Independent gyms aren’t just businesses, they’re part of the UK’s health system.
Every day, people walk through our doors to move more, feel better, and stay on top of their physical and mental health - taking real pressure off the NHS in the process.
But right now, independent gyms are being squeezed.
With business rates rising, many facilities are being pushed to the limit while other parts of the leisure sector get more support.
This isn’t just gyms taking a hit, it’s people losing places they rely on to stay active, clear their head, and be part of something.
We’re not asking for special treatment, just fair treatment.
