Overall, all age ranges followed an upward trend in the percentage of gym goers. 18-24 age brackets experienced a significant increase throughout the period. Notably, 25-34 age groups led the chart in initial years which was surpassed by young categories by the end of span. However, the oldest age bracket consistently recorded the lowest participation rates even though they showed a steady rise across the period as the disparity between the age groups broadened over the period.
