SATS Alternatives 2026: 5 Cheaper Oslo Gyms Compared
Considering switching from SATS? Here are the five real alternatives in Oslo with verified prices, and who each one is for. Verified June 2026.
SHORT ANSWER
The cheapest alternative to SATS is Fitness24Seven (329 NOK/month, true 24/7 access). For group classes on a budget, choose Fresh Fitness or Treningshuset (from 349 NOK). Evo (449 NOK) is the closest full-service alternative without wellness. But: no major chain other than SATS offers both sauna and pool. If you need those, there is no cheaper direct alternative, you trade wellness for a lower price.

FAQ
What is the cheapest alternative to SATS?
Fitness24Seven at 329 NOK/month with no contract is the cheapest full alternative with true 24/7 access. Friskis&Svettis can be cheaper on some memberships (from 249 NOK) and includes group classes. Both lack sauna and pool, which only SATS offers among the major chains.
Is there an alternative to SATS with a sauna?
No, not among the major budget or mid-tier chains. SATS is the only large Oslo gym that includes sauna (15+ locations) and pool (Colosseum, Nydalen) in the membership. To get sauna more cheaply, dedicated sauna venues like SALT or KOK are an option alongside a cheaper gym.
Is Evo better than SATS?
It depends on what you need. Evo (449 NOK) is 250 NOK/month cheaper than SATS Standard and good for pure strength training. SATS wins on sauna, pool, over 1,000 group classes per week, and a larger network across Norwegian cities. SATS is the only major chain with both sauna and pool.
Which SATS alternative has group classes?
Treningshuset, Fresh Fitness (the group-class package) and Friskis&Svettis all offer group classes at a lower price than SATS. Evo and Fitness24Seven are equipment-only gyms with no classes. For classes on a budget, Friskis&Svettis (from 249 NOK) and Treningshuset (from 349 NOK) are the best choices.
Can I cancel SATS and switch without a contract?
Yes. SATS is sold without a lock-in, with one month notice. All the alternatives above are also sold without a contract on the standard membership (some offer a lower price with a 12-month contract). You can switch month to month without a fee.
