Membership and Participation Interpretation

The UK's gym industry is a paradox of dedicated and fickle fitness, where record memberships, a flood of new sign-ups, and a booming over-55s demographic are perpetually trying to outrun a relentless monthly churn of 3.5%, proving our commitment to health is as flexible as the 2.1 million members on no-contract plans.

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
