Fitness Park posts €461M 2025 revenue

Gym chains live or die on repetition. Monthly dues recur. Visits repeat. New sites copy a playbook that either travels well or doesn’t. That is why Fitness Park’s 2025 numbers matter more than they might look at first glance. The French operator just posted €461 million in revenue, up 9%, while growing to 403 clubs and more than 1.3 million members — a scale that now puts it in Europe’s top tier.

Rapid club growth can outrun operational quality. More sites mean more staffing pressure, more real-estate exposure, and more risk that new gyms cannibalize old ones.
