Kent Gym Market -- Overview
Kent sits in the Kent Valley between Seattle and Tacoma in King County, anchored by Boeing-adjacent aerospace suppliers, a major warehousing and distribution sector (Amazon, REI HQ in nearby), and a diverse residential population. Shift-driven employment and commuter patterns to Seattle keep extended-hour gyms busy. 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, Planet Fitness and Anytime Fitness lead the chain market.
