Perth Gym Market -- Overview
Perth, the historic Scottish "Fair City" on the River Tay, is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross. The gym market is small but solid, shaped by Perth Concert Hall, SSE plc HQ (formerly Scottish and Southern Energy), Perth Royal Infirmary, and a walkable medieval city core. Budget chain PureGym leads; Live Active Leisure (council) runs the leisure-centre network.
