I'm visiting from California and was looking for a gym comparable to Equinox--turns out, SATS is…read morethe perfect match! Andreas at the front desk was incredibly helpful. I wanted to take a hot yoga class in addition to my gym workout, and he guided me through the website so I could check the class schedule. I even picked up a yoga mat, some creatine powder, and a SATS gym shirt as a keepsake. The exceptional customer service from the front desk team made such a great impression that I'm definitely getting the month pass. Navigating a new country can feel intimidating when you don't speak or read the language, but they made it so easy!

I usually work out in the afternoon/evenings due to having a job.... Only complaint is the people…read morethat don't put away the equipment they use. Cleaning up after yourself apparently does NOT improve with growing up. On the plus side, the PTs are good and much cheaper than at other gyms. It's just the basics, with equipment and no classes. But that's fine. Open from 5 to 23 and you need a chip to get in. All new equipment this summer, so that's also a plus.

I love the fact that I dont have to look at a wall or other people training as I run on the treadmill. I am going to hate it when the apartments completely take away my view. The staff here are always very nice and welcoming. It is never overly crowded, even on weekday evenings when most gyms are packed. I have never had to wait for any type of equipment, which is great because as soon as I have to wait, I am on my way home thinking that I will just finish my work out at home. I can end up spending 2 hours here and not even notice it (until I can't get out of bed the next day because my muscles refuse to move).

This location is one of the biggest I've seen. The red room has treads lining two walls and seemingly endless benches. They have an additional weight/equipment room where I saw people doing 1:1 personal training sessions. As an American, I asked that part of the class be translated into English and Ragna, my instructor for the day, flawlessly incorporated English translation with the Norwegian instructions. I was there on abs day and the range of exercises that worked every part of the abs really had me feeling it for two days after. The locker room is fairly big, fair warning, the shower stalls have no doors, so you're pretty exposed, but that also helps ensure no one's hogging the shower.

Definately the place to combine your tempo-runs to strenght training. If you want a a-class body,…read moreshow up at Barry's.
