During a 2019 survey in the United Kingdom, respondents were asked how much they agreed with a statement relating to the preferential use of virtual reality (VR) to participate in personal fitness training at home rather than having personal training sessions in person at the gym. This statistic presents the responses to this survey question categorised by the age of the respondent. Within each age group, the largest share of respondents disagreed with the sentiment that they would prefer to use VR for personal training at home. There was a strong age-dependency on the acceptance of VR technology, with 20 percent of respondents aged 25 to 34 agreeing that they would rather have a personal training session at my own home through VR than have personal training sessions in person at the gym, compared to only six percent of respondents aged 65 and over.
