Summary and extracts

1.1 Definition and presentation
The fitness market gathers all the practices of the sports center related to the well-being of the body . Fitness clubs generally offer group sessions, weight training and cardio machines, but also sometimes personalized coaching or even relaxation areas (juice bar, spa, zen room...).

With a penetration rate of less than 6% of the population, growth in Portugal is still slow. since this type of service is not a priority in the population's budget, many players are focusing on the low-cost segment, without towels, pool or sauna. This is undoubtedly the fastest growing segment and, with few established players, opens the way for new competitors.
