3T vs SATS in Trondheim 2026: SATS has no gym here
SATS runs no gyms in Trondheim. Here is what 3T actually costs, and what a SATS membership is worth if you move here. Clear answer on which is right for you.
VERDICT
If you live in Trondheim, 3T is effectively the choice, because SATS has no clubs in the city. A SATS membership is only worth anything here if you commute to a city where SATS actually operates.
Side-by-side comparison
| 3T | SATS | |
|---|---|---|
| Price/month | From 399 NOK | No club in Trondheim (Oslo from 839 NOK) |
| Pool | Yes (Pirbadet) | Check location |
| Sauna | Yes (Pirbadet) | Check location |
| Trondheim locations | 18 | None |
| Access other cities | No | Yes – all Norway |
| Nordic coverage | No | Yes (Premium 999 NOK) |
| Student discount | Yes | Yes |
| Contract | None (standard) | None (standard) |
When 3T is the clear choice
3T wins on price (100–200 NOK/month cheaper) and on pool/sauna via 3T Pirbadet. If you live in Trondheim permanently, don't need access to Oslo or other cities, and want the lowest possible monthly cost, 3T is the right choice. Students should also consider the SiT offer which may be even cheaper.
When SATS is the clear choice
SATS wins on network: one membership gives access to all SATS locations in Norway (and the Nordics with Premium). If you commute between Trondheim and Oslo, study at a campus with a SATS deal, or want access to the 15 SATS Oslo locations with a sauna, SATS is worth the price difference.

FAQ
Is 3T cheaper than SATS in Trondheim?
The question cannot be answered as asked, because SATS runs no gyms in Trondheim. The chain lists 78 clubs in Norway and none of them has a Trondheim address. 3T costs 729 NOK/month for Heldag across all centres on a 12-month commitment, or 529 NOK/month for a local membership with no binding. Students pay 499 NOK/month across all centres, or 499 NOK/month (369 NOK only in Steinkjer/Levanger) with no binding. For reference SATS Flexible is 849 NOK/month in Oslo, but that membership is unusable here.
Does 3T or SATS have better facilities in Trondheim?
There is no SATS in Trondheim to compare against. 3T has 18 centres, 13 of them in Trondheim, and is comfortably the largest chain in the city. Evo Fitness has centres at Sorgenfri, Heimdal and Tiller, and Fresh Fitness is at Trondheim Sentrum and Valentinlyst. If you want a pool, check the individual facility directly, since we have not verified pool facilities per centre.
Can I use a SATS Trondheim membership in Oslo?
There is no SATS Trondheim membership, because the chain has no clubs in the city. The reverse does matter though: if you hold SATS Flexible at 849 NOK/month or Premium at 999 NOK/month from Oslo, it gets you nothing in Trondheim, because there is no club to use. If you travel between the cities, the value of SATS is that you can train in Oslo, not here. A 3T membership covers only 3T's own centres in Trøndelag.
Who should choose 3T in Trondheim?
3T is effectively the default if you live or work in Trondheim, with 13 centres in the city. If you are an NTNU student, compare 3T's student rate of 499 NOK/month, or 499 NOK/month (369 NOK only in Steinkjer/Levanger) with no binding, against what SiT offers. SATS is not an option here regardless of what you might otherwise prefer.
Is there any reason to hold a SATS membership while living in Trondheim?
Only one: that you regularly spend time in a city where SATS actually has clubs. Premium at 999 NOK/month covers every Nordic club, but none of them is in Trondheim, so you are paying for a network you cannot use from home. If you already hold a SATS membership from another city and are moving here, read SATS's terms on the 12-month commitment before assuming you can cancel straight away.
