The rise of new digital competitors for the fitness industry

Posted on 14-07-2023

In the past, competition in the fitness industry was simple: the gym around the corner, further down the street, or further into the village.

In 2023, the new competition will be digital and coming from unexpected sides

NEW: NIKESTUDIOS!

Nike is now your direct competitor with a group exercise club concept.

Spotify, Apple, Audio Workouts, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Virtual Reality and Youtube, among others, are the new digital competitors for gyms in America, in Canada and in the UK! The number of users of all these apps and digital training tools has skyrocketed to many hundreds of millions of users worldwide thanks to the crisis.
