As of 2024, the UK has approx. 5,278 gyms, fitness centres, clubs, outdoor venues, contributing to an industry worth an estimated £1.8 billion.

Many gyms & fitness centres experienced financial difficulties during the global pandemic, resulting in some even closing completely. Post-pandemic, home gyms and online classes remain high, and the fitness industry is still struggling.

We also know that “Pay as you go” (PAYG) membership also adds a degree of uncertainty to the income of fitness establishments which can make it challenging to secure finance from some lenders.

Union Business Finance understands the importance of movement on both people's physical & mental health. Gyms and fitness centres are a great way of socialising with others and getting your heart racing, both of which are essential to overall well being. Our experience in helping clients within the fitness industry means our brokers are knowledgeable & passionate about supporting your business with the financial support they need.
