Sport England chief executive Jennie Price said: "These figures are really encouraging, especially the substantial increase in the number of women playing sport and being active every week"
"Our This Girl Can campaign set out to tackle the gender gap, so to reduce it significantly in just two years shows we are making a difference."
Sport England said going to the gym was "hugely popular" with 7.10 million going weekly, an increase of 286,400.
It added: "Exercise classes, like spinning, pilates and boxercise continue to attract large numbers of people, especially women."

The increase of women playing sport has caused improved participation figures, according the results in the latest survey by Sport England. Following the usual trend, the number of women playing sport and being active is increasing faster than men.
"It's good news that more women are playing sport, and driving an overall increase in the numbers," said Jennie Price, Sport England's chief executive.
"It's particularly great to see This Girl Can is making a real difference. That's because we've really focused on what drives women's attitudes and behaviours."
"7.01 million females aged 16 years or over (31.2%) played sport once a week, an increase of 703,800 since 2005/06."

Sport England's Active People Survey measured the improvement of women taking part in sport between October 2005 and April 2014, the gender gap between male and female in sport still remains and there is a concern that is growing about the level of young females taking part in sport.
'40.9% of men play sport once a week compared to 30.3% of women'
590,00 more women are playing sport per week in 2013-14 in comparison with 2005 when London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, at the age of 18 twice as many women to men don't take part in sport at all each month. 16-25 year olds are registered no growth in taking part in sport for several years, this is one of the few groups to show growth in participation in sport, however there was seen to be a small growth in participation in October 2013. Another analysis showed women's participation was significantly lower in lower socio-economic groups as23% of women took part in sport regularly, whereas higher socio-economic 35% of women participating in sport regularly. Overall participation rates are higher than for older women, 49% from the higher socio-economic groups take part in sport at least once a week compared to 36% from the lower socio-economic groups. It doesn't just affect the sports sector of women not participating in sport, but has shown that inactivity represents £8.2 billion direct and indirect expenses to the NHS. Then for women individually, they miss out on the positive health and well-being benefits that an active
The inactivity of women is not down to the lack of interest. 12 million women are wanting to play more sport and over half of these women were 'inactive' . It was said 745% of 15 year of girls would like to be more active. British cycling said 64% of people said they would take up cycling if it was more safer.
Research done by the WSFF showed that girls participation drops off before the transition into secondary school. 38% of 7 year old girls were achieving the recommended physical activity, whereas 63% of seven year old boys were achieving the recommended amount of exercise. According to the research girls activity declines between years 4 and 5 at primary school, with the decrease more in year 8 and 9. Its not the same for boys, by the age girls are 14 only 8%a are meeting the recommended activity levels of an hour a day. This has fallen since 2008 when 12% of girls met the level compared to the 32% of boys. By the time girls turn 16 less than a quarter of girls in comparison to 37% of boys, play sport 3 times a week. By the time they are 18, 65.6% of men play sport at least once a week compared to the 41% of women.
Overview
Lots of statistics found for each sport giving a very accurate picture of the female participation levels. However not enough research into male participation to give a good comparison which gives an obvious difference.
