Union fitness benefit

Use your union fitness benefit with LifePass

Most unions in Iceland have a fitness benefit, the líkamsræktarstyrkur, that pays back part of their members' fitness and wellness costs. With LifePass that benefit goes further: one membership that opens dozens of venues across the country (gyms, lagoons, saunas, pools and yoga studios) instead of tying you to a single gym.

How it works

01

Choose a membership

Memberships from 8,900 kr. per month. No lock-in to a single venue: change or cancel whenever you like.

02

Get your receipt

A receipt is emailed to you automatically at every payment, with a link to the official payment receipt.

03

Send it to your union

Submit the receipt in your union's benefit system (for many unions, through Frímann) and get reimbursed under its rules.

What is the líkamsræktar­styrkur?

The líkamsræktarstyrkur (also called heilsustyrkur or íþróttastyrkur) is a benefit most Icelandic unions offer their members: a partial reimbursement of what you spend on fitness, swimming, yoga and other wellness. Amounts and rules differ between unions. For most, you simply submit a receipt. Check your entitlement on your union's website or in Frímann, the benefit portal many unions use.
