Across the UK\u00a0and US,\u00a0young people\u2019s relationship with fitness is changing fast and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0reshaping what they expect from the places and people who support their wellbeing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>National gym membership continues to rise, but\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0especially striking is how these behaviours are filtering down the age groups.\u00a0Nearly a\u00a0quarter of young adults in the US now hold a gym membership, and teens aged 13\u201316 are close behind. Even\u00a0tweens\u00a0(children aged 10-12)\u00a0are expressing interest and crucially, this interest is being encouraged by parents who see early engagement as a way of building lifelong healthy habits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beanobrain.com\/\">Beano Brain<\/a>,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0been tracking this shift closely. What\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0seeing is clear: children and young people\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0being dragged into fitness &#8211;\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0choosing it. And\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0motivating them goes far deeper than physical health.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>The Motivations Behind the Movement<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Social Connection<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For many young people, gyms feel more social, less\u00a0formal\u00a0and less intimidating than traditional sports. They offer low-pressure interaction with peers\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0a space to talk, laugh, copy each other\u2019s routines, and feel part of something shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As one teen told us: \u201cMe and Amelia got a gym pass for the one near us\u2026 we only did the cardio machines, but it was fun going together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unlike competitive sports, gym spaces give kids autonomy. They can choose\u00a0what\u00a0they do, set their own pace and be around others without the expectation of being \u201cgood\u201d at a specific skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Emotional Wellbeing<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Young people are more aware of their mental health than any generation before them. Exercise is increasingly seen as a mood booster, stress\u00a0reliever\u00a0and way to regain control. Self-expression, energy\u00a0release\u00a0and resilience are as important as fitness outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Family Bonding<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re\u00a0also seeing fitness redefined as a family activity. Parents\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0just chauffeuring &#8211;\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0joining in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One 12-year-old explained: \u201cI\u2019m going to the gym with my mum and sister and I\u2019m back at rugby training &#8211; running at people is my superpower!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As well as in-person facilities, family fitness events, community gyms, fun\u00a0races\u00a0and tailored competitions for young people are all examples showing how families are reframing\u00a0exercise as quality time, not obligation. In our insight work, parents describe the gym as a place where they can be \u201cproductive together\u201d &#8211; a rare sentiment in overstretched households.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Culture, Aesthetics &#038; Identity<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gym culture is becoming aspirational. Athleisure is \u201ccool,\u201d influencers model\u00a0every day, achievable fitness, and aesthetic motivation has become part of youth identity formation,\u00a0especially for girls. Fitness is not a chore &#8211;\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>What Trends Will Shape 2026?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, we expect three major shifts:<\/p>\n<p><b>More \u201cThird Spaces\u201d for Families<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Gyms will keep evolving beyond equipment: coffee shops, spa corners, reading nooks and social seating areas. Gyms will become the new community hubs as young people\u00a0seek\u00a0safe, structured places to spend time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fitness as Identity<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Expect more teens adopting fitness \u201cpersonas\u201d &#8211; the runner, the lifter (even if\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0not lifting yet), the yogi, the\u00a0Hyrox\u00a0hopeful. Fitness becomes a badge of belonging.<\/p>\n<p><b>Growth of Accessible Events<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We expect fitness events, play-ground style obstacle\u00a0challenges\u00a0and open outdoor gyms to rise,\u00a0offering family-friendly alternatives to traditional competitive sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>What this means for members<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For leisure operators, gyms and community fitness providers, this growing engagement from children and teens\u00a0represents\u00a0a real opportunity.\u00a0Young people are looking for spaces that feel welcoming,\u00a0social\u00a0and supportive rather than intimidating or overly performance driven. Creating family friendly entry points, offering youth specific\u00a0sessions\u00a0and designing spaces that encourage connection can help meet these needs.\u00a0Gyms that combine fitness with fun, comfort and community will be particularly well positioned.\u00a0There is also an opportunity to harness the power of challenges and events, which young people already see as motivating and exciting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Above all,\u00a0the\u00a0shift toward younger gym engagement shows that kids and teens are eager to build healthy habits when the environment feels inclusive and the experience feels culturally relevant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The spaces that succeed will be those that recognise this shift and design experiences with young people in mind &#8211; not just for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Beano Brain\u00a0<\/i><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/news\/we-want-to-be-more-active-children-and-young-people-reveal-motivations-to-move-as-screen-time-explodes-from-11-to-14\/\"><b><i>conducted research for\u00a0ukactive\u00a0in 2024 to help understand the youth voice<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.
