The private sector of the global health and fitness club industry is on a high, with continued growth in 2016, according to the 2017 IHRSA Global Report.
Total industry revenue reached an estimated US$83.1bn, as approximately 200,000 clubs served 162 million members worldwide. The markets in North America and Europe continued to grow, while health club markets in Latin America also posted strong performances (see HCM June 2017, page 70).
The outlook for the private health club industry is promising and is expected to thrive in the global marketplace, serving consumers with a variety of health and fitness needs. With access to a profusion of fitness amenities, instructors and personal trainers, club operators are well positioned to lead us into a healthy future.
