Chains and independents

Of the 2,373 gyms we hold, 429 (18%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Virgin Active (137), Planet Fitness (56), Body20 Sebele – Botswana (28), BODYTEC South Africa (23) and Zone Fitness (21). The other 82% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.

What to check before choosing

• Phone ahead to confirm the business is still trading at the listed address. Our data comes from an open mapping dataset and can be out of date.
• Ask about prices, availability and opening times directly. NearMe does not publish prices or opening hours.

Contact details and directions

Of the 2,373 entries, 91% list a phone number, 63% a website and 94% a street address. Entries with map coordinates have a Directions link that opens Google Maps. Listings come from the open Overture Maps Places dataset. NearMe is an independent directory, not the provider, so please confirm details directly with the business.
