PureGym reports significant rise in profits as expansion continues

PureGym has reported a significant increase in profitability during the first half of 2026, supported by membership growth, new openings and improved performances across its international markets.

The gym operator generated revenue of £393 million during the six months to 30 June, an increase of six per cent on the £370.8 million recorded in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 23 per cent, from £100.4 million to £123.6 million, following revenue growth, improved margins and tight control of operating costs.

PureGym ended the period with 2.44 million members across its global business, compared with 2.38 million at the end of the first half of 2025. Average revenue per member increased by 2.1 per cent to £26.78. The group opened 17 gyms during the period, including 15 inthe UK and one each in Switzerland and the US. This took its total estate to 728 gyms, comprising 705 corporate-owned sites and 23 franchised gyms in the Middle East. PureGym said its new sites were performing ahead of expectations, with demand supported by the growing importance consumers place on health and wellbeing and the availability of convenient, affordable fitness facilities.

All of the group’s markets contributed to the improvement in profitability. The US business delivered particularly strong growth following continued progress with the integration of Blink Fitness. Adjusted EBITDA in the US increased by 35 per cent, from £6.5 million to £8.8 million.

The company also confirmed that it remains on track to enter the Republic of Ireland. Its first Irish gym is expected to open in Dublin in early 2027.
