Small-cap spotlight

GYM Group shares rose 2.5p to 262.5p as it reported an “encouraging” performance so far in 2022. The Omicron variant hit gym activity in December but visits per member per week are now at normal pre-Covid levels across its 202-strong no-contract estate. Total membership is up 8% from the end of 2021 to 776,000, with further gains expected when work from home guidance is removed on Wednesday. Gym Group also reported 2021 revenues of

£106 million, an increase of 31.7% on the previous year.
