The rise in home fitness

During lockdown, “the body coach” Joe Wicks achieved a Guinness World Record when his online fitness class on March 24th had an audience of nearly 1 million people. That’s a lot of people jumping around in their living room! It’s also a great example of how people took workouts into their own home during the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns. In addition to the astonishing work of Joe Wicks, there are a number of other statistics that highlight a rise in home gyms during this time.

As Gyms across the UK reopen and clients flood back in, seeking all the benefits a commercial Gym can bring physically, socially and mentally,  it should be the prime opportunity  for gym owners to celebrate. After an extremely difficult 2020 and first half of 2021, the doors are finally open and we can begin to get back to the business of fitness  as normal. However, unfortunately this is not everyone’s experience.
