MEDIA ALERT New Survey from Nautilus, Inc. Reveals Current Insights into Americans' Feelings About Fitness

The survey finds that people do not consider how they look as the primary driver for exercise

PORTLAND, Ore., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- What: Nautilus, Inc., an innovation leader in home fitness for over 30 years, recently conducted a survey to uncover Americans' attitudes toward fitness.

The survey revealed that people do not consider how they look as the primary driver for exercise:

• The most popular reason for working out is to feel strong and healthy, with more than twice as many people who work out choosing this reason over working out to improve their appearance (41% vs 20%).
• More than half of Americans who work out know they had a good workout when they feel satisfied that they are taking care of themselves (52%), and almost half said it's when their mental state is better afterward (46%), or when they feel focused and clear (37%). Only 15% mentioned it was because "their muscles look pumped."

The survey also revealed where Americans work out and how it affects them:

• 86% of Americans who work out do so at home in some form.
• One in three respondents (34%) said that where they work out helps them feel more centered and focused.
• Only 22% of respondents never feel self-conscious when working out at the gym, fitness studio, or outside.

Americans desire guidance and accountability—even in their home workouts, according to the survey:

• 62% of Americans who work out are more consistent if they have accountability from an app, online coach, workout buddy, or trainer.
• 59% of respondents mentioned they appreciate feedback during a workout.
• 54% of respondents who work out follow the suggestion of their workout apps.

Why: Becky Alseth, Chief Marketing Officer at Nautilus, Inc. says the survey offers two important takeaways:

• Americans are realizing that true fitness is about mental as well as physical well-being, and they believe that exercise positively affects both.
• The survey shows that home fitness is here to stay. Forty-four percent of people surveyed said working out at home would be a better experience with a wider variety of equipment.
