Ryan Kelford, operations manager at Versaclimber UK, commented on the findings: “Many of us are guilty of a quick gym selfie, and when the gym looks as good as some of those featured on this list, it’s not surprising. Fitness is a passion for lots of people – especially here in Swansea – which is why there’s such a big appetite to share their journey online.

“Now that summer is over and people’s evenings and weekends are set to be less busy, it’s the perfect time for people to kick-start their fitness routines once more. This gives gyms the incentive to invest in making their in-person member experience better than ever.

“Ultimately, a gym isn’t just a place to exercise. It’s somewhere to unwind and socialise as well as work out. As more and more venues understand the importance of facilitating this rounded experience, we’re sure that they’ll see their social tags soar.”
