In this episode, we sit down with Mike Goscinski from the Health and Fitness Association to explore the dynamic shifts in the fitness industry. Discover how the 2025 consumer report highlights a significant increase in fitness facility visits, with 96 million Americans contributing $59.6 billion to the US economy. Mike shares insights into the growing engagement of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who now represent 30.8% of fitness members, viewing fitness as an essential part of their lifestyle rather than a luxury.

We delve into the diverse options available for physical activity, which are driving increased participation across all demographics. Mike discusses the association's policy advocacy efforts, including the PHIT Act, which aims to redefine fitness as preventive health. Learn about the exciting opportunities on the horizon, such as the upcoming European Congress in Amsterdam, where global advocacy and industry collaboration will take center stage.

Join us for an enlightening conversation on how the Health and Fitness Association is shaping the future of fitness and what it means for you.
