SATS vs Fitness24Seven 2026: 839 NOK vs 349 NOK in Oslo
SATS Basic in Oslo is 839 NOK/month, Fitness24Seven 349 NOK/month. That is 490 NOK a month, or 5,880 NOK a year. What the gap buys is group classes and a sauna at select SATS clubs. Neither chain has a pool.
VERDICT
Choose Fitness24Seven if you train strength on your own. 349 NOK/month with genuine round-the-clock access is hard to beat, and you give up no pool, because SATS has none either. Choose SATS if you actually use group classes, or if a sauna is part of the routine and you train at Colosseum, Bislett, Storo, Solli Plass or Røa. Note that SATS ties you in for 12 months after the free period, so 490 NOK a month is in practice a decision about nearly 6,000 NOK.

When Fitness24Seven is the clear choice
Fitness24Seven wins on price by a wide margin: 490 NOK/month below SATS Basic in Oslo, so 5,880 NOK a year. If you train strength on your own, you give up nothing real by taking the cheaper option. You lose group classes and the sauna, but not a pool, because SATS has none either. Add that Fitness24Seven is the only one of the commercial chains genuinely open around the clock and the choice is easy for shift workers and anyone training before six in the morning.
When SATS is worth the extra 490 NOK
The maths gets concrete if you use group classes: at one class a week the extra 490 NOK is roughly 115 NOK per class, below the price of a studio pass. At two classes it halves. The sauna is the other argument, but only if you train at one of the clubs that has one, and only if you actually use it. What is no longer an argument is the pool and the flexibility: SATS has no pool anywhere in Norway, and the contract runs 12 months after the free period.

FAQ
How much cheaper is Fitness24Seven than SATS?
In Oslo, SATS Basic is 839 NOK/month and Fitness24Seven is 349 NOK/month. The difference is 490 NOK a month, so 5,880 NOK a year. Against SATS Premium (999 NOK) the gap is 650 NOK a month. Count the whole contract when you weigh it up: SATS ties you in for 12 months after the free period, so the choice is worth at least 5,880 NOK, not 490.
Does Fitness24Seven have a sauna?
No, not at any Norwegian location. Fitness24Seven is a pure equipment concept, and that is exactly why the price is 349 NOK. If you want a sauna at your gym, SATS is the only option among the large chains, and only at select clubs: Colosseum, Bislett, Storo, Solli Plass and Røa. Evo and Fresh Fitness have no sauna either.
Does either of them have a pool?
No. Neither Fitness24Seven nor SATS has a swimming pool, and that covers all 78 SATS clubs in Norway, Røa included. Røabadet next to SATS Røa is a separate facility with its own membership and is not a SATS facility. Swimming in Oslo means a municipal pool.
Who should choose Fitness24Seven?
Anyone who trains strength on their own, does not use group classes, and wants access outside normal hours. Fitness24Seven is the only one of the chains that is genuinely open around the clock; Evo and Fresh run 05:00 to 24:00. The trade-off is coverage: 9 clubs in Norway, 8 in Oslo plus Drammen Sentrum, against 78 SATS clubs.
Who should choose SATS?
Anyone who actually attends group classes, or who uses a sauna regularly and trains at one of the clubs that has one. If you take one class a week, the extra 490 NOK a month works out at roughly 115 NOK per class, which beats buying a studio pass. If you never take a class and never use the sauna, you are paying 5,880 NOK a year for a nicer gym floor.
What are the contract terms at each?
SATS states a 12-month contract after the free period. Solix previously said SATS had no contract and a one-month notice period, and that was wrong. Fitness24Seven does not publish its contract terms in a form we have been able to verify, so read the contract before signing rather than trusting a figure from a comparison site, ours included.
