Money-Saving Tips for Students
- 💰Use SiO first: If you're a UiO student, SiO Athletica is free - no reason to pay commercial
- 💰Avoid 12-month contracts: Students move often. Choose Evo (no binding) or Fresh (3 mo) for flexibility
- 💰Freeze in summer: If you go home in summer, freeze membership to save 2-3 months of payments
- 💰Need sauna?: Fitness24Seven (329 NOK/mo) saves you ~150 NOK/mo vs SATS Student (479 NOK). You can use public saunas (100-150 NOK) occasionally and still save money
- 💰Group training: Find workout partners from your studies to share motivation and tips. Many gyms have student groups
