Twenty-Five percent of Americans will never be returning to gyms even once the pandemic is over, according to new research. A survey of 2,000 Americans who exercise at least twice a week surveyed respondents on their attitudes toward gyms in the "corona age" and found 24 percent are over them, with one in three saying they will be likely to go less than before.
However, four in 10 remain undeterred by COVID-19 and said they will be returning to the gym at the same rate or more once it opens back up.
The study, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of LIFEAID Beverage Co., also found many active Americans are turning to at-home workouts. Forty-two percent of those polled said they have a home gym set-up that they prefer over their membership gym. Todd Turner started Team GUTS in Ferndale, a non-profit housed in an 11,000-square-foot facility dedicated to offering fitness classes, strength training and sports camps for children and adults with disabilities. He joined me this week to discuss the reopening of fitness facilities and gyms across the state of Michigan. To learn about Team Guts you can visit https://www.grounduptraining.com/teamguts
