UAE Fitness Services Market
The
fitness market in UAE has witnessed strong growth with a considerable expansion
in the number of boutique and budget fitness centers directly contributing to
the economy. Growing health conscious population, increasing disposable income,

several fitness centre chains securing a key market foothold across the
country. It is characterized by a high proportion of part‐time employment with
majority of staff employed on a casual or part‐time basis. Boutique and medium
sized fitness centers dominate the sector, with more 70% of centers employing
fewer than 15 people in 2020.
Commercial Gyms: The rise of female-only fitness centres,
online fitness apps along with growth in boutique gyms are driving the
commercial fitness market in the country. Disruptors, such as Gym Nation with
their low-cost and big facilities along with aggregators, such as ClassPass

instead of annual memberships is dramatically increasing member penetration

activities and events
Residential Townships/Compounds: A number of large apartment buildings in the
UAE have a fitness center on their premises following the trend of combining
