Revenue per employee is calculated on the 305 of 482 companies that report an employee count, as the median of the ratio within each company.
Median, not mean. A mean would be pulled up by the largest companies in the industry, and would say little about a typical one.

Public contracts
Who in the industry wins public contracts
We find no public contracts awarded to companies in activities of fitness centres since 2022. Public procurement appears to play little or no role in this industry.
Contracts come from Doffin and TED. Our collection is not complete, and TED covers only contracts above the EEA threshold, so the figures are a floor and not a full count. We say what we find, not what exists.
