Gyms in Latvia: What the Fitness Market Actually Looks Like
Latvia has a well-developed commercial gym market for its 1.9 million residents, led by pan-Baltic chain MyFitness and budget challenger Lemon Gym, alongside independent full-service clubs, CrossFit affiliates and hotel fitness centres in Riga and Jūrmala.
Typical prices run from €25/month at Lemon Gym and basic independents to €55-65/month at MyFitness flagship clubs with pool, sauna and classes. Annual prepayment commonly saves 20-30 %.
