REPORT METHODOLOGY
LEISURE DB
ANNUAL AUDIT
Leisure DB conducts an audit of all private health clubs and public gyms each year. We also carry out an intelligent audit throughout the year; this picks up changes as they happen, including new openings, closures, gym expansions and site/ management takeovers. The result of these audits are used as the basis for this annual report, with the 12-month reporting period set as 1 April through to the following 31 March.
