NYDALEN ADVANTAGE
Nydalen combines easy T-bane access (lines 4 and 5) with running straight along Akerselva and a fully equipped SATS club with group classes. For a sauna you have to go to another club, for example SATS Colosseum at Majorstuen, and that needs Flexible (849 NOK/month), which covers every SATS club in Oslo and Akershus. No SATS club in Norway has a swimming pool. Røabadet is an independent facility with its own membership.
