Fitness First remains the world's largest chain with 474 owned clubs while Curves International is the largest franchise operator with 8,032 sites - despite the womens-only chain losing clubs during 2010.
When measured by the number of members, the top ranked companies remained unchanged from 2009 with 24 Hour Fitness leading the pack with 3.8 million members.
