Health and Fitness Club Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The health and fitness club market was valued at USD 81 billion in 2020, and it is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.21% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026).

The fitness industry, particularly brick-and-mortar gyms were among the hardest hit at the onset of COVID-19. Gyms and fitness studios were the first businesses to undergo forced shutdowns in the United States and various other countries from the threat of coronavirus spread. As ‘work from home’ has become the new normal for any other establishment, virtual access or ‘workout from home’ made gyms and studios are increasing consistency, which provides a safer exercise regime to the consumer at the comfort of their home, thus restraining the market studied.

However, it is undoubtedly much more alarming for the smaller players with less or no budget to go virtual or invest in digital advertising or creating a digital platform. However, hundreds of big and small fitness businesses joined in with Omnify's Zoom Integration’ to enable the booking of live classes, thereby supporting gyms and studios through live streaming of their services.

Consumers are willing to spend more on health and fitness clubs, with the health aspects playing a key role in driving market growth across the world. The rising number of health clubs and gyms with personal training and the latest fitness equipment is attracting consumers to join the health and fitness clubs, which is likely to influence the market growth in upcoming years.

Increasing equipment and facility spaces in fitness clubs, such as hot yoga studios, high altitude training rooms, metabolic testing equipment, medical exercise areas, and day spas, are gaining popularity among the consumers, which is further supporting the market growth. Attractive membership fees offered by fitness clubs and increasing spending on marketing and advertisement are helping the health and fitness clubs generate more revenue.
