MultiSport: how to get, cost

The MultiSport card is one of the most sought-after corporate bonuses in the Czech Republic, giving employees access to an active lifestyle at no extra cost. It allows free or reduced-price access to gyms, swimming pools, yoga studios, dance classes, skating rinks, squash courts and many other sports and wellness centers throughout the country.

In this article we will go into detail about how the MultiSport card works, what activities are available with it, how to get it and how much it costs.

How does the MultiSport card work?

The system of use is simple: you come to the chosen establishment, present your card at the reception desk (or use a virtual card via the My MultiSport mobile application), and then you get access to the service. Some facilities require a prior reservation, so it is recommended to check the conditions on the MultiSport website or directly with the partner before your visit. Also, many centers may ask you to show your ID card to confirm that the card belongs to you.

The MultiSport card allows you to use the services of no more than one visit per day to sports facilities. In addition, cardholders can use Nextbike and Rekola bicycles free of charge for 60 minutes twice a day. Also, once every six months you can undergo a body composition analysis using InBody devices, which allows you to monitor changes in your body and adapt your training program to achieve better results.

The MultiSport card opens up access to a variety of activities including:
  • Fitness and group training (including gyms and crossfit centers)
  • Swimming and aqua aerobics

  • Tennis, squash and badminton

How do I get a MultiSport card?

The MultiSport card is not sold in retail stores and is not intended for individual purchase. It is only available through employers who partner with MultiSport. If your company is already a partner of the program, all you need to do is contact your HR department or benefits officer to apply for the card.

If your employer does not provide a MultiSport card, you can suggest that they consider partnering with MultiSport. To do this:
  1. Contact your HR department or management and see if they are willing to implement a new bonus system for employees.
  2. Contact MultiSport representatives through their official website and get information about the partnership.
  3. Forward the information received to the employer for review.
Many companies in the Czech Republic seek to increase employee loyalty by offering additional bonuses, and the MultiSport card is one of the most sought-after corporate perks.

How much does a MultiSport card cost?

The cost of the MultiSport card varies depending on the terms and conditions of the contract between the employer and MultiSport. The following options are possible:
  • Fully paid for by the employer - the employee receives the card free of charge.
  • Partially paid - the employer covers part of the cost and the rest is paid by the employee (approximately CZK 300-700 per month).
  • Entirely at the employee's expense - if the company provides the card but does not finance it, the employee can purchase it for approximately CZK 1200-1500 per month.
Contact your company's human resources department for exact cost information.

Some employers offer their employees additional cards that can be used by their family members. Such cards include a children's card for children up to the age of 15 and an additional card for adults who want to train together with the employee.

In addition, Multisport offers a unique tariff for students, which gives access to more than 700 sports and relaxation centers around the Czech Republic. Students can visit up to four facilities per month for free and use Nextbike and Rekola bike rentals at favorable conditions. The card costs CZK 399 per month (or CZK 349 for students of partner institutions). The card is registered and managed online.

Conclusion

The MultiSport card is a great opportunity for employees of Czech companies to maintain an active lifestyle without spending a lot of money. It provides access to a huge number of sports facilities and events, helping to save money and time. If your employer does not already provide such a card, it is worth suggesting that they sign a contract with MultiSport, as it is beneficial for both employees and the company.
