The gym at Obere Au sports facilities is one of a kind in the area, as the entrance fee also includes entry to the indoor and outdoor pools as well as the Aquamarine warm water experience pool!

So you can warm up swimming a few lengths in the pool, then go off to the gym to pump some irons and then enjoy the relaxing massage jets in Aquamarine to round off the workout. The gym is open daily except Easter, Christmas, New Year and during maintenance. It also has convenient opening times on weekends.
