What 70+ Events Taught Us About Community Fitness in India

Across 70+ wellness and sports events in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Hyderabad, FindYourFit has seen 30% of its participants come back for a second event (FindYourFit Key Facts, October 2026). The average person stays about four hours per event, and The Wellness Carnival averages 5,000+ attendees per edition. Those three numbers shape everything below: people do not come to community fitness for a workout, they come for a day.

Lesson 1: People come back for the room, not the class

The repeat rate is the number we watch most. A 30% repeat rate means roughly three in ten participants have chosen FindYourFit more than once, across formats and cities. The four-hour average time on site points the same way: a yoga class ends in an hour, but a morning with fitness sessions, workshops, music and a wellness bazaar does not. FindYourFit's founders describe the aim as making wellness social, fun, easy and accessible, and the dwell time is the clearest sign it is working.

What this means for organisers: design for the hour after the class. If the only reason to stay is the workout, people leave when it ends.

Lesson 2: Three event sizes, three jobs

FindYourFit runs three formats at very different scales, and each does a different job.

Format Scale Job it does
The Wellness Carnival 7 editions, 5,000+ attendees on average Discovery: the front door for people new to community fitness
International Day of Yoga (with DLF Malls) 4 editions, 500–1,000 attendees Habit and brand: a calendar anchor in a mall setting
FindYourFit Sports (pickleball and padel) 18+ editions, 1,900+ participants Retention: weekly fixtures, a ladder and a city final that give people a reason to return

On the Sports format, players sign up solo or in a three-player team, play weekly fixtures at a city venue, climb a ladder to the City Cup Finals and then meet other city winners in Delhi for the national final. Matches are recorded and highlights shared with players. Racquets and paddles are provided, so the barrier to a first game is a pair of shoes.

Lesson 3: Price sets who walks in

FindYourFit's ticket ranges are wide because the formats are. Across all events, Delhi NCR tickets have run from ₹199 to ₹10,000, Bangalore from ₹299 to ₹15,000 and Jaipur from ₹500 to ₹2,500. The flagship Wellness Carnival entry for the next editions in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi is ₹799. The pattern is a low-priced entry day to build trust, then higher-priced tournaments and retreats for people who already belong.

Lesson 4: Every city runs differently

Each city has a different home for the community:

  • Delhi NCR: Home of The Wellness Carnival at Sunder Nursery and JLN Stadium, the DLF CyberHub Yoga Day in Gurugram, venues like Dirty Good and REPPP in Mehrauli, and the national final of FindYourFit Sports. The next Carnival is Sunday 21 February 2027 at JLN Stadium (event page). See Delhi NCR events.
  • Bangalore: Compact venues and recurring mornings: Wellness Carnival Lite at Depot 18, Jayamahal, the 067 Wellness Circuit in Whitefield and The Bangalore Cup. The next Carnival is Sunday 17 January 2027 at Depot 18 (event page). See Bangalore events.
  • Jaipur: A sports-first city. FindYourFit ran numbered pickleball tournaments from May 2025 up to Pickleball Tournament 7.0 on 18 July 2026, plus The Jaipur Cup in pickleball and padel. See Jaipur events.
  • Mumbai: The next Wellness Carnival is Sunday 7 February 2027 at Taj Lands End (event page). See Mumbai events.
  • Hyderabad: Part of the FindYourFit Sports circuit.

The wider picture: India's participation boom

FindYourFit's numbers sit inside a broader surge in organised fitness. The Indian Open 2026 pickleball tournament in Hyderabad, sanctioned by the Indian Pickleball Association as a PWR 1000 event, drew more than 1,500 participants across 56 categories with a USD 50,000 prize pool. The District9 Open, concluded at the start of 2026, reported 325 registered players and a ₹20 lakh prize pool. At the workplace end, a CII–MediBuddy report from July 2025 put the cost of presenteeism and chronic illness at up to ₹1.12 lakh per employee a year and found India's average corporate wellness readiness score at 55 out of 100. For how companies use these formats, see corporate wellness programs in India and our corporate wellness page.

Community fitness sits between these two poles: more social than a gym, less elite than a tournament, and open to people who have never played a racquet sport.

FAQs

How many people attend FindYourFit events?

FindYourFit has curated 70+ events in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Hyderabad, as of October 2026. The Wellness Carnival averages 5,000+ attendees per edition, which makes it the largest single-day format FindYourFit runs, while Sports and Yoga Day draw smaller crowds.

What is FindYourFit's repeat participation rate?

The repeat participation rate is 30% as of October 2026, meaning 30% of participants have attended more than one FindYourFit event. It is measured across participants overall, so it does not describe any single format or city, and it is updated on the facts page when the figure changes.

How long do people stay at a FindYourFit event?

The average time spent per event is four hours, as of October 2026. That is longer than a typical class or workout, because a FindYourFit day combines fitness sessions, workshops, music and a wellness bazaar, and many people stay on after their own session ends.

What is community fitness?

Community fitness is organised movement where the group is part of the point: shared sessions, tournaments, leagues and festivals rather than solo gym time. FindYourFit builds it through The Wellness Carnival, FindYourFit Sports and its International Day of Yoga event, run with DLF Malls.

Which cities does FindYourFit run events in?

FindYourFit runs events in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Hyderabad, as of October 2026. The Wellness Carnival is held in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, and FindYourFit Sports pickleball and padel leagues run across all five cities, with city winners meeting in Delhi.
