According to the Graphical Research new growth forecast report titled Europe Fitness Equipment Market size is set to collect over USD 4 billion by 2026. The market growth is driven by a rise in the number of consumers owning fitness equipment for enhanced workouts at home. With the increasing demand, fitness equipment providers are focusing on launching on-demand classes to enable users to have a virtual workout session with an experienced trainer.

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the temporary closure of gyms and fitness centers in Europe. The rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in countries including Germany, France, Italy, and Spain forced government organizations to impose stringent lockdown measures to ensure social distancing to stop the spread of the virus. The fitness equipment market witnessed a fall in the demand from gyms and health clubs in the first quarter of 2020. With relaxations in lockdown rules and the reopening of gyms, the Europe fitness equipment market will regain traction.
