The pandemic has driven older people out of fitness centers. Almost 98% of over-60s visit gyms less often after they reopened last April than they did before the pandemic. Among 50 to 59-year-olds, 78% have become fitness couch potatoes. This is shown by our survey, which we launched by swiss active – IG Fitness Switzerland together with the German University for Prevention and Health Management last June.
Roger Erni, Managing Director of swiss active – IG Fitness Switzerland, was interviewed in connection with this study by Swiss television as part of a Tagesschau report and gave an insight into the upcoming months in the fitness industry.
