About the Fitness Industry

Now Is the Time to Join Our Fitness Franchise

As a legendary brand with over 45 years of experience, World Gym is proud to be part of an industry that continues to grow. Following a challenging year of pandemic closures and shifts in consumer behaviors, the health and fitness industry is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2022 – 2026) of over 8% (Source: Statista). According to Nasdaq, the gym, health, and fitness club market reached $33B in 2021, and as the pandemic continues to recede and consumers return to pre-pandemic behaviors, that number is expected to climb in 2022 and beyond.

World Gym Goes Virtual

As gyms and fitness centers shut down in early 2020, many gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts turned to online services to maintain their health and fitness. Though gyms have reopened and many members have returned to working out in person, this new trend shows no signs of slowing down. According to RunRepeat, the online/digital fitness industry is still projected to grow by approximately 33% per year.
