US EditionGym Chain Says Weight-Loss Jabs Helping to Boost Business
The Gym Group reported 4% membership growth and plans to open 75 new UK sites over three years, driven by demand linked to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and Gen Z fitness trends.

- Last week, University of Oxford research suggested people on fat-loss jabs need ongoing diet and exercise support, while University College London and University of Cambridge found jab users may face muscle loss.
- The Gym Group reported membership increased 40% to 923,000 and revenue rose 8% to £244.9 million for the year ended December 31.
- Owing to strong trading performance, The Gym Group will accelerate an organically funded rollout to around 75 new sites over the next three years and begin a £10 million share buyback to complete by the end of 2026.
- Analysts at Peel Hunt flagged GLP-1 medications plus Gen Z—around 40% of members treating fitness as `mandatory`—as key drivers amid Orr's view of enduring health, fitness and wellness trends.
