SATS Norrkoping shows 4.2 from 124 reviews, and its four written reviews, spanning 2017 to 2023, split sharply between strongly positive accounts of the physical facility and one serious, specific complaint about billing practices after cancellation.
A Serious Complaint About Continued Billing After Cancellation
Marcin Harasimowicz's review, from June 2023, is short but pointed: "Don't trust SATS, they cheat to keep charging you for membership even after you cancel it." I'd treat that as a serious, specific billing complaint rather than a vague gripe, and I wouldn't dismiss it just because it lacks further detail, since continued charges after a stated cancellation is exactly the kind of concrete, verifiable claim worth confirming directly with the gym or your bank before signing up, and worth double-checking your statements against if you do join.
A Detailed Account of a Positive Short-Term Visit
Timothy Gayton's review, from July 2017, gives the most thorough account of the space itself: "Really impressed with the gym, was only in Norrkoping for a few short days but they give a first visit free and a good price for a 5 day visit. Equipment is modern and the gym area is a huge space with high ceilings so you don't feel cramped. All the equipment you need, and the gym staff were courteous." I'd flag that specific short-stay pricing structure directly, since it confirms visitor and short-term passes were genuinely available, at least at that time.
Additional Accounts of the Facility Itself
Nicholas Stenbeck's review, from April 2017, adds a small but specific note: "The water is cold, and the gym is spacious with most things you'd want." Anton Tistelberg's review, also from July 2017, keeps things brief: "Fantastic gym, nice interior and good staff."
What's Missing
Nothing here confirms whether the billing issue Marcin described was a one-off administrative error or a broader pattern, since it's the only complaint of its kind in this set. Nothing here confirms current opening hours, since none are published on the listing, and the most recent written review is from June 2023.
Who It's Not For
Anyone who wants to avoid any risk of billing disputes after cancellation, given at least one specific, serious complaint about continued charges post-cancellation. Anyone who needs current, up-to-date confirmation of pricing or hours before visiting, since the listing publishes no hours and the facility-quality reviews here mostly predate 2018.
