The table above shows the top 10 operators. There are 8 other operators that make up the remaining low-cost clubs. *Overall numbers at The Gym Group are up by 23 (page 29), but their low cost numbers are up by 26 – this is because they acquired 3 Fitness First clubs in early 2022 that have only been rebranded to low-cost in the last 12 months. †Includes the 3 Xercise4Less clubs acquired but still trading under the Xercise4Less brand.
