Health club trends and statistics from 1988 to present

Since 1988, health club trends and statistics have been the focus of a report derived from national consumer surveys conducted each January by American Sports Data, Inc. (ASD).

As the essential source of health club trends and statistics data for the sporting goods, fitness and health club industries, ASD can provide either syndicated or custom research data.

ASD health club trends and statistics reports have been utilized by a wide array of major corporations, media and industry associations including the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) and the International Health & Racquet Sportsclub Association (IHRSA).

• Demographics
  
• Frequency of attendance
  
• Activity participation
  
• Competitive facility patronage (YMCAs, corporate facilities, universities, military, in-home exercise, etc.)
  
• Membership fees

The new, expanded report on health club trends and statistics includes:

• Market share analysis (commercial clubs/non-profits/misc. for-profits)
  
• Health club share of the exercise universe (health club exercise as % of total U.S. fitness participation)
  
• Comparative 15-year trend data on exercise venues
  
• Rehab/physical therapy component of health club market
  
• Tenure analysis - first time members versus veterans; the length of present club membership
