US gym pricing has climbed while usage still looks surprisingly narrow, with only 1.1% of US adults using a gym or fitness facility in 2021 and an average membership costing US$58.11 per month in 2023. At the same time, the market picture is anything but flat, including a global boutique fitness forecast with 19.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2032 and rapid growth in connected fitness devices reaching 122 million units shipped in 2023. The tension between steady demand signals and shifting customer behavior makes the full Club Industry statistics worth a closer look.
