Where it meets Wellness & Lifestyle

Personal training, gyms, yoga and nutrition firms often carry both labels: 12% of Sports & Recreation companies also carry Wellness & Lifestyle. The framing differs more than the activity does.

Consumer sellers dominate the group

Training and fitness form twin blocks

Methodology

Aggregate counts from the DiscoLike index of 80M+ companies. Companies without a resolvable location are counted under 'unknown', and cells below the minimum count threshold are folded into an 'other' bucket. Industry and business-type categories overlap: a company carrying several labels is counted in each.

Updated monthly. Current snapshot: October 2026. See the full Company Index Stats.
