Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about SportPas
What is SportPas?
SportPas is a corporate sports card in Aarhus, Denmark. The company signs up and pays for the access, and its employees can train across the partner venues in the city: gyms, swimming, climbing, yoga, padel and crossfit, with one visit per day. Some employers cover the whole card, others share the cost with the employee. That is for you to agree between you.
Who pays?
The company pays for access as a staff benefit. The exact arrangement is agreed between the company and the employee. The typical setup is full payment by the employer.
How do I check in at a venue?
Log in to your SportPas account and show your digital card at the front desk, or use the QR code. You get one visit per day, and that is across all partner venues combined. You choose where, and you can use it every day.
How does my company get started?
Contact us at kontakt@sportpas.dk. We will send a proposal, set up your company account, and guide you through the onboarding. Employees can then register themselves.
Can my venue become a SportPas partner?
Yes. We are actively looking for new partner venues in Aarhus. Write to us at kontakt@sportpas.dk and we will discuss the terms.
How is it taxed?
An employer-paid training card is an employee benefit, and its value is taxed the same way as salary. The threshold for private employee benefits is 1,400 kr per year in 2026, and if it is exceeded the whole amount is taxed, not only the part above it. A SportPas is above the threshold. It is handled automatically through payroll, so there is no form to fill in. From 2026, adults aged 30 and over can also deduct motion expenses they pay themselves, up to 1,750 kr a year, worth roughly 450 kr in tax saved. We do not give tax advice, so ask your own accountant or see skat.dk about your situation.
What is a corporate sports card?
A corporate sports card is a single membership that opens many different sports venues instead of one. The company pays for it as a staff benefit, and the employee chooses where to train: the gym one day, the pool or the climbing hall the next. The model is also called a sports pass or a corporate fitness scheme, and it is widespread across Europe. SportPas is building it for Aarhus.
How does a sports card differ from an ordinary gym membership?
A gym membership opens one venue. A sports card opens many, across different sports. The difference matters most to people who do more than lift weights: swimming, climbing, yoga, padel and crossfit usually sit in separate buildings and each carry their own subscription. Paid separately that runs past 1,000 kr a month. A sports card puts them on one card, and the employer pays.
What does a corporate sports card cost?
The price is a fixed amount per employee per month, excluding VAT, and it depends on how many seats you buy. You pay for seats rather than named people, so a seat can be reassigned when someone leaves. There is no setup fee and no lock-in. Create a free company account and you will see the price immediately, without talking to a salesperson.
