Young people in the UK: tell us about your gym habits

Record numbers of Britons are going to the gym, according to a report by UKActive. 11.5 million people aged 16 and over now belong to a gym in the UK – a rise of 1.6 million from 2022.

This growth is particularly evident among generation Z – people born between 1997 and 2012.

With this in mind, we’d like to hear from younger people in the UK about why they go to the gym. Do you go to socialise, as well as simply to exercise? Do you go to the gym instead of going out, or do you do both?
