By Market Structure: The organized sector has contributed major share to the overall Oman Fitness Services market revenue. This sector includes two entities namely, mixed gyms and women’s gym, indulged in providing all kinds of fitness services including Yoga, Pilates, Aerobics, Zumba and Personal Training. Unorganized centers have also been able to make use of the opportunities and enter the fitness industry because it offer reasonably lower membership fee and are easier to set up.

By Region: Muscat has accounted for the highest proportion of fitness centers in Oman, mainly because of the urban and wealthy population that lives in this region. This set of audience usually prefers a healthy lifestyle and has the resources to spend on fitness services. It is followed by Dhofar, which is the largest governorate in Oman. Hence, major fitness centers place high preference to location around these two provinces. These regions are followed by Al Batinah North and Al Batinah South in 2017. Other regions include Ad Dakhiliyah, Ad Dhahirah, Al Buraymi, Ibri, Musandam, Khasab, Ash Sharqiyah South and Sur.

By Gender: Males have undoubtedly dominated the fitness service market. The market for fitness services had been majorly driven by the country’s male population. More than half of the total individuals who attended gyms in 2017 were males while the rest were females. The rationale behind this can be attributed to the societal norms associated with women in Oman. With conservative norms still in place especially for women in Middle Eastern countries, the proportion of women attending fitness services has been low. However, with the changing lifestyle, trends, mentality and health consciousness among the population, this scenario is gradually changing. The demand for female specific services and fitness centers has already started picking up and this trend is assumed to continue in the future.

By Membership Subscription: Membership packages offered for one year is the most preferred package and has contributed more than one third of the total memberships in the market in 2017 due to various reasons including tier pricing which makes the one year packages economical in relation to the other membership packages. Additionally, better offers, discounts and promotions offered by fitness centers on buying the long-term packages have attracted consumers in huge number. The second most preferred package has been the three month package while 6 month package was least popular in 2017.
