Below, we’ve handpicked the key insights analyzed in the full report and summarized the core topics.
Inflation is impacting how people exercise, but not so much the level of exercise. There is less willingness to spend on expensive gym memberships, smart exercise machines or elaborate home gym setups at the current moment, so exercise that can be done for free or at a low cost is priotized. Meanwhile, health priorities, like nutrition, better sleep or boosting immunity also present opportunities for the exercise space.
Physical and mental benefits
A majority of exercisers stay active to manage weight, rev up energy or gain strength. But mental health benefits like stress reduction and mood-boosting are increasingly cited as motivators. A growing number of consumers are interested in mental wellness exercises such as yoga and meditation.
The desire for personalized fitness
A majority of US consumers are interested in personalized exercise routines based on their unique biometrics. Recommendations can include type and length of workout, level of difficulty or number of reps. AI will play a major role in curated health as AI-powered apps, wearables and equipment emerge on the fitness front.

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
From consumer reports to customised growth strategies. We have an option to suit your business requirements.
