The research
The fitness industry employs around 650.000 people, in different roles, age categories and contract types. Why did they join the fitness industry, and what keeps them motivated? Is it the lifestyle, is it to help people to get stronger and fitter, or is income the most important reason? Does it matter if someone’s employed in England or Spain, at a budget or premium club, employee or entrepreneur?
It is the first research of its kind in this sector in Europe and will help club owners and managers to develop the most effective proposition to their workers. The innovative research was conducted in Europe by EuropeActive and Crunchr. 650 employees within the fitness and active leisure sector contributed to the research.
