Anytime Fitness reached an industry milestone of two million members worldwide L
ast month, IHRSA announced the release of The IHRSA Global 25, which lists the top 25 health club companies worldwide in terms
of revenue, memberships and units. This prestigious list of club operators is based on The 2014 IHRSA Global Report, which profiles nearly 400 clubs worldwide. As a whole, the worldwide industry’s
revenues grew from US$75bn to US$78bn (+4 per cent) from 2012 to 2013. The number of facilities was also up, from 150,000 to 160,000 (+6.7 per cent), while the number of members grew from 132 million to 140 million (+6.1 per cent). Revenue growth has improved uniformly among the organisations that submitted data for this year’s Global 25. Category leader 24 Hour Fitness grew from US$1bn in 2012 to US$1.3 billion in 2013 – a 30 per cent increase. Anytime Fitness climbed to US$634m (+31 per cent); Goodlife Fitness Clubs to US$495m (+19 per cent); Planet Fitness to US$211m (+32 per cent); Bodytech to US$120m (+25 per cent); and the Russian Fitness Group to US$176m (+14 per cent).

Also in the top five are Planet Fitness (4.8 million members), 24 Hour Fitness (3.8 million members), Gold’s Gym International (3 million members), and Virgin Active (1.3 million members). “Continued robust performance
from leading club companies attests to the industry’s strength and potential for growth,” says Jay Ablondi, IHRSA’s executive vice president of global products. “IHRSA is pleased to recognise industry leaders who are playing a critical role in addressing the global epidemics of obesity and inactivity,” adds Joe Moore, IHRSA’s president and CEO. “As part of a dynamic industry with more than 160,000 health clubs, leading club operators are providing stellar offerings in energetic settings, all in an effort to help nearly 140 million members with their health and fitness goals.”
