Evo vs SATS Stavanger 2026 – Which Gym Wins?
Evo Stavanger 409 NOK/month on a 12-month binding, 459 NOK rolling. SATS Stavanger Basic 749, Flexible 799, Premium 999, all on a 12-month binding. Honest comparison of price, binding and coverage.
VERDICT
Evo is cheaper. On like-for-like binding, Evo costs 409 NOK/month against 749 NOK for SATS Basic, a difference of 340 NOK a month or 4,080 NOK a year. Neither is commitment-free: SATS binds you for 12 months after the free period, and Evo does the same on the 409 price. Rolling with no binding, Evo costs 459 NOK/month. Sauna barely separates them in Stavanger: Evo has none, and of the seven SATS clubs in the city only Hillevåg and Madla list one. Choose SATS for group classes, or Premium (999 NOK) if you also train in other cities. SATS Basic covers one club only.

When Evo is the clear choice
Evo saves you 4,080 NOK a year against SATS Basic in Stavanger, with the same 12-month binding on both. Evo has solid equipment, six centres inside Stavanger itself and opens 05:00 to 24:00, not around the clock. If you do not need group classes this is the simple choice. UiS students should compare with the SiS option (the Stavanger student union) which may be cheaper still.
When SATS is the clear choice
SATS is right for you if you want group classes, which is the real difference between the chains in Stavanger. If you commute between Stavanger and Oslo it is Premium (999 NOK/month) that covers both cities, not Basic. If you need a sauna at the gym you have to pick Hillevåg or Madla, because the other Stavanger clubs do not list one.

FAQ
Is Evo cheaper than SATS in Stavanger?
Yes. Evo costs 409 NOK/month on a 12-month binding or 459 NOK/month rolling. SATS Stavanger costs 749 NOK/month for Basic, 799 NOK for Flexible and 999 NOK for Premium. On like-for-like binding the gap is 340 NOK/month, or 4,080 NOK a year. Prices were read from evofitness.no and sats.no in July 2026.
Does Evo or SATS have a sauna in Stavanger?
Evo has neither sauna nor pool at any location. At SATS it varies by club, and in Stavanger it is rare: Hillevåg and Madla list a sauna, while Herbarium, Tasta, Forus, Storhaug and Stadionparken do not. No SATS club in Norway has a swimming pool. If you want a sauna or a pool, municipal baths and dedicated sauna venues are a better answer than either chain.
Can I use Evo Stavanger membership in Oslo?
Yes. An Evo membership covers every Evo centre in Norway at the same price, and Evo has 23 centres in Oslo. SATS does not work that way: Basic (749 NOK) covers your home club only, Flexible (799 NOK) covers the Rogaland region, and only Premium (999 NOK) covers Oslo and the rest of the Nordics. If you travel regularly between Stavanger and Oslo, Evo or SATS Premium are the options, not SATS Basic.
How many centres do they have in the Stavanger area?
Evo has six centres in Stavanger itself (Åsen, Bjergsted, Forus, Kannik, Paradis and Storhaug) plus Sola, Sandnes, Bryne, Ålgård and Egersund. SATS has seven clubs in Stavanger (Forus, Herbarium, Hillevåg, Madla, Stadionparken, Storhaug and Tasta) plus two in Sandnes and one at Bryne. Note that Fresh Fitness has no Stavanger locations.
Who should choose Evo in Stavanger?
Evo is the better fit if you want the lowest monthly price, can do without group classes, and train inside the 05:00 to 24:00 opening hours. Note the 399 NOK enrollment fee, which is waived if you take the 12-month binding. UiS students should also check the SiS student union option before committing.
Who should choose SATS in Stavanger?
SATS is the better fit if you want group classes, if you train in several cities and need Premium (999 NOK/month), or if you already hold a SATS membership from another city. Students get 20 % off from age 18. Expect 12 months of binding after the free period on all three tiers.
