What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Five brands, Anytime Fitness, Goodlife Health Clubs, REVL Training, Fitstop, and Derrimut 24:7 Gym, each hold identical visibility scores of 12.5% and composite scores of 8.8, placing them far above the category average of 3.7%. The remaining 12 brands in the audit, including Fitness First, F45 Training, Plus Fitness, Jetts, and BFT, record 0.0% visibility. This binary split means the top five collectively account for all measurable AI presence in the category, with no gradual middle tier.
Despite their visibility, all 17 brands in the audit show a citation rate of exactly 0.0%. This means Google AI Mode is naming these brands within responses but not linking back to their domains, creating a clear divergence between being mentioned and being cited as a trusted source. Brands like Anytime Fitness and Goodlife Health Clubs are visible to AI-generated answers but receive no direct referral traffic or source attribution from those appearances.
The top cited sources in this category are google.com, reddit.com, facebook.com, tripadvisor.com, and instagram.com, alongside smaller local domains such as starworks.com.au, powerhousefitnessgym.com, and justbox.au. Google AI Mode is anchoring its answers on social platforms and review aggregators rather than on brand-owned websites. This pattern explains why brand domains score zero on citation even when the brand names themselves appear in AI-generated responses.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
