Gym participation in Europe

The chart illustrates the percentages for European individuals belonging to various age brackets who were active gym members over a period of 20 years starting from 1990.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that those going to the gym at least once monthly in all age groups in question witnessed upward trends, with the two younger age groups increasing most dramatically. Moreover, younger individuals are more likely to go to the gym throughout the period. 

In 1990, the figure for individuals going to the gym once a month or more from the age of 25 to 34 was most significant at exactly 10%, followed closely by the 18 to 24 age group, accounting for around 9%. Both age cohorts had experienced steep increasing trajectories and converged at slightly under 30% by 1998. After this point, the 18 to 24 age category surged and surpassed those from 25 to 34 to reach a peak of approximately 58% before dipping slightly to 50% and fully recovering to 58% in 2012. In contrast, the demographic for those actively going to gyms monthly aged from 25 to 34 underwent a more steady growth to end the period at precisely 50%.

The percentage of active gym members in the oldest age group surveyed constituted merely 4% attendance in 1990, which was around 2% lower than those from 35 to 44. By 2006, both statistics had grown, with the latter rising more considerably to 21% and the former less substantially to 10%. Over the last four years of the survey, both age ranges similarly soared, with the 45 and over group’s figure achieving about 21% attendance and those 35-44 representing a significantly higher percentage at 40%.
