London’s Fitness Fanatics: 69% of Londoners Exercise at Least Once a Week

The capital is now more focused on health than ever before! Leading fitness trainer app TruBe shows that 69% of Londoners at least once a week, with one in five (18%) saying that they exercise everyday.
Results show Londoners between 18 -34 are shown to be the most active age group with 78% exercising at least once a week but this is closely followed with the over 55’s which shows that nearly two thirds (62%) also make an effort to exercise once a week too.

How are they doing this? 26% prefer to exercise outside instead of in a gym where only 8% of exercisers pay more than £60 a month for a gym membership and more thank a 5th (28%) pay for fitness classes. Despite these figures, 88% admit that they don’t go to a gym as much as they would like to due to lack of time and work commitments tend to take priority.

CEO of TruBe Daria Kantor comments “The survey supports our own insight into the lifestyle habits of customers, and the biggest hurdles that stops them from working out. Fitness trends come and go, but the need to want to feel and look good will always be a priority.”

“TruBe is committed in helping active Londoners have the best possible fitness experience, giving them the choice to work out where and when they want, be that at home or in the local park with a trainer who is an expert and can focus on a specific area such as popular workouts as HIIT, Yoga, boxing, ballet, and lifting.”

“We have the best public spaces in the world, so it’s easy to get some headspace and workout. With people being less interested in accumulating material goods and spending more money on experiences, Londoners spending habits are related to long term self-investment rather than short term highs of wild nights out that not only burn a hole in your pocket but affect your long-term health.”
