Political factors
Political issues are always comes from the government in the form of rules and regulations,
policies and legislation, UK's government are very supportive in terms to provide their citizen a
good health, so they help the fitness industry. They have negligible political factors which can be

Social factors
These are demographic factors, as UK's people are very healthy, they are suffering through
obesity, So the industry would target all of them. Some people are not conscious about fitness
and health, so the fitness centres should spread awareness and let them understand the
importance of exercise and healthy body. They can provide low prices, and small sessions to
enhance their interest.
Technological factors

As increment in the technologies in every field it influences the fitness industry also,
technological developments are very important so it affects their services and exercise, they are
providing. As they have highly technical equipments in their centre people will come more to use
them, and it would lead to save the timing.
Environmental factors
Environmental conditions does not affect the fitness industry. Weather and climate change can't
affect the health and fitness of people so it would be appropriate for them to do exercise in
continue manner.
Legal factors
The final factor that influences the industry environment is legal. For the health and wellness
industry, there are health and safety regulations that businesses must follow, insurance issues,
regular machine maintenance, and proper training of staff members. Gyms are required to keep
their establishments clean and safe in order to avoid the chance of illness or injury of customers.
They must also properly train staff members on dealing with clients because of the personal
nature of their roles; this would help in avoiding lawsuits from clients as well(Masih, and et.al.,
2019).
Porter's Five Forces
Porter identifies five forces which influence companies at industry level. These are threat
of new entrant, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of customers, threat of
substitutes, rivalry amongst existing competitors.

(Source: Porters 5 Force, 2016)
First the new entrant in the fitness industry, there are number of barriers to enter any new
industry, like cost, capital investments, threat of retaliation. Also, the laws and permits are
properly signed by the authorities. If the new entrant enter the industry the competitors of it are
against of it they would low their costs, refine their structures.
Second is power of suppliers, the suppliers for this industry are majorly be exercise equipments
manufacturers and supplements providers for the gym. The bargaining power of the suppliers are
relatively low in this industry because it just depends on the quality of the equipments. So the
customers can switch from one supplier to another is not so high(Boafo, Kraa, and Webu, 2018).
Third is Power of Buyers, it is very high because there are lots of fitness centre are available in
the market, customer can switch easily if he would not get proper services and equipments and
well trained trainers.
Fourth one is Threat of substitutes , mainly the substitutes for this industry would be working out
at home. This option will be cheaper than the traditional gyms. One more substitutes is yoga
centre or open garden classes in which the old ages or youngsters can go do the yoga at
reasonable prices, also in the open air of gardens peoples are free to do exercises or yoga to
maintain their health. Fifth one is rivalry amongst existing competitors as there are lots of
competition in the fitness industry, who provide better services, who have well maintained, high

class equipment in their centre, who can give best rates to the people(Wang, and Nguyen, 2017).
All these factors are considered in the industry to maintain their position in market and fight
against the rivalry.
Realfit Centre is doing its best after analysing the market and trying to provide best
services to their customers.

There are lot of risks in the fitness industry according to the details described by Pestle
analysis and Porter's five forces identified. Majorly there are risk from the competitors in the
industry as they provide better services to the customers, they provide good membership
schemes, more discount offers to the customers will lead to loss of the particular gym centre. If
the competitor provides the best gym equipments and machinery for exercise at good prices the
public will attract more towards it. According to threat of substitutes there is risk of losing the
position in the market, fitness centre should be aware of their substitutes, like other provides
homes services, trainer go to the customers home and train him better at low cost. Customer
would be choosing this option. Risk from the new entrant in the industry as if it provides better
services, highly equipped machinery, more spacious, provide good discounts to established in the
market. The economic factors affect the company when they have recession period. And social

factors also posses risk like people are not aware, they don't know about the diseases happens
due to obesity(Anderson, Grant, and Hurley, 2017).
So the Realfit centre have to be conscious about these factors of risk, as they do the
market research properly. They launch new strategies to gain customers on their sites, follow
new market strategy for maintaining position in market. They should also apply lost cost strategy
in their gym, they should organize small sessions of exercise for their customers, give demo of
seven days in their gym. Good membership schemes should be given to their customers. They
organize their centre according to customers needs, they should understand the customers needs,
and then start their exercise and diet. It builds their reputation for taking care of the customers
and enhances their target segment(Li, 2018).
