Germans usually opt for exercising several times a month or several times a week, based on this survey. And plenty never do so or prefer to keep their activities to themselves. In any case, gym and sports club memberships, home workouts, various outdoor activities, swimming, jogging and cycling are just a few examples of the ways in which the German population likes to stay fit and active.
Going for a run?
Among those who recently spent money on fitness and health services, most invested in a gym membership – perhaps one of the more typical choices when considering how to integrate regular physical activity in to a schedule. Indeed, cost is one of the considerations influencing the choice of exercise and whether training takes place independently or not. Perhaps for this reason the number of joggers sometimes going for a run in Germany has grown, though so has the number of those never doing so.Just working out
Exercise trends change with time, of course, but revenue generated by sports facilities in Germany is expected to grow in the 2020s, though slowly. Typically, Germans prefer the following locations for sports or physical activity: at home, in a park or outdoors, on the way between home and school/ work.Number of persons exercising or playing sports in Germany from 2015 to 2018, by frequency (in millions)
