S. Korea fitness craze meets reality as gyms shut down in record numbers

//health-fitness.news-articles.net/content/2025/ .. reality-as-gyms-shut-down-in-record-numbers.html

Published in Health and Fitness on Wednesday, February 5th 2025 at 3:43 GMT by MSN

South Korea's once-booming fitness industry is in crisis. Despite the country's social media-driven body culture, gyms are shutting down at an unprecedented rate. In 2024 alone, 553 fitness centres closed - a 26.

The article from MSN discusses the current downturn in South Korea's fitness industry, where despite a previous boom in gym memberships and fitness culture, there has been a significant increase in gym closures. This trend is attributed to several factors including economic pressures, changing consumer behaviors, and the aftermath of the global health crisis. Previously, South Korea saw a surge in fitness enthusiasm, with gyms becoming social hubs and fitness influencers gaining popularity. However, the economic recovery post-COVID has been challenging, with rising costs and a shift towards home workouts reducing the demand for traditional gym memberships. The article highlights that over 1,000 gyms closed in the last year, a stark contrast to the industry's growth in the past. This situation has led to a reevaluation of business models in the fitness sector, with many gyms now focusing on digital offerings or niche markets to survive.
