Over 50: The Fastest Growing Demographic in Fitness

Recent national statistics report that the fastest growing demographic for health clubs/fitness centers is older adults.

With the increase in national promotion and a growing awareness of the benefits of strength training, the value of a proven results-oriented program, specifically targeting the older adult market is enormous. Across the US, adults over the age of 55 make up more than 23% of the population according to the 2006 Census Data Estimations. See charts below.

These numbers are projected to grow geometrically by the end of the decade. For example the 65-84 years age range is projected to grow approximately 30% by 2010 and 50% by 2020. The over 85 population is projected to grow by even greater magnitudes with a 50% increase projected by 2010 and a 100% increase by 2020. Our statistics speak for themselves: virtually 100% of STRIVE members have improved in one or more aspect of wellness after joining our program!
