Introduction

The headline is simple: cost-per-purchase for Fitness & Training Centers across all countries available ran materially above the global baseline and showed pronounced swings across the 12‑month window. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Fitness & Training Centers in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

From June 2025 to May 2026 the median Cost Per Purchase for Fitness & Training Centers averaged about $110.30, starting the period near $106.02 (June 2025) and finishing at $112.53 (May 2026) — a modest net lift of roughly 6.1% from start to finish. The annual high was $142.26 in September 2025; the low was $68.75 in February 2026, producing a range of about $73.5.

Relative to the baseline, the gap is large: the global median over the same months averaged about $49.77. That places Fitness & Training Centers roughly 2.2x the baseline (about +122% higher) on average. Month-by-month differences were widest in September 2025, when industry CPCs (Cost Per Purchase) peaked at nearly three times the global median, and narrowest in February 2026 when the industry trough brought the multiple down but still well above baseline.

Volatility was pronounced. Month-over-month absolute moves averaged roughly 15% — driven by big shifts like a +46% rebound from February to March 2026 and sharp declines of ~24% in both October→November 2025 and December→January 2026. These swings make the Fitness & Training Centers cost profile much choppier than the baseline, which itself moved in a narrower band between roughly $42 and $56.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

There’s a clear seasonal rhythm: costs climbed through summer and peaked in early fall (September–October 2025), then fell sharply into late Q4 and the start of Q1. The deepest trough landed in February 2026, after which there was a marked rebound in March and a subsequent steadier climb into spring. The most dramatic single-month swing was the March rebound (+46%), indicating a re-acceleration of purchase costs after the winter lull. Overall, Q3→Q4 showed elevated competition and higher CPAs, while late Q4 into early Q1 produced the steepest declines.

Country vs. Global

Viewed against the global benchmark, Fitness & Training Centers were consistently above average. The industry’s median cost per purchase hovered between roughly 2x and 3x the baseline across most months. Where the global trend showed modest seasonal upticks (baseline highs near $55 in March), the Fitness & Training Center series was both higher and more volatile — higher peaks in September/October and deeper month-to-month swings. In short: above market and more volatile than the global median throughout the period.
