New member sign-ups are up year on year

Alongside busy classes and peak-hour footfall, GymNation says new registrations have increased compared with the same period last year.

The operator frames this as a sign that residents are still prioritising health and fitness, even with heightened media coverage of regional events.

What GymNation is hearing from members

GymNation CEO Loren Holland says day-to-day sentiment in clubs remains steady, with member behaviour reinforcing a calm, routine-first mindset.

“It’s very much business as usual across our clubs, and it’s encouraging to see our gyms full. That alone speaks volumes about the public’s confidence and their ‘keep calm, carry on–and lift weights’ attitude,” Holland said. He added that the overall sentiment among members remains calm and reassured, reflected in daily check-in numbers.

Complimentary three-day passes for non-members

To support the wider community, GymNation has introduced complimentary three-day passes for non-members across its GCC locations. The passes can be booked online and are positioned as a way for residents to maintain training routines during periods of uncertainty.

The bigger picture: wellbeing as a daily habit

GymNation says these steps sit within a broader commitment to wellbeing, mental health, and accessible fitness. The message is consistent: keep routines simple, keep them regular, and make training a reliable part of day-to-day life.
