(5:29) True or False Changes from 2019
How did the survey results above change from 2019? Overall, there wasn’t too large of a difference. Some of the top changes include:
- (+14%) The phrase “Buy Once, Cry Once,” referencing buying high-quality items upfront, was up the most.
- (+13%) More believe that saving
- (+10%) We see more spend more than $1k to begin their home gym. COVID and higher equipment prices likely have something to do with that.
- (-24%) Less save money by owning a home gym.
- (-25%) Less are sacrificing parking than back in 2019. Moves to basements, having dedicated rooms, and more space-saving options available now are all likely reasons.
- (-12%) There weren’t too many, to begin with, but even fewer are buying all of their equipment from 1 spot.
