Orlando Gym Market — Overview
Orlando's gym market is shaped by theme-park tourism, a large convention trade and fast-growing residential areas in Lake Nona, Horizon West and Winter Garden. The market has more than 350 commercial gyms across Orange and Seminole counties. Value chains (Planet Fitness, YouFit, Crunch) hold the bulk of memberships, RDV Sportsplex Athletic Club anchors the premium tier, and Orangetheory leads the boutique market.
