The University of Iceland is aware that exercise is important for all students. Therefore, the University of Iceland Gymnasium at Sæmundargata is open to all students and staff for a modest fee.
The Gym offers scheduled group lessons in the hall and fitness suite facilities. Groups can also hire the hall, for example, for ball games or other sports. A sauna is located in the basement of the Gym.
