Gyms in Oslo

Hello there, I've just moved to Oslo from Ålesund and was just wondering if anyone out there goes to a gym they would recommend not looking for anything fancy just a place that has good free weights ?
Thanks Grant

Hi Grant!

Welcome to Expat.com :)

Hello,

I was wondering if your search bore any fruit?  My wife and I are American powerlifters considering relocating to Oslo.  With our iron passion, finding a good gym is essential.  I would be very grateful to hear about your search and what you have found in Oslo.  It would be superb if you've found a place with equipment for Olympic lifting (platform, bumper plates, etc.)

Many thanks and I hope you were able to find a place for your own lifting needs.

this is a gym I've seen all over, but the advertise heavily and seem to be catering more to the gymbunny types

found this list that looks quite comprehensive but doesn't give details of what type of gym they are

Hey Brad
So your into powerlifting as well huh thats cool, Sorry but haven't really had time to check many out yet as cant afford the gym at the moment with no work plus I am now heading back to Ålesund as the missus didn't get into the uni course she wanted which is the main reason we came here in the first place, The only gym I have been to was Domus Athletica which was good for my needs as im doing 5,3,1 so only need a bar and power rack, from what i remember they have couple power racks I think about three benches some ok bars and plates although the dumbells don't go up very heavy and they didn't have any bumper plates or a platform but it was about 2 years ago I went there so things might have changed but I doubt it, Are you looking to do Oly lifting as well then? I'd imagine your best bet is to go on a Oly lifting forum and see if theres any Oslo based lifters and see where they train, Hope you find what your looking for and hope your move goes well.
