April 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
Health Clubs & Leisure Centres Market Report 2006
The UK has more than 6,000 indoor facilities for consumers to keep fit, divided fairly evenly between the private sector's health clubs and the public sector's leisure centres, maintained by local authorities.
Consumer spending on keeping fit, and indeed on sports participation generally, has not increased in line with the UK economy, reaching a peak of £3.6bn in 2003, but then declining to £3.45bn in 2004 and 2005. Saturation on the supply side has made it difficult to maintain prices for joining/using health clubs and leisure centres at a time of low general inflation in the UK economy.
However, membership of either a health club or leisure centre continues to grow. It reached 11.8% of the adult population in 2005, according to research for the Fitness Industry Association (FIA), the primary body representing the fitness sector.
The main boom for health clubs took place in the late 1990s, but the recent focus on obesity rates and healthy living issues has regenerated interest in the clubs and centres, which increasingly offer a more holistic approach to health and fitness rather than the old body-building approach.
Health club operating remains a fragmented industry, with around a dozen medium-sized companies — including Fitness First, David Lloyd Leisure, Holmes Place, LA Fitness and Esporta — competing against hundreds of independent clubs. Key Note forecasts a move towards consolidation into a smaller number of very large companies as the market reaches maturity.
