wellness survey. More than 1,350 people participated, shedding
light on 2025 goal setting and wellness trends for the New
Year.
Notable findings include:

respondents named using a sauna, while 50% said assisted
stretching, and 42.4% chose ice baths or cryotherapy.
- When asked about GLP-1 drugs, 60.8% believe these
medications have the potential to improve overall health.
- A high percentage (74.7%) plan to prioritize their health in
2025, compared to 62.4% of respondents who focused more on
their health in 2024. A nearly 20% increase!
- 99.3% of respondents confirmed they feel happier
after completing a workout, reinforcing the mental health
benefits of getting your sweat on.
- For the third consecutive year, building muscle is the top
health goal heading into the New Year, followed by eating
better, moving more in general and weight loss.
- Strength training places as the top preferred workout routine,
just ahead of cardio-focused workouts.
"People of all ages are realizing the benefits of strength
training and recovery by making it a priority in their routine,"
said Danny King, Director of
Recovery and Performance at Life Time. "At Life Time, we're
continuing to expand the size of our strength training spaces and
recovery zones on our exercise floors, prioritizing equipment that
fits a variety of body types and doubling down on our digital
content. Our free Life Time Digital app is making it easier
than ever for people to get started with strength training routines
through classes and coaching at their fingertips."
Survey respondents addressed 17 questions about their health,
exercise habits, workouts and other topics:
- When it comes to nutrition, over 65% of respondents reported
they don't follow a specific nutrition philosophy or eat
intuitively.
- 59.5% of respondents take a supplement daily, with
protein powder, multi-vitamins, and vitamin D being the most
popular. Of those who take supplements, more than 60% said they
take at least two to four daily.

prefer guidance from certified professionals, compared to 13%
who rely solely on social media.

workouts, followed by data tracking, nutrition
and meditation.
- More than 80% said they carve out at least several days a week
with time dedicated to self-care and activities that make
