Three categories where demand is already ahead of supply.
Every figure on this page is attributed. Pick a concept and go straight to its numbers.
Padel//Swt
688 courts across the entire United States. Spain has about 17,000.
Core Precinct
Participants grew 12% a year while studio supply grew 1%.
contrastheory
About 1,000 dedicated plunge studios nationwide, almost all independent.
One platform, three tailwinds.
A Fitura operator holds a position in all three categories at once.
The United States is the most under-built padel market in the world
More than 35 million players across 130+ countries, up from under 8 million a decade ago. US infrastructure has not followed.
People per padel court, by market
The US serves roughly 68,500 people per court. Spain, the mature benchmark, serves 2,824. Sweden sits near 2,500.
- Sweden: 2,500 people per court
- Spain: 2,824 people per court
- France: 6,344 people per court
- Italy: 6,344 people per court
- UAE: 20,154 people per court
- United States: 68,500 people per court
US court count today versus 2030
688 courts in Q2 2025, with more than 6,000 projected by 2030. Global court supply grew roughly five-fold in a decade, including about 26% in 2024 alone.
- US courts, Q2 2025: 688
- US courts projected, 2030: 6,000
About 61% of US courts are outdoors, so the climate-controlled club segment is the thinnest of all.
Players worldwide
Across 130+ countries, up from under 8 million a decade ago.
Global court growth in 2024
A fraction of mature-market infrastructure.
Spain has roughly 17,000 courts, the United Kingdom about 1,000, and the United States 688 as of Q2 2025. Padel//Swt is built for the indoor, club-quality end of that gap: courts, coaching, leagues, food and beverage and retail inside one premium box.
Reformer Pilates demand is growing twelve times faster than studio supply
Reformer Pilates was the most booked exercise type on ClassPass globally two years running, and the studio base has barely moved.
Annual growth rate, 2022 to 2025
Participants compounded at 12% a year while studio supply compounded at 1%. That imbalance is the entire opportunity.
- Studio supply: 1% CAGR
- Participants: 12% CAGR
US reformer Pilates participants, in millions
From 10.3 million in 2022 to 15 million in 2025, a 45% increase. The category is forecast to keep compounding at roughly 11% a year through 2032.
- 2022: 10.3M participants
- 2025: 15M participants
Participants served per studio
Each studio now absorbs 355 participants against 253 in 2022, a 40% increase in load. Waitlists, not marketing, are the constraint in strong metros.
- 2022: 253 participants per studio
- 2025: 355 participants per studio
Unmet demand
A 42% under-supply of studios nationally.
Additional studios required to rebalance supply
Top ClassPass category, two years running.
Category CAGR through 2032
Participant growth, 2022 to 2025
Recovery has the thinnest facility base of any comparable category
Contrast therapy studios sit at the lowest facilities-per-million-people density of any comparable fitness format, in a wellness economy adding trillions.
US plunge and sauna venues, by type

- Dedicated plunge studios: 1,011
- Dedicated plunge facilities: 1,176
- Venues with a sauna: 2,308
- All plunge or sauna venues: 5,498

- 2023: $6.3T
- 2024: $6.8T
- 2029 est.: $9.8T
Annual growth
Infrared sauna and indoor cold plunge, through 2034.
Of Gen Z doesn't drink alcohol
Shifting social occasions toward wellness venues.
Fewest facilities per million people of any comparable category.
Social impressions on #recovery
Wearables made recovery a tracked habit.
WHOOP, Hyperice and Oura continue to grow the recovery market.
Fragmented and mostly independent.
Single-modality venues dominate; almost none run hot and cold as one guided protocol.
Recovery raises frequency across the box.
Co-located with padel or reformer training, recovery adds visits rather than competing for them.
