Boca Raton Gym Market -- Overview
Boca Raton is one of South Florida's most affluent Atlantic-coast cities, home to Florida Atlantic University, IBM's historic Boca campus, the Boca Raton Resort & Club, and a strong snowbird/seasonal-resident base from the Northeast. The fitness market reflects this affluence: Equinox, LA Fitness, Crunch and a deep boutique scene including Pilates, Solidcore, Club Pilates, Orangetheory, CorePower Yoga and Barry's. Planet Fitness anchors the value tier. The seasonal population (October - April) measurably boosts gym demand.
