Young adults prefer strength training to cardio, prioritising gym spending

More young adults are choosing gyms for exercise, focusing on weights and machines over traditional cardio like running or cycling. Social media influencers and the quick results of resistance training are helping drive this change, with many valuing the strength gains and social connection. For many 16-34 year olds, gym membership is now a top spending priority, above holidays or eating out.
