Mehr Bewegung gehört in den USA erneut zu den beliebtesten Neujahrsvorsätzen. Doch während die Daten zeigen, dass es im Januar tendenziell mehr Anmeldungen für Fitnessstudios gibt als in anderen Monaten, zeigen sie auch, dass das Ziel für viele nicht lange danach auf der Strecke bleibt.
Laut Statista-Daten hatten nur 15 Prozent der Erwachsenen in den USA in den 12 Monaten vor der Umfrage für eine Mitgliedschaft im Fitnessstudio bezahlt. Wie viele den Dienst tatsächlich regelmäßig nutzten, ist allerdings eine andere Frage. Die französischen und italienischen Befragten zeigten sich sogar noch weniger begeistert vom Fitnessstudio: Nur acht bzw. 13 Prozent gaben an, in eine Mitgliedschaft im Fitnessstudio investiert zu haben. Im Vergleich dazu war der Gang ins Fitnessstudio in Brasilien und Indien weitaus beliebter.

Are gyms even that common in Brazil and India? About 60% of India lives in rural areas, somehow I doubt that commercial gyms are common sight in rural villages.
This one is going to be completely dependent on the sample size and population. How many were asked, how old, what setting. Younger people in the city are more likely than older people in rural areas for instance. Without a huge and diverse sample size, this is basically worthless.
That’s because they only go to the gym of BBL
Almost surprising it’s that low. I feel like I constantly run into people who are dropping that they go to the gym in as many sentences as they can.
And I belong to a gym. I think it’s a great thing. But shouldn’t be a brag.

Wait, India? Where the median income is around $300 USD? 28% of the population pays for a gym membership? Wow. I understand that it’s all relative but that’s … dedication
Gyms are mainly needed in dense urban areas. In environments less dominated by cars and concrete you can just go outside and run and buy a few weights if needed. It’s been said that capitalism takes away natural things and then sells it back to you as a premium product.
I don’t know how this survey was done, but 28% of Indians paying for a gym membership is an obvious tell that there is not much concern for finding a representative sample.
For comparison, Deloitte’s

Gym oh gym lift that weight to cure such fatassness
Interesting but I’m not buying it. I see next to NO Indians at Planet Fitness and it’s the cheapest place in town. And there is a big Indian population in my city due to various IT-heavy industries. And yet in actual India with lower income, double the percentage go to the gym than Americans? Nope, no way. Sorry, but even AT the gym Indians do calisthenics and are very uneducated about workout culture.
