The Gym ( (GB:GYM) ) has shared an announcement.

The Gym Group reported continued positive trading momentum in 2025, with revenue up 8% to £244.9m, like-for-like sales growing 3%, and average membership and revenue per member both increasing 4%. The group expects full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA (less normalised rent) to come in slightly above the top end of analyst forecasts, has reduced net debt to £59.3m versus expectations, and is guiding that 2026 EBITDA will again exceed consensus, underlining confidence in its business model and growth strategy. Operationally, the company opened 16 new sites to reach 260 gyms, is seeing strong performance from its 40 enhanced-format locations, and plans to accelerate expansion with about 75 new sites over the next three years—around 20 of them in 2026—funded from free cash flow while continuing to reinvest in its existing estate and technology. Reflecting strong cash generation and surplus financing capacity, the board intends to launch a share buyback programme of up to £10m, to be completed by end-2026, signalling management’s confidence in future prospects and offering potential value uplift for shareholders alongside the company’s accelerated rollout plans.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GYM) stock is a Hold with a £157.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on The Gym stock, see the GB:GYM Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:GYM Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:GYM is a Neutral.

The Gym Group’s stock score is driven by strong financial recovery and positive earnings call sentiment. However, high leverage and a relatively high P/E ratio pose risks. Technical indicators suggest moderate bullish momentum, while strategic initiatives like the employee share scheme support future growth.
