As 2025 draws to a close, the fitness industry continues to evolve at a pace, with the boutique fitness sector showing sustained growth across Europe and beyond – creating exciting opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs and fitness enthusiasts.

Across Europe, health club memberships have climbed from 67.7 million in 2023 to 71.6 million in 2024, driving total industry revenue to approx. €36 billion. Globally, the boutique fitness market was valued at an estimated US$135 billion in 2024 – and is projected to continue expanding even more.
