Apple Valley Gym Market -- Overview
Apple Valley sits in California's High Desert in the northeast Inland Empire (San Bernardino County), neighbouring Victorville and Hesperia along the Mojave's edge. The demographic mixes retirees (the city has long been a retirement destination), military families with ties to the former George AFB area and commuter households making the long drive to LA / Inland Empire jobs. The fitness market is value-driven: Planet Fitness leads, with Crunch, Anytime and the In-Shape network in nearby Victorville covering the rest.
