Revenue model

1. Physiotherapy Services: Revenue generated from physiotherapy treatments, manual therapy, sports physiotherapy, pelvic therapy, and other specialized physiotherapy services. Treatments are primarily billed directly to health insurance companies as the company has contracts with all major health insurers. Patients pay out-of-pocket for treatments not covered by insurance (e.g., without supplemental insurance, for the first 20 treatments of chronic conditions).
2. Fitness and Sports Memberships: Recurring membership fees for access to fitness facilities, squash courts, yoga/pilates classes, swimming, and group training. Memberships are billed per 4-week period, monthly, or annually. Includes corporate fitness, personal training add-ons, and 10-ride cards.
3. One-time Services and Day Passes: Revenue from one-time services including day passes for gym access, individual squash court reservations, single yoga/pilates classes, startup sessions for new members, and special seasonal promotions such as the summer deal (€50 for 2 months unlimited).

Broad incumbents

• Basic-Fit: Largest low-cost fitness chain in the Netherlands and Europe with hundreds of clubs and memberships from ~€24.99/month. Competes directly with KernGezond's general fitness membership offering, though without the integrated physiotherapy specialization.
• TrainMore: Dutch low-cost premium fitness chain with multiple locations across the Netherlands. Comparable in pricing and target audience to KernGezond Fitness, but operates at national scale with no physiotherapy services.
• Fit For Free: Dutch budget fitness chain offering basic gym access at low monthly prices. Targets the same price-sensitive gym customers as KernGezond Fitness in Lelystad but lacks clinical therapy integration.
• HealthCity: Dutch premium fitness chain with full-service clubs offering group classes, personal training, and wellness amenities. Comparable to KernGezond's premium positioning in Lelystad and the broader Flevoland market.
• SportCity: Established Dutch mid-market fitness chain with group classes and training facilities. Comparable to KernGezond's group-class and personal-training offerings, though without an in-house physiotherapy practice.
• AnyTime Fitness Netherlands: Global 24/7 franchise fitness brand with Dutch locations. Competes for the same mainstream gym membership customer as KernGezond Fitness, particularly in regional Dutch markets.
• David Lloyd: Premium European health, fitness, and racquets club operator with locations in the Netherlands. Comparable to KernGezond's premium Lelystad facility with squash courts and family programming, but operates at much larger scale and price point.

Direct peers

• Fys'Optima: Dutch physiotherapy practice network offering multi-specialty therapy and supervised exercise programs. Closely comparable to KernGezond on the clinical side, including the integration of fitness-style programming into physiotherapy.
• FysioHolland: Large Dutch network of affiliated physiotherapy practices with multiple specializations. Most directly comparable peer for KernGezond's multi-specialty physiotherapy practice across Lelystad, Mijdrecht and Wilnis.
• Medifit: Dutch integrated physiotherapy and fitness concept that combines clinical rehab with supervised training — the closest functional analog to KernGezond's combined Fysiotherapie + Sport model, though operating at different geographic scale.
