Gyms with a trial

Norwegian gyms often offer a free week or a free first session, used to win members in a market built on monthly memberships. The gyms here confirm a trial and are spread across towns such as Trondheim, Bodø and Sarpsborg. Since many of these gyms have unstaffed hours, the trial usually starts with registering in their app.

Norwegian gym trials

Trial weeks at Norwegian gyms

Try a gym in Trondheim, Bodø or Sarpsborg before you sign up.

Trials at Norwegian gyms are spread from Trondheim and Bodø to Sarpsborg, Vestfossen and Årnes, with Elixia and Sky Fitness among them.

A trial may be a free first session, a guided introduction or a full week, and some gyms ask you to register in an app before you can open the door. Check what it includes and whether a membership taken afterwards has a binding period (bindingstid), which Norwegian gyms commonly use.

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

Register online or in the app before your trial, and bring a payment card even for a free trial, as some gyms ask for one to set up access.

Ask whether the trial turns into a membership automatically.

Country comparison

Trial visits at gyms, compared by country

Shows where you can most often try a gym before you sign up.

Trial visits are listed by most gyms in several countries and by only a minority in others, so how easily you can try before joining depends on where you are. A gym without a listing may still offer a trial on request, so it is worth asking.

Across all countries, 55% of gyms list it.
