Smart Gyms in Germany See Rapid Growth as Market Share Expands

With 398 facilities at the start of 2025, Smart Gyms now represent 4.4% of fitness studios in Germany, projected to double their share by year's end.

Smart Gyms in Germany have grown significantly, increasing from 398 facilities at the start of 2025 to a forecast of 550-600 by the end of the year.
These technology-driven gyms operate with minimal or no on-site personnel, relying on smartphone apps and camera monitoring for 24/7 or extended-hour access.
Smart Gyms currently account for 4.4% of Germany's fitness facilities, with projections indicating a rise to 10% in the near future.
While convenient for experienced users, the smaller 300-square-meter facilities offer limited training options and may pose challenges for beginners without supervision.
Industry experts view Smart Gyms as a complementary option to traditional gyms, catering to local convenience but lacking the variety and engagement of larger facilities.
