The Global Gym Membership Market is Growing
Wellness is driving more individuals to actively pursue a healthy lifestyle, and as a result, consumers are spending more to improve their fitness level, nutrition, appearance, sleep, and mindfulness. With health a top priority for many people, the fitness industry is seeing massive growth worldwide as many consumers desire to create lifelong lifestyle habits rather than striving to reach a single, short-term goal.
As more individuals take their health and fitness seriously and gain a heightened awareness of how exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, the fitness industry has become a profitable market to invest in. After seeing growth for over a decade, the global fitness industry is valued at over $96.7 billion currently and is expected to see a consistent growth rate of 3% to 4% annually.
Club memberships are rapidly rising in the US market. With an estimated 22% of adults having a gym membership, the industry shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, some estimates of gym and fitness membership revenues are forecasted to increase 171% between 2023 and 2028!
At Snap Fitness, we’re bolstering our existing membership base for our franchise owners by positioning ourselves in the mid-priced segment of the fitness market, offering opportunities for members to improve their health and fitness on their terms, in a resultsfocused culture, and at an affordable price point.
As the global health and wellness industry continues to expand rapidly, Snap Fitness is proud to be a leader in its success story. Let us help you embrace our innovative business model to capitalize on the future growth opportunities of the fitness industry!

We’re Boosting Member Engagement
At Snap Fitness, we can help our members achieve their fitness goals with a wide range of techniques, no matter their shape, size, or experience level. Unlike usual gymworld conventions, we’re reframing working out by using a holistic, super supportive approach that’s simple to stick with – both in the gym and in everyday life.
Our approach focuses on replacing the perception of gyms as scary and competitive with a friendly and positive one that swaps fear for fun, both for our franchisees and our members! We’re all about “you can do this” instead of “you have to push harder.”
As part of our efforts to increase customer engagement and boost our franchisees’ return on investment, we’ve developed different approaches to reach all of our members. We know how hard it can be to jumpstart a healthy workout routine, so we’re continually working to remove virtually every barrier and the fear factor. We don’t believe in unachievable goals or grueling challenges that members will never complete; rather, we help them start small, support every step, and reward them along the way.
Our franchisees encourage member loyalty and ensure our members want to
continue their fitness journey with us by tracking and rewarding their milestones, connecting members through the Snap App, and delivering value. We provide a full recognition program where we award members badges for their daily fitness activities, as well as a communication schedule that keeps members’ progress at the forefront of their minds.
Additionally, we reward our members with outside-club benefits generated through our corporate partners. Club members enjoy access to our special member activities calendar, in addition to gamification through leaderboards, at-home workout programs, expert nutritional guidance, mindset coaching, and more, all designed to enhance their club connection.
Snap Fitness is on a mission to help our members create positive lifestyle habits that make them feel fantastic. We’re positioned to stay ahead of the competition as a market leader by tracking market conditions and continually evolving and improving our products and services.
