National gym group increases memberships by nearly 200,000 as venues reopen

A national gym operator has announced that its memberships have increased by nearly 200,000 across the last three months.

The Gym Group, which is headquartered in London and has 187 gyms across the UK, has seen memberships increase from 547,000 to 729,000 following the re-opening of its gyms.

The company said that it expects to trade in line with seasonal norms over the next three months, with summer months historically being quieter times for gyms.

Since reopening on 12 April, the company has opened four new gyms, in Chichester, York, Cambridge and London Sydenham, taking the total estate to 187.

Richard Darwin, CEO of The Gym Group, commented: “Our members are delighted to be working out in the gym once more with visits per member and new joiner sign-up rates at record levels.

“With membership levels growing strongly, we are building our pipeline of new gyms to take advantage of what we see as a unique opportunity to extend affordable fitness to even more locations across the UK.”
