In the UK, according to research by The
Leisure Database Company, roughly 8.3 million members belong to more than 6,000 health clubs and facilities. Private clubs – including full-service, low-cost and studio concepts – attract the majority of members; public health and fitness facilities in the UK cater for some 3.3 million members. The health club industry in Norway and
Poland is also robust. According to VIRKE, the Norwegian health club association, Norway generates roughly US$730m in revenue from nearly 1,000 clubs, with one million members. The Polish health club market totals US$491m in revenue from more than 2,000 health clubs and their one million members.
Asia Pacific The Asia Pacific region serves 17 million members at 29,000 health clubs across 14 markets (excluding the Middle East). Health club industry revenue totals US$14.5bn in this region. According to the recently released
IHRSA Asia Pacific Health Club Report, there’s room for growth in the Asia Pacific region, as the average member penetration rate for the region is just 3.8 per cent. Australia and New Zealand lead all Asia Pacific markets, with penetration rates at 14.8 per cent and 11.4 per cent respectively. Larger
cities in Asia – including Beijing, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta – are home to maturing industries, while future growth is anticipated in growing cities as well as the overall Asia Pacific region. Opportunities for the fitness
industry abound in the global economic powerhouses of China and India, which currently have penetration rates of only 0.4 per cent and 0.12 per cent respectively. China is home to roughly 2,700 health clubs with a total of 3.9 million members. The health club industry in India has roughly 3,800 health club facilities and nearly one million members. ●
