For a while now I've been wondering how the economy has been affecting the health club industry. After all, memberships could be seen as either a luxury or a necessity, depending on your point of view.
According to this interesting report from Reuters, health clubs are doing rather well, with Europe being one of the most advanced markets in the sector.
So, if you haven't yet joined up with a health club, now might be a good time to start thinking about it – it's a competitive, growing market, and in the current recession conditions it's likely that you'll be able to find a good deal that suits your needs and your pocket.
The report quoates a professional who calls the growth of the industry "a shift towards wellness".
It's not surprising that, after a century when most occupations were sedentary rather than physically active, we are now all on the move in our leisure time. It's also a good time to be thinking about private medical insurance, just to keep all bases covered and have peace of mind as well as a healthy body.
