Evo vs Fresh Fitness 2026: 409 to 459 NOK vs 349 to 549 NOK
Evo costs 409 NOK/month bound and 459 NOK rolling. Fresh Fitness has three tiers: Basic 349, Flex 399 and Smart 549. Fresh is cheaper on its two lower tiers, Evo is cheaper than Smart. Neither has a sauna and neither is 24/7.
VERDICT
Fresh Fitness is cheaper than Evo at the entry point, and not marginally: Basic at 349 NOK is 60 NOK below Evo's bound price of 409, and Flex at 399 NOK is still below it. Only at Smart (549 NOK) does Evo come out cheaper. Enrollment is 299 NOK at Fresh and 399 NOK at Evo, the latter waived if you commit for 12 months. Neither chain has a sauna, neither has a pool and neither is 24/7. What actually separates them is geography: Evo has 23 centres in Oslo and 9 in the Bergen area, while Fresh has 41 centres in Norway but none in Bergen and none in Stavanger. If you live in Bergen, this is not a real comparison.

When Fresh Fitness is the clear choice
Fresh Fitness wins on price in two cases out of three. Basic at 349 NOK and Flex at 399 NOK both sit below Evo's 409 NOK bound price, and more than 50 NOK below the 459 NOK rolling price. The enrollment fee is lower too, 299 NOK against 399 NOK. Fresh also runs group classes, which Evo does not offer at all. What you do not get at Fresh is a sauna, round-the-clock access or a student discount, because the chain has none of them. And with 41 centres in Norway but none in Bergen and none in Stavanger, Fresh is primarily an Oslo-and-surroundings choice.
When Evo is the clear choice
Evo wins on geography, not on price. In the Bergen area Evo has 9 centres and Fresh has none, so there is no real contest there. In Oslo, Evo has 23 centres, which usually means a shorter walk. Evo is a pure equipment gym with no group classes and no pool, open 05:00 to 24:00 every day. The price is 409 NOK/month on a 12-month binding, which also removes the 399 NOK enrollment fee, or 459 NOK/month rolling. Both are more expensive than Fresh Basic and Fresh Flex, so you are paying for proximity and for a simpler concept. If you need genuine 24/7, Fitness24Seven is the one.

FAQ
Is Fresh Fitness cheaper than Evo?

Fresh Smart at 549 NOK, by contrast, costs more than either Evo price. Enrollment is 299 NOK at Fresh against 399 NOK at Evo, and Evo's fee is waived if you commit. Prices read from the chains' own sites on 30 July 2026.
Does Evo or Fresh Fitness have a sauna?
No. Neither Evo nor Fresh Fitness has a sauna at any location, and neither has a pool. Both keep the price down by leaving wellness facilities out. Among the big Norwegian chains it is SATS that has saunas, in Oslo at Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass. No SATS gym in Norway has a pool.
Who should choose Evo over Fresh Fitness?
If you live in the Bergen area the choice is already made: Evo has 9 centres there, Fresh has none. Otherwise Evo suits you if you mainly do strength work, have no use for group classes and want a centre nearby, since Evo has 23 centres in Oslo. The price is 409 NOK/month on a 12-month binding, which also removes the 399 NOK enrollment fee, or 459 NOK/month rolling. Hours are 05:00 to 24:00, not 24/7. If you need to train overnight, Fitness24Seven is the only option, at 349 NOK/month.
Who should choose Fresh Fitness over Evo?
Fresh Fitness is the right choice if you want the lowest monthly price or you want group classes. Basic is 349 NOK/month, Flex 399 NOK and Smart 549 NOK, with a 299 NOK enrollment fee on all three. The two lower tiers sit below both Evo prices. Note that Fresh has no student discount, has no sauna, and is not 24/7. Check on freshfitness.no which tier includes group classes before you choose.
