More than ever before, the British are happy to invest time and money in quality recreation activities. The evidence for this is clear. One in every seven people in the UK are now members of a gym. That's at least 9.7 million adults investing in their fitness. We also love finding recreational fun outside of working hours, with increasing numbers of visits and stays to places in the UK. According to Visit England, during a three month period, 7.3 million UK holidaymakers chose to take a break on their own shores. If you need further proof that recreation is big business these days, golf clubs have enjoyed their biggest membership growth this century.
This is a great moment to choose to launch a recreation franchise.

As this is such a huge and dynamic industry, the opportunities are highly diverse - including niches aimed at all ages. For example, you could open a fitness and fun franchise aimed at children with Fit Kids, Tumble Tots or The Little Gym. Or take up a franchise with The Woodhouse Day Spa brand.
