Reno Gym Market -- Overview
Reno, on the Truckee River near the California-Nevada border and just north of Lake Tahoe, has a mid-sized gym market shaped by the University of Nevada Reno (UNR), gaming-and-tourism employers, and rapidly-growing tech / logistics employment along the Tahoe- Reno Industrial Center (Tesla Gigafactory, Switch, Panasonic). Mid-range chains EOS Fitness, Planet Fitness and Crunch lead.
