Geir Haanshuus, former owner and leader of the Kristiansund and Averøy centers, expressed enthusiasm for the transition. “Joining Sporty allows us to maintain our local identity while benefiting from the resources of a national chain. Our members will enjoy expanded access to facilities and innovative health services, ensuring we continue to support their fitness and wellness goals.”

Sporty’s expansion in Nordmøre reflects its ambition to be Norway’s most innovative fitness chain, prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity.
