The revenue of entrepreneurs who own tennis courts and provide stretching services increased by 82% and 68%, respectively, in the first half of 2025, outstripping the revenues of fitness clubs by four times. This information follows from the data of the YCLIENTS business process automation platform, which was reviewed by Izvestia on August 25.
