Built for Jackson personal trainers
Jackson counted 69 employer fitness centers, 11.3 per 100,000 residents, almost exactly the national metro median, but the split by county is striking: Rankin County had 27, Madison County 22 and Hinds County 17. The suburbs hold most of the gyms. Only 24 were under five staff, and 17 had twenty or more. A trainer who serves both sides of the Pearl River needs each client's location settled when they book, not by message the night before.
