DEFINITIONS
PUBLIC SECTOR
PUBLIC GYMS
All UK public centres with a gym facility available to members of the general public on a pay-and-play or membership basis.
AVERAGE FEE
Monthly peak gym membership fee on the non-contract option, if this is available, or the rolling peak monthly gym membership fee in the absence of a non-contract option.
MARKET VALUE
Public sector market value estimates the annual income at each gym based solely on the single adult monthly peak membership fee, multiplied by the number of members at that gym. Figures are then aggregated, combining the income of all public sector gyms to estimate total public sector market value. This figure takes no account of the different membership schemes available, nor any secondary spend at gyms.
PENETRATION RATE
Percentage of the UK population that has a gym membership, based on Experian’s mid-2022 UK total population estimate of 67,439,463.
OPERATORS
Top 10 operators: Gyms managed by the top 10 operators, as ranked by number of gyms. Where operators are tied in total number of gyms, higher ranking is determined by the greatest total fitness membership.
