There are over seven thousand health and fitness clubs in the UK with just over ten million members. The health and fitness industry as a whole is going through a golden period and has grown over 20% in the past five years to become a £5 billion industry – it’s currently a booming sector to be working in.
It’s predicted that franchised business models and boutique operations are set to expand in the UK and take a larger share of the marketplace away from the big players.
However, the budget end of the market has become increasingly more competitive as many operators search for better ways to draw in new customers. Beyond lowering prices, technology, facilities and training provision are proving to be favourable ways to provide the customer with a better experience.
Recent research has revealed 85% of consumers have searched for local business online and that over 50% of them contacted that business the same day.
If Google is where your prospective customers are going to find a new gym or fitness facility in their local area and your business isn’t listed, there’s a high chance they will choose one of your competitors. Internet search and especially local search is therefore a crucial component for driving new customers to your gym, fitness studio or yoga class.
