saga offers a well-equipped gym, personal training, and online PT. Since they work with a holistic approach to health and wellness, they also have massage, chiropractic, naprapathy, and physiotherapy therapists. In short, everything you need to feel good. And it’s obvious that members appreciate their gym – they often mention the special “Saga feeling.” So if you’re looking for an excellent gym in Södermalm, this one is a hot option.
