Questions
How many gyms are in Georgia?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 3,214 gyms in Georgia. 911 of them (28%) are chain locations. The listings count gyms and fitness centers. Official counts show 1,186 businesses with payroll classed as fitness and recreational sports centers in 2023, up 5.2% from 2019. The official count takes in all fitness and recreational sports centers, not only gyms: yoga, Pilates and fitness studios are counted too.
How much do households in Georgia spend on memberships, classes and admissions?
About $3.2B a year, or $792 per household. That is 19% below the U.S. average (an index of 81, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 3,214 gyms on map listings, it comes to $1M per gym. That spending covers all memberships, classes and admissions, which gyms share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,074,366 households in Georgia and national spending patterns by income.
How does Georgia compare with the U.S. for gyms?
Georgia has 7.9 gyms per 10,000 households, 4% above the U.S. rate of 7.6. Spending per gym is $1M, 23% below the U.S. figure of $1.3M. At the U.S. ratio of gyms to household spending, Georgia would have about 2,479, against 3,214 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 3,435 households, against one for every 3,109 across the U.S. The official count rose 5.2% from 2019 to 2023, against +5.8% for the U.S.
Which market in Georgia has the highest market score for gyms?

Among 22 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Kingsland area scores highest, at 71 (upper middle). Among 84 scored counties in Georgia, Effingham County scores highest, at 82 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Georgia scores 43 for gyms (lower middle), #31 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Georgia. It maps the gyms on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
