Money-Saving Tips for Students
- 💰Use SiO first: If you're a UiO student, SiO Athletica is free - no reason to pay commercial
- 💰Think about the binding: Students move often. Fitness24Seven (349 NOK/month) has no binding. Evo's low 409 NOK price ties you in for 12 months, and the no-binding price is 459 NOK. The SATS student discount comes with a 12-month binding
- 💰Freeze in summer: If you go home in summer, freeze membership to save 2-3 months of payments
- 💰Need sauna?: Fitness24Seven (349 NOK/month) is about 322 NOK/month cheaper than SATS with the student discount (~671 NOK on Oslo Basic), but it has no sauna. If you use a sauna less than twice a month, the budget gym plus paid standalone sauna visits works out cheaper
- 💰Group training: Find workout partners from your studies to share motivation and tips. Many gyms have student groups
Frequently Asked Questions
SiO Athletica is FREE for UiO (University of Oslo) students, so it is cheapest overall. Among commercial gyms, Friskis & Svettis Student (249 NOK/month + 250 NOK/yr annual fee) is the cheapest confirmed option. Fitness24Seven is 349 NOK/month with no binding and genuine 24/7 access, and that flat price applies to students too. Fresh Fitness Basic is also 349 NOK/month, again with no student discount. Evo publishes no student price, so students pay 409 NOK/month on a 12-month binding or 459 NOK/month rolling.
Only where a student discount actually exists. Among the chains that is SATS, which requires valid student ID or proof of enrollment at sign-up for its 20% discount, available to students aged 18 and over with no upper age limit. Friskis & Svettis also asks for student ID. Fresh Fitness, Evo and Fitness24Seven have no student rate, so there is nothing to prove. SiO gyms require active student status at partner universities (UiO, OsloMet, etc.).
Yes, where a discount exists. International students with valid Norwegian student ID qualify for the SATS 20% student discount on the same terms as Norwegian students. SiO gyms are available to all students enrolled at partner universities (UiO, OsloMet, NMBU, etc.) regardless of nationality. Fresh Fitness, Evo and Fitness24Seven have no student rate for anyone.
Yes. Fitness24Seven is 349 NOK/month with no binding, so you can cancel any time. Evo has no binding on its 459 NOK/month price, while the cheaper 409 NOK/month price locks you in for 12 months. SATS runs a 12-month binding but is the only commercial chain with a student discount, 20% off Oslo Basic 839, Flexible 849 or Premium 999 NOK/month, and the only one with saunas.
SATS is the only commercial chain with saunas, at 15 Oslo clubs, among them Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass, and it is also the only chain with a student discount: 20% off, which puts Oslo Basic at about 671 NOK/month. Fresh Fitness, Evo, Fitness24Seven and Friskis & Svettis have NO sauna at any Oslo location. No SATS gym in Norway has a pool.
SATS with the 20% student discount (about 671 NOK/month on Oslo Basic) offers introduction sessions, a wide group class schedule and personal training consultations, which is best for beginners wanting guidance. Fresh Fitness Smart (549 NOK/month, no student discount) also includes group classes. For self-directed training on a tight budget, Friskis & Svettis Student (249 NOK/month) or Fitness24Seven (349 NOK/month) give you solid equipment without guidance.
Sometimes, but the rules and fees differ by chain and none of them publish a single national freeze price, so read the terms for the club you join before you sign. SiO memberships are semester-based, so you only pay during active semesters. Fitness24Seven has no binding, so cancelling and rejoining later is usually simpler than freezing.
SiO Athletica at Blindern is FREE for University of Oslo (UiO) students included in semester fees. Other SiO gyms (Kringsja, Kringsjå) charge 200-300 NOK per semester. Students at OsloMet, NMBU, and other partner schools have access but pricing varies by location and university agreement.
