SATS vs Evo Fitness 2026 – 839 NOK vs 409 NOK: Who Wins?
SATS Oslo Basic (839 NOK/month, sauna at 15 clubs per sats.no/badstu) vs Evo Fitness (409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract, 459 NOK rolling, no sauna). Price difference: 430 NOK less per month or 5,160 NOK per year. Verified 30 July 2026.
VERDICT
Choose Evo if price decides it. Evo is 409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract or 459 NOK/month rolling, against 839 NOK/month for SATS Basic in Oslo, so 430 NOK less a month and 5,160 NOK less a year. Choose SATS if you want group classes or a sauna. The sauna is at 15 Oslo clubs, among them Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass, and no other major Oslo chain has one. Note that a contract no longer separates them: SATS states 12 months binding after the free period, and Evo's lower price also requires 12 months. Staying free to leave costs 459 NOK at Evo. Neither has a pool.

Prices read from sats.no and evofitness.no on 30 July 2026. The SATS prices are Oslo prices. SATS sets the price per club and calculates it at checkout, so Bergen (789 NOK), Stavanger (749 NOK) and Tromsø (699 NOK) sit lower on Basic.
When Evo is the clear choice
Evo wins on price, and by a wider margin than Solix previously published: 430 NOK less per month below SATS Basic in Oslo, which is 5,160 NOK over a year. If you primarily do strength training, do not need a sauna and live near one of the 23 Evo centres in Oslo, Evo is the right choice. Evo is open 05:00-24:00, not around the clock. For genuine 24-hour access, Fitness24Seven is the chain to look at.
When SATS is the clear choice
SATS wins on facilities and network. A sauna is included at 15 Oslo clubs, among them Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass, and no other major Oslo chain offers one. You get a broad group-class programme and access to a network of 78 clubs in Norway, 32 of them in Oslo, while Premium at 999 NOK/month covers the Nordics. As a student you take 20 percent off, which gives 671 NOK/month for Basic in Oslo. A pool is not a SATS argument: no SATS club in Norway has one, Røa included. Røabadet is an independent facility with its own membership.

FAQ
Is Evo cheaper than SATS?
Yes, and the gap is large. Evo is 409 NOK/month on a 12-month contract or 459 NOK/month rolling. SATS Basic in Oslo is 839 NOK/month. That is 430 NOK less per month, or 5,160 NOK per year, in Evo's favour on the contract prices. Note that SATS sets the price per club: Basic is 789 NOK in Bergen, 749 in Stavanger and 699 in Tromsø, so the gap narrows outside Oslo.
Does Evo have a sauna?
No, Evo Fitness has neither a sauna nor a pool at any Norwegian location. This is the most important factual difference between SATS and Evo. SATS has a sauna at 15 Oslo clubs per sats.no/badstu, among them Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass. SATS Nydalen has no sauna. Evo prioritises price and equipment over wellness facilities.
Who should choose Evo over SATS?
Evo is the right choice if you want to save 430 NOK less per month and do not need a sauna, primarily do strength training and do not depend on group classes, and live near one of the 23 Evo centres in Oslo. Evo suits independent trainers who know what they are doing. If you do not want a twelve-month commitment, Evo is 459 NOK/month rolling, still far below SATS.
Who should choose SATS over Evo?
SATS is the right choice if you want a sauna, which among the major Oslo chains only SATS has, if you depend on group classes such as spinning, yoga, HIIT and pilates, if you are a student and get 20 percent off, or if you train in several cities and need a large network. SATS has 78 clubs in Norway, 32 of them in Oslo. If you want to swim you have to look outside SATS either way: no SATS club in Norway has a pool.
What is the 399 NOK figure at Evo?
399 NOK is Evo's enrollment fee, not a monthly price. It is waived if you take the twelve-month contract. The monthly prices are 409 NOK on the contract and 459 NOK rolling, and the annual price is 4,599 NOK. If you see 399 NOK quoted as Evo's monthly price somewhere, the enrollment fee has been mistaken for the membership.
Can I cancel without a contract at SATS or Evo?
At Evo yes, if you take the 459 NOK/month price, which runs month to month. The lower 409 NOK price requires twelve months. At SATS the chain states 12 months binding after the free period, so a SATS membership is a commitment for a full year. This corrects what Solix previously published, and it reverses the argument that SATS is the flexible option.
