The rising prevalence of obesity is expected to drive the growth of the health and fitness club market in the coming years. Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat, often leading to health complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems. Its increasing prevalence is linked to sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and higher consumption of high-calorie, processed foods. Health and fitness clubs help address obesity by offering structured exercise programs, access to fitness equipment, and guidance from trained professionals. These services encourage regular physical activity and healthier lifestyle habits, promoting weight loss and overall health improvement. For instance, in May 2025, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based government agency, in 2023-2024, 64.5% of adults in England were overweight or obese, with 26.5% classified as obese. Rates were higher for overweight among men and slightly higher for obesity among women. Therefore, the rising prevalence of obesity is propelling the growth of the health and fitness club market.
