How big is the exercise gymansium market?

Question

Need to find out for a project - looking for a dollar value.

By market I mean the industry market: like "the exercise gymnasium market is a $50 million dollar a year industry" or something along those lines. I'm talking stuff like L.A. Fitness, etc.

Answer 1

Lets focus on one exercise & fitness company.
Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp.
Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, through its subsidiaries, operates fitness centers in North America. Its fitness centers offer personal training, specialty exercise programs, fitness apparel, drinks, nutritional products, and nutrition and weight management program. The company’s nutritional products include protein powders, energy drinks, energy bars, snack bars, high protein bars, weight loss products, multivitamins, and meal replacement powdered drink mixes. As of June 27, 2006, the company operated approximately 400 owned and franchised facilities located in 29 states, Mexico, Canada, Korea, China, and the Caribbean under the Bally Total Fitness, Bally Sports Clubs, and Sports Clubs of Canada brands. Bally Total Fitness Holding was incorporated in 1983 and is based in Chicago, Illinois.
Full Time Employees: 10,100
Total Revenue $1,071,033 ,000
Expenses $1,080,647,000
Net Income (9,614) (Loss)
As you can see, fitness is a very big industry. Bally did not post a profit in 2005, but had over one billion dollors of gross revenue.
"Gross", refers to total money recieved.
"Net", is the money left over as profit.
LA Fitness is another fitness company, as is Gold's Gym.

Answer 2

i don't know what you are talking about for the 'additional details' line, but i can answer your question:
the exercise/gymnasium market is very, very large right now because of the growing number of obese/overweight people in America (or maybe around the world). Many people want to lose weight, currently.

I hope I helped!

Answer 3

it changes anyway, in turkey somewhere like hmm 250 m2 and in a shopping mall you pay almost a 5000$ for a month to rent it excluding the sport equipments... but it earns too much here ;)
