Gym, health and fitness clubs stand at a dynamic crossroads, shaped by both impressive resilience and evolving consumer expectations. Despite economic headwinds—including persistent inflation, rising membership fees and supply chain disruptions—Americans’ appetite for fitness hasn’t waned. While higher prices and tariff-driven equipment costs have prompted some concerns around affordability and retention, leading operators have kept pace by doubling down on transparency, technological innovation and community-driven experiences, keeping the industry remarkably buoyant, even as members become more discerning and hybrid workout habits take root. Revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 7.1% to $45.7 billion in 2025, including an uptick of 2.0% that year. Home workouts and digital fitness surged in recent years, with brands like Peloton, Apple Fitness and countless app-based platforms filling the void. Still, the desire for social connection, accountability and access to specialized classes supported attendance at gyms and fitness centers, with group classes, boutique experiences and sports leagues (like the nation’s pickleball boom) fueling a new wave of growth. Technological integration has become standard, as fitness centers capitalized on mobile booking, wearables, hybrid class offerings and personalized digital experiences to boost retention. Gyms have also responded to sticky inflation and financial uncertainty by offering more flexible, tiered memberships and novel pay-per-visit plans, making fitness accessible across a wider range of budgets and life stages, boosting profit. Gym, health and fitness clubs will deepen their shift into a wellness-centric, tech-enabled ecosystem, with opportunities and challenges in equal measure. Demographic tailwinds will prove significant: as the population ages and healthcare costs climb, older adults will turn to gyms for exercise as well as holistic health management. Gyms, health and fitness centers are shifting toward integrated, medically informed offerings, blending classes with diagnostics, tracking devices and partnerships with healthcare providers. Affordability, digital convenience and privacy will be crucial considerations as gyms race to balance premium health solutions with accessibility. Gyms and fitness centers that innovate around flexibility and evidence-based care will sustain growth. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% to reach an estimated $49.1 billion by 2030.
