Technogym Studies Millennial Fitness Habits

Technogym has commissioned a national study into the health and fitness attitudes of millennials, and how their habits can impact the health and fitness industry.

Despite greater access to fitness tools, the study showed that just 52% of millennials rate their overall level of wellness as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ with participants stating they are often too busy and unable to properly devote the time needed.

The national study titled, ‘The Wellness Deficit – Millennials & Health in America’, shows the health and fitness attitudes and habits of 5,000 Millennials, aged 14 to 34.

With obesity levels on the rise and increased accessibility of choices and information around health and fitness, the study showed that millennials are self-conscious about their own body images.

Nearly 90% of millennials are aware of the obesity epidemic, according to the study, and feel something should be done to address it, with 62% concerned about being or becoming obese in the future. 

Nerio Alessandri, president and founder, Technogym, said: “Closing the wellness deficit must be a priority, not only for individuals but for entities with a stake in the wellness of the next generation, whether this be government, education or business. At Technogym we have focused on providing innovative products and technologies, and emphasising the social aspect of wellness and sport to keep people engaged, and we will continue to evolve our offerings in these areas as consumers’ wellness habits change.”
