A recent study reveals that 11.5 million people in the UK, aged 16 and over, now hold gym memberships, marking a 16% increase from 2022. This surge in gym-goers is driven by the health-conscious Gen Z, who prefer socialising while working out rather than drinking at pubs. As the fitness trend continues to grow, UKActive reports that gym membership has reached its highest level ever, with a significant rise in young adults prioritising exercise and wellness over traditional social activities, highlighting the importance of fitness and health in modern lifestyles, including popular trends like group fitness classes and personal training.
