Trademark classes · By business type
Which trademark classes does a gym need?
Most gyms register in class 41 (Education & entertainment).
Fitness training and gym facilities sit in the education-and-sport class. Gyms with branded activewear add the clothing class, and equipment ranges pull in the sporting-goods class.

Before you file in class 41, make sure the name is free. If it's already taken, your application can be refused — and the £205 IPO fee isn't refunded. Checking takes seconds and costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
- 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. See the full cost breakdown .
