The article discusses the surge in gym memberships among Gen Z, noting its rise since 2020. While this trend could signal a health-conscious generation, the author expresses concern that this obsession with fitness may be rooted in negative feelings like self-esteem issues and societal pressures, often exacerbated by social media influence. The shift from pubs to gyms may not be entirely positive, suggesting a complex relationship with health and appearance that appears more atomized than genuinely health-focused.
"The rise of gym memberships among Gen Z is astonishing, with a doubling since 2020; yet, this obsession may reflect deeper societal issues beyond personal health."
"While exercise promotes health, the allure of the gym risks reflecting self-esteem issues and societal pressures, rather than a purely health-driven desire for fitness."
