Number of gyms in the United Kingdom (UK) 2011-2022
The number of gyms and fitness centres in the United Kingdom more than doubled between 2011 and 2020, highlighting the booming fitness market within the country. However, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 created significant challenges for this growing industry as many health and fitness establishments were forced to close their doors to the public. As a result, the number of gyms in the United Kingdom fell from 3,654 in 2020 to 3,060 in 2021. Despite this, the number of fitness establishments in the UK is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels in 2022.
