I was just reading the other day that the health club industry has over the past 20 or so year, continued to grow despite economic downturns ... and that's including three recessions!
The only recent statistics that I can locate for you are here
•U.S. Clubs: 30,022 (as of 1/09)
•U.S. Health Club Members: 45.5 million (as of 1/09)
•Total U.S. Industry Revenues for 2008: $19.1 billion
Source: Survey of International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association members, 2008
There is an article here on the IDEA website that although contains 2007 statistics, might be of interest to you for your project.

You are so welcome!
I do know that the IHRSA regularly conducts industry research on the U.S fitness market so you may want to go directly to their website for additional information http://www.ihrsa.org/research-faqs/
I hope you do get that "A" be sure to include the IDEA & IHRSA in your sources!!! :)
