The Gyms and Fitness Centres industry has experienced a turbulent period over the past few years. In response to the pandemic, the Federal Government required gyms to cease operations over sporadic lockdown periods. This constrained the operation of gyms and fitness centres, with many customers suspending membership fees during lockdown periods. Even after the pandemic, its effects linger. Many gyms were able to streamline their operations over time and have carried these efficiencies into the following years, which has played a crucial role in aiding the industry's recovery and profitability. Despite a substantial rebound, revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 2.0% over the five years through 2024-25, to $2.9 billion, weighed down by plummeting revenue during the pandemic.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 2.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $2.9bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
