When Evo is the clear choice
Evo saves you 3,000 NOK per year compared to SATS in Stavanger. For permanent residents who don't need sauna, that's a strong argument. Evo Stavanger has solid equipment and 24/7 access at most locations. UiS students should compare with the SiS option (Student union in Stavanger) which may be even cheaper.
When SATS is the clear choice
SATS is right for you if you commute between Stavanger and Oslo — one SATS membership covers both cities, while Evo has limited Oslo coverage. Sauna included in SATS Standard is a real advantage for those who use it. SATS Stavanger also has Norway's best selection of group classes per week.
