I constantly see this 50% dropout from structured exercise referenced in any gym or exercise based study either from the original or secondhand references that make the findings look newer on screening. However when actually trying to find the data it seems that it is held commercially by groups focused on the profitability of gyms rather than the health benefits. Anyone have better luck?
why do you want to know this, when I drop my gym membership I just run the streets, so unless you are a manager trying to run a business and make money, it doesn't reflect in any way shape or form whether or not people are exercising. I prefer to run outside any day compared to going to a gym, except today where I have no energy, however if you are a manager I do see why you require these statistics
As the question says I am interested from a health perspective. I am trying to find out what kind of data exists on a range of gym exercise behaviours and hope to find attendance rates also. Not everyone who drops their membership does so to do another form of exercise and most people end up taking long gaps between trying to rejoin so no it won't let me know how many people are exercising, just like sport attendance and active transport use doesn't reflect the full exercise levels either but they are still measured because they add information that can be used to highlight areas of intervention.
