description

In Spain, fitness has developed into a sector that offers a series of services associated with an active and healthy lifestyle for the body transformation, recreation and physical exercise of its users. This chapter examines the evolution of fitness in Spain parallel to the changes in the population’s sports habits. The study examines the popularity of fitness and its position in the Spanish sports system and the organisational and economic characteristics of the sector (main operators, types of gyms, activities offered, infrastructures, employment, membership fees, revenues), as well as the sociodemographic profile of the practitioners. To do so, a large number of studies and reports carried out by consulting and market research companies and specialized reviews are used.
