Considering switching from Fresh Fitness? Here are the five real alternatives in Oslo with verified prices, and who each one is for. Verified July 2026.
SHORT ANSWER
Fresh Fitness costs 349 NOK (Basic, one centre), 399 NOK (Flex, all centres) or 549 NOK (Smart) per month, with 299 NOK enrollment. For cheaper group classes, choose Friskis&Svettis (from 249 NOK) or Treningshuset (from 349 NOK). If you do not need classes, Fitness24Seven costs the same as Fresh Basic, 349 NOK, but is genuinely open around the clock, while Fresh closes at 24:00. Evo (409 NOK on a 12-month contract, 459 NOK rolling) is for pure strength training. If you want a sauna, SATS is the only chain that qualifies, from 839 NOK/month in Oslo. None of these chains has a pool, and Fresh has neither a sauna nor a student discount.

FAQ
What is the cheapest alternative to Fresh Fitness?
Friskis&Svettis from 249 NOK/month is the cheapest alternative, and group classes are included. Fitness24Seven costs 349 NOK/month, exactly the same as Fresh Fitness Basic, so you save nothing on price there. What you gain is genuine round-the-clock access, and what you give up is group classes. None of the large chains has a sauna except SATS: Fresh has no sauna, Fitness24Seven has no sauna, Friskis&Svettis has no sauna, Treningshuset has no sauna and Evo has no sauna. No SATS club in Norway has a pool.
Fresh Fitness has no sauna. Which chain does?
Only one of the chains: SATS. Fresh Fitness has no sauna, and neither do Friskis&Svettis, Treningshuset, Fitness24Seven or Evo. SATS has saunas at Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass, and membership in Oslo starts at 839 NOK/month Basic on a 12-month contract. Note that no SATS club in Norway has a pool. Røabadet is an independent pool, not a SATS facility. If you want a sauna for less, pair a cheap gym membership with a standalone sauna paid per visit.
Fresh Fitness vs SATS, what is the difference?
Price is the main difference. Fresh Fitness costs 349 NOK Basic, 399 NOK Flex or 549 NOK Smart per month. SATS in Oslo costs 839 NOK Basic, 849 NOK Flexible and 999 NOK Premium per month, on a 12-month contract. In return SATS gives you saunas at selected clubs, a large group class programme and a Nordic club network. Fresh has no sauna and no student discount, while SATS gives 20 percent off for students aged 18 and over. Neither has a pool. Prices verified July 2026.
What is the cheapest gym with classes in Oslo?
Friskis&Svettis from 249 NOK/month is the cheapest gym with group classes in Oslo. Treningshuset (from 349 NOK) adds functional training. Fresh Fitness runs group classes at selected centres from 349 NOK/month, but the offering varies centre by centre, so check your centre's schedule first. Evo and Fitness24Seven have no group classes at all, so they do not apply if classes are the requirement.
Can I cancel Fresh Fitness and switch without a contract?
Fresh Fitness does not state a binding period on Basic, Flex or Smart, so read your agreement for the notice period before switching. Among the alternatives, Fitness24Seven is sold without a contract, Evo has both a bound price (409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract) and a rolling one (459 NOK/month), and SATS has a 12-month contract. Budget for an enrollment fee at the new gym: Fresh charges 299 NOK, Evo 399 NOK waived if you take the contract, and SATS enrollment is currently free.
