Rating Criteria
We evaluate wellness venues across consistent criteria to help users compare options:
Saunas
- •Price transparency: Clear pricing for sessions, memberships, and packages
- •Accessibility: Public transport access, booking requirements, drop-in availability
- •Amenities: Ice bath access, changing facilities, towel provision, shower quality
- •Atmosphere: Crowding levels, noise, cleanliness, views (for floating saunas)
- •Beginner-friendliness: Clear instructions, staff support, welcoming environment
Gyms
- •Equipment quality & variety: Free weights, cardio machines, functional training zones
- •Contract terms: Binding periods, cancellation policies, student/family discounts
- •Facilities: Changing rooms, showers, lockers, group classes, pools, saunas
- •Location & hours: 24/7 access, proximity to public transport, multiple locations
- •Value for money: Monthly cost relative to amenities and location
Run Clubs
- •Cost: Free vs. paid, membership requirements, drop-in fees
- •Pace groups: Range of speeds accommodated, beginner-friendliness
- •Schedule consistency: Regular meeting times, frequency per week
- •Community: Welcoming atmosphere, social events, inclusivity
- •Routes: Variety, safety, scenic value, distance options
Events
- •Registration process: Ease of signup, advance notice required, waitlists
- •Beginner accessibility: Entry-level options, pace groups, support
- •Value: Entry fee relative to amenities (medals, timing, post-race food)
- •Organization quality: Water stations, safety, crowd management
Update Frequency
What we can actually promise, rather than a cadence we do not hold to:
- •Core venue data (gyms, saunas, run clubs): revised whenever we learn a fact has changed, not on a schedule. Every price we have sourced carries the date it was read and where it was read from.
- •Event listings: each event carries the organiser page it came from and the date we last saw it there. The build fails if an upcoming event has no verified source, so a date here cannot be a guess.
- •Pricing: read from the operator own site or signup flow. A price older than 210 days is flagged internally for re-reading, and we say when a figure is city-typical rather than club-verified.
- •User corrections: Reviewed within 48 hours and updated if verified
Corrections & Feedback
We welcome corrections from venue operators and community members. If you notice outdated information, pricing changes, or factual errors, email us at hello@solix.no with:
- 1.The specific page or venue with incorrect information
- 2.What information is incorrect
- 3.The correct information (with source if available, e.g., operator website link)
We verify all corrections before updating to maintain data quality. Typical response time: 2-5 business days.
Frequently Asked Questions
We do not update on a fixed schedule, and saying we did would be the one claim on this page a reader cannot check. What we do instead: every sourced price carries the date it was read and the page it was read from, upcoming events cannot ship without a verified organiser source, and a figure older than 210 days is flagged internally for re-reading.
Yes. Operators can email corrections to hello@solix.no. We verify all updates before publishing to maintain data quality. Typical turnaround is 2-5 business days.
No, and we will not claim otherwise. Our verification is documentary: we read the operator's own price page or step through their signup flow, and we record where each figure came from and the date we saw it there. Some venues have confirmed details with us by email. Where we have not been able to verify something, the page says so instead of guessing.
We evaluate venues across transparent criteria: price, accessibility, amenities, atmosphere, and beginner-friendliness. 'Best of' designations reflect overall value and user experience, not paid placements.
Email hello@solix.no with the page URL, what's incorrect, and the correct information (with source if available). We review all reports within 48 hours and update verified corrections.
