Fitness Business in 2023: Exploring the IHRSA 2023 Global Report.
The fitness industry is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from the traditional perception of gyms solely for achieving aesthetic goals like shredded abs and weight loss. Instead, there is a growing recognition that the industry plays a crucial role in addressing pressing issues such as the mental health crisis, the obesity epidemic, and healthcare system challenges in North America. This shift in perspective emphasizes that health clubs are now viewed as destinations for preventive healthcare.
Despite this evolving focus, the fitness industry faced substantial challenges during the pandemic. In this episode of "All Things Fitness and Wellness," we engage in a conversation with CEO and President of IHRSA, Liz Clark, and Market Research Advisor to IHRSA, Melissa Rodriguez. They provide insights and commentary based on the 2023 IHRSA Global Report, which draws data from 15 federations within the industry.
Together, we explore emerging trends, the economic impact, and the future trajectory of the fitness industry, shedding light on its current state and its potential role in addressing critical health issues.
