For parents and guardians

A gym that is safe
for everyone in it

We want to make it easy for parents and guardians to see which rules and age limits apply at ENERGY.

The aim is a safe and welcoming training environment, with a good experience for children, teens and the other members alike.

The rules for children between 3 and 11 are there for safety reasons, and it is up to parents and guardians to make sure they are followed.

Good to know

Children aged 0 to 2 can come along in a baby carrier, as long as the child can sit calmly while you train. Prams are not possible, as we have a turnstile at the entrance.
For the youngest children we recommend training in the morning or before noon if you can
Children aged 3 to 11 must stay in the social zone or the lounge, ideally with a phone or tablet
Children in this age group cannot use the machines, and must not play around the premises either

FAQs

How can a twelve-year-old train with you?

Young people between 12 and 14 must train with a parent or guardian, and do not get access of their own. They get in alongside the parent on a UNG membership. Get in touch at hei@energyfitness.no to set up the membership.

What happens when a fifteen-year-old joins?

From the age of 15 you can train alone, and you sign up for the UNG membership. During sign-up, a parent or guardian is asked to confirm the membership by text. It all happens automatically.

Do teens have to take a course before their first session?

Young people between 15 and 17 with no previous gym experience take Gymlappen first. In Stord it applies from age 14. The course lasts an hour and a half and costs NOK 99, which is covered by the joining fee.
