What trademark class is a gym in?

Most gyms register in class 41. Class 41 covers education & entertainment. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.

Do gyms need to register in more than one class?

Often, yes. A trademark is only protected in the classes you register, and you pay a fee for each one. Gyms usually start with class 41, then add others as the business grows.

How much does it cost a gym to register a trademark?

Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a gym covering class 41 pays about £205. The fee isn't refunded if your mark is refused — which is why checking the name is free first matters.
