Power World plays a pivotal role in shaping the fitness industry of the country. It is the Market Leader, and has maintained this standing for the past seventeen-years. It has successfully developed a gym model that provides quality fitness centres at an affordable price which provides an opportunity for people who are in the middle and upper income group in a developing country; such as Sri Lanka
. This gym model has been refined repeatedly, resulting in an existing network of 7-gyms. It is important to state that these gyms were set up and operated successfully during a period when there was much uncertainty in the country and the economy was in an artificially depressed state. Today that uncertainty is no more after 30 years, making it the ideal time for a seasoned pioneer such as Power Word gyms to expand its network of gyms. Alailima
