Health and Fitness Clubs in Great Shape
June 23, 2009
Consulting Management Platform | news.glgroup.com
According to Financial Week.com Health and Fitness Clubs could be one of the top six winners during these recessionary times. IBIS senior analyst George van Horn told financial week.com that growth in 2009 in the fitness industry would be 2.2% With a population penetration rate of only 16% for health club membership there would appear to be room for growth. Many pundits predicted that the club membership would be the first to go during the financial belt tightening. Not so! With membership growth being driven by people taking control of their own health and accelerated growth in the over 55 years of age market, club memberships are actually up both here in the US and in Europe.
