Abstract
Private fitness companies have become relevant players in the sports market alongside traditional sports clubs in Switzerland. This chapter gives an overview on the current situation of the fitness sector and its development during the past years. There are about 1,000 fitness facilities in Switzerland, which are mainly owned by market actors but also by sports clubs. On the individual level, the data shows that being fit is an important motive for regular sport activities and about 20 percent of the population explicitly practise so called fitness activities or training. This figure has considerably grown since 2008 and the clear majority of fitness participants use private fitness and sports centres. Furthermore, fitness training is more popular in younger age groups.
