The Nation Returns to Health & Fitness

Since the re-opening of gyms in April, we have seen hugely positive visitor numbers with rising footfall figures and new member sign ups, reflecting a renewed national interest in health and wellbeing.

Over the past two months:

  • Our health club and gym networks has seen extremely positive numbers of returning members, with average footfall levels now at 98% of 2019 YOY levels.

Additionally:

  • Pure Gym saw 1 million members visit their clubs in the first week they reopened; a figure comparable to the same period in 2019 and membership figures grew by 10% in the first month of reopening.
  • Over half of Pure Gym’s recent 150,000+ membership growth are new to the sector, highlighting a rise in interest and the potential for further market penetration.
  • David Lloyd new member signs ups during the last 8 weeks have been double what they were in the same period in 2019.
  • A rise in people working from home has shifted behavioural habits, with David Lloyd clubs reporting a change in peak visiting hours from 5pm-8pm to 7am-3pm.
