The Gym Group plc scores 56/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.

That places The Gym Group plc joint 27th of 596 companies scored, and 1st of 11 in Hospitality / Hotels.

The Gym Group has secured SBTi-validated net-zero targets and strong renewable energy coverage, making it the first fitness chain to achieve this milestone. Its weaknesses are material: water impact remains unquantified, nature/biodiversity assessment is absent, and estate growth risks offsetting operational intensity gains despite absolute Scope 1&2 reduction commitments.
