The campaiGn
Independent gyms and fitness facilities play a vital role in the UK’s preventative health infrastructure, supporting physical and mental health, reducing pressure on the NHS, and providing accessible community spaces for people to stay active. Despite this, they are being squeezed by rising business rates and excluded from fair treatment.
This campaign is calling for fairer treatment for independent gyms when decisions on business rates are made.
Rising costs are pushing independent gyms to the margins, with many facing difficult decisions about their future, at a time when other parts of the leisure, health and well-being sector are receiving greater support. This risks overlooking the key role gyms play in reducing pressure on the NHS and supporting healthier communities.
