How can we shape the future of the fitness industry?

Since its debut, EVOLVE has grown organically year after year, gaining momentum and support from a total of 14 partners. Curious to meet the architects of this movement? Discover them below by clicking on their logo.

EVOLVE stands as a testament to collaboration, bringing together disruptors and thought leaders within the industry. Fueled by Leisure DB's powerful data and insights, EVOLVE aspires to ignite new perspectives, encourage exploration into untapped markets, and foster the growth of the sector. It serves as a dynamic space where industry stakeholders converge, sharing insights and collectively sparking change.

EVOLVE serves as a platform to launch our cornerstone publication The State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, which is more than just numbers, it's a robust source of market intelligence that offers context and discussion points for businesses across the sector, elevated by solutions from our partners and expert 'Industry views' from Barclays, Pinsent Mason, Otium Real Estate, Consumer Fitness Finance & Technology.
