Fresh Fitness vs Fitness24Seven 2026: both 349 NOK, who wins?
Fresh Fitness Basic and Fitness24Seven cost exactly the same, 349 NOK/month, so price settles nothing. The choice is between group classes at Fresh and genuine round-the-clock access at Fitness24Seven. Verified July 2026.
VERDICT
On entry price this is a tie: Fresh Fitness Basic costs 349 NOK/month and Fitness24Seven costs 349 NOK/month. Price cannot decide the choice, and the real difference sits somewhere else entirely. Fitness24Seven is genuinely open around the clock on keycard access and runs no group classes at all. Fresh Fitness closes at 24:00 and opens at 05:00, but runs group classes at selected centres. If you train shifts or at night, Fitness24Seven is the only one of the two that works. If you want spinning, yoga or HIIT, you need Fresh, and then you have to check that your particular centre runs a schedule. Note too that Fresh Basic only covers one centre; to use several, Flex costs 399 NOK/month. Neither chain has a sauna or a pool, and neither has a student discount.

When Fitness24Seven is the clear choice
Fitness24Seven wins on access, not on price. It costs 349 NOK/month, exactly the same as Fresh Fitness Basic, but it is genuinely open around the clock on keycard access. If you train shifts, before five in the morning or after midnight, it is the only one of the two that is open at all. What you trade for that is group classes and staffing. Neither Fitness24Seven nor Fresh Fitness has a sauna or a pool, so that does not settle the choice.
When Fresh Fitness is the clear choice
Fresh Fitness wins on group classes and on the number of centres. It has 41 centres in Norway against Fitness24Seven's 9, and runs group classes at selected centres, something Fitness24Seven does not offer at all. Basic costs 349 NOK/month, the same as Fitness24Seven, but covers one centre only. To use several, Flex costs 399 NOK/month. In return Fresh closes at 24:00 and opens at 05:00, so night training is out. Also check that your centre actually runs a schedule before joining for the classes.

FAQ
Is Fitness24Seven cheaper than Fresh Fitness?
No, they cost exactly the same at entry level. Fitness24Seven costs 349 NOK/month, and Fresh Fitness Basic also costs 349 NOK/month. Neither is cheaper. If you want to use several Fresh centres you have to move up to Flex at 399 NOK/month, and then Fitness24Seven is 50 NOK a month less. Fresh charges 299 NOK enrollment. Prices read from each chain's own site in July 2026.
Does Fitness24Seven have group classes?
No, Fitness24Seven offers no group classes at all. The chain is built around independent training with minimal staffing and round-the-clock keycard access. Fresh Fitness runs group classes at selected centres, booked in the app, but the offering varies centre by centre: Fresh Storo, for instance, is not listed with a schedule. If spinning, yoga or HIIT matters to you, Fresh is the right pick of the two, but check your centre's schedule first.
Who should choose Fitness24Seven?
Fitness24Seven is the right choice if you train solo and do not need group classes, and if you train at hours when Fresh is shut, that is between midnight and 05:00. It is the only chain in Norway with genuine round-the-clock access, and the price is the same as Fresh Basic, 349 NOK/month. Note that Fitness24Seven has only 9 centres in Norway, 8 in Oslo plus Drammen Sentrum, and none in Bergen. It has neither a sauna nor a pool.
Who should choose Fresh Fitness?
Fresh Fitness is the right choice if you want group classes, and if you can work within the 05:00 to 24:00 opening hours. Basic costs 349 NOK/month, the same as Fitness24Seven, but only covers one centre. Flex costs 399 NOK/month for all centres, and Smart 549 NOK/month. Fresh has 41 centres in Norway against Fitness24Seven's 9, so the odds of one being near you are better. Neither Fresh nor Fitness24Seven has a sauna, a pool or a student discount.
