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.

The UAE fitness Industry has expanded significantly over the last decade with 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 offering classes in more than 140 gyms across the city for a set monthly fee instead of annual memberships is dramatically increasing member penetration

Hotels/Resorts: Majority of the Luxury Hotels and Resorts in the UAE have well-equipped gyms offering special memberships to the public. Hotels are also collaborating with fitness centres to provide special trainings thereby increasing member penetration and increasing employment.

Schools/Universities: 70%-80% of the Universities in UAE have well equipped gyms either on campus or hostel for the students who aspire for physical well being thus promoting an active healthy lifestyle. Initiatives such as Dubai Fitness Challenge are also encouraging students to take part in 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 fitness and convenience. The closure of public gyms, fitness centers and clubs since COVID 19 has led to an astounding demand for residential/community gyms.

Assessment of the Indirect Economic Impact of Fitness Industry in UAE: The fitness market has a ripple effect on other sectors such as fitness equipment industry, construction, real estate, apparel and footwear and technology. With growing population and presence of huge number of expat population, UAE is the largest and potential markets for fitness equipment in the GCC region.

Assuming a significant percentage of the population affected with lifestyle diseases goes to a fitness centre, the estimated savings in direct health care costs from UAE's fitness centres is USD 9.8 Bn in a year. The largest component of this saving arises from the avoided costs of cardiovascular disease, which provides a saving of around USD 6.9 Mn in a year along with increase in workforce participation and increase in workforce productivity 28.3% and 45% respectively.
