Gym and Fitness Franchises in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 05, 2015 -- The Gym and Fitness Franchises industry is experiencing robust growth as a result of growing membership and a more health-conscious population. In addition to greater demand, favorable interest rates and new technology have spurred industry expansion during the past five years. Many franchisors have also invested in franchise consultants and regional training in order to gain a large customer base. Additionally, many franchisors implemented franchise business models for both single and multiunit franchise investments.
During the five years to 2015, the yield on a 10-year treasury note is expected to remain low, encouraging borrowing activity. According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Darryle Ulama, “Many franchisors responded to the favorable investment environment by providing more franchise opportunities, which bolstered industry revenue. Many, for example, developed networks to assist franchisees in obtaining a loan for franchise investments.” As a result, industry revenue has expanded over the past five years, and is expected to grow in 2015. As low-cost, low-amenity gyms gained popularity over the period, lower franchise investments were required, causing profit to rise. “Additionally, contained start-up costs, such as low marketing costs due to franchisors' already established brand awareness, spurred many franchisees to enter the industry,” says Ulama. “The growing popularity of budget and boutique gyms and fitness facilities increased demand for franchise establishments.”
During the five years to 2020, industry revenue is forecast to grow at a faster pace. The proliferation of public health campaigns that raise awareness about health and fitness will prompt new gym and fitness franchises to enter the market. Further, more time-strapped consumers will require high-margin services, like fitness trainers and individually tailored nutritional plans, to achieve fitness results despite limited available time. Because more individuals prefer gyms that are catered toward local clientele, franchises will become more popular.
