Evo Alternatives 2026: 5 Oslo Gyms Compared
Considering switching from Evo (409 NOK on a contract, 459 NOK rolling)? Here are the five real alternatives in Oslo with verified prices, and who each one is for. Verified 30 July 2026.
SHORT ANSWER
Evo costs 409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract and 459 NOK/month rolling, so several alternatives are genuinely cheaper. The lowest is Friskis&Svettis (from 249 NOK, with group classes), then Fitness24Seven and Fresh Fitness Basic at 349 NOK. Only Fitness24Seven is truly open around the clock; Evo runs 05:00-24:00. If you want more facilities rather than a lower price, SATS is the only major chain with a sauna, at Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass, at 839 NOK/month for Basic in Oslo. No SATS club in Norway has a pool.

FAQ
What is the cheapest alternative to Evo?
Friskis&Svettis is the cheapest on some memberships (from 249 NOK/month) and includes group classes, but has no round-the-clock access. Next come Fitness24Seven and Fresh Fitness Basic, both at 349 NOK/month. Of these only Fitness24Seven has genuine 24-hour access, while Evo runs 05:00-24:00. All three undercut Evo, which costs 409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract and 459 NOK/month rolling.
Are there gyms in Oslo with a sauna, since Evo has none?
SATS is the only major chain in Oslo with a sauna, and it is found at four clubs: Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass. Evo has no sauna and no pool. SATS in Oslo costs 839 NOK/month for Basic, 849 NOK for Flexible and 999 NOK for Premium, all on a 12-month contract. No SATS club in Norway has a pool, Røa included, where Røabadet is a municipal pool run independently of SATS.
Is Fitness24Seven better than Evo?
It depends on what you need. Fitness24Seven costs 349 NOK/month, which is 60 NOK less than Evo on a contract (409 NOK) and 110 NOK less than Evo rolling (459 NOK), and it has genuine 24-hour access while Evo runs 05:00-24:00. For pure strength training on a budget it is therefore the stronger choice. Neither has a sauna or a pool. Evo often has newer machines and more spacious gyms, but costs more.
Which Evo alternative has the most group classes?
Treningshuset, Fresh Fitness, Friskis&Svettis and SATS all run a broader class programme than Evo, where the selection varies from centre to centre. For classes on a budget, Friskis&Svettis (from 249 NOK) and Treningshuset (from 349 NOK) are the best choices. For the widest selection SATS is the answer, but you pay from 839 NOK/month in Oslo.
Can I cancel Evo without a contract?
Yes. Evo is sold both with and without a lock-in: 459 NOK/month runs month to month, while 409 NOK/month requires a 12-month commitment. Enrollment is 399 NOK and is waived if you take the contract. If you choose the rolling monthly membership, you can cancel with normal notice and switch to an alternative.
