Energy Procurement for Gyms and Leisure Facilities

Gyms. Studios. Leisure Centres. Training Facilities.

Energy is one of the largest fixed costs in a gym or leisure facility. Heating, lighting, ventilation, showers, equipment and long opening hours mean energy is always running in the background. When rates are wrong, margins feel it immediately.

Most gym owners do not actively choose bad energy contracts. They inherit them, renew them under pressure, or leave them untouched while focusing on members and performance.

Energy IQ Group exists to remove that friction and put control back into the process.

The Reality for Gyms and Leisure Operators

Energy usage in gyms and leisure facilities is unique. Generic commercial contracts rarely account for this properly.

Long daily operating hours

High heating and hot water demand

Peaks around class schedules

Equipment that cannot be powered down

Members who expect comfort at all times

We regularly see gyms:

Renewing onto poor rates because energy is not a priority

Paying for tariffs that do not match their usage patterns

Managing contracts reactively rather than proactively

The result is unnecessary cost, quietly eroding profitability.

How We Work with Gyms and Leisure Businesses

We start with your existing contract. Not with switching. Not with selling. Not with assumptions.

Our role is to sense check whether your current energy arrangement still makes sense for how your facility actually operates today.

We do this by:

  • Reviewing your gas and electricity contracts

  • Understanding opening hours, equipment load, and usage patterns

  • Benchmarking against the wider gym and leisure market

  • Identifying any unnecessary cost or risk

If there is a genuine improvement to be made, we explain it clearly.

If there is not, we tell you that too.
