- Even in this economy, consumers are still – even more than ever – investing in their health and fitness. Here’s an excerpt from Ten Things We’re Still Buying – Forbes.com
Don’t let consumers’ continued thirst for technology have you thinking everyone will be anchored to the couch through the remainder of the recession, however long it lasts. Gyms, considered by some to be an affordable luxury, aren’t completely in the red, as people seem to want to stay healthy in both good and bad times.
In fact, market researchers at St. Louis, Missouri-based firm Stifel Nicolaus say overall gym memberships will increase by 4% in 2009. And a nationwide survey conducted by Princeton, N.J.-based Opinion Research Corporation, and sponsored by gym chain Anytime Fitness, found that over 60% of the 1,090 (gym-going) participants planned on keeping their current membership plan, while another 23% planned on downgrading to a less expensive option.
