According to research carried out by ROK, an experience center and store specializing in sports equipment, the habit that 60.5% of those surveyed prefer is to exercise.

However, only 40% think that they do enough physical activity. The main reasons for them to exercise would be for good physical health and a strong immune system. In addition, a preference was revealed for carrying out activities in the open air rather than in closed environments.

What is surprising is that issues such as citizen insecurity, traffic, lack of available schedules, and economic cost are those that tip the scales in favor of indoor and exercise at home.

Also for saving time and money, young people and sedentary people would prefer to train at home.

Although people would prefer to join a gym (43%), exercising at home would be chosen by sedentary people, young people between 18 and 25 years of age.

They consider acquiring, mainly, personal training equipment such as mini-gyms or functional machines (34%), treadmills (30%), stationary bikes (25%) and elliptical trainers (9%).

It is worth mentioning that in Peru, ROK is the exclusive representative of iFIT, the number 1 company in the fitness industry in the United States, which sells sports equipment from the Pro-Form, NordicTrack, Weider and Weslo brands (among others). This company has developed an application called iFIT, which can be downloaded and synchronized with the gym machines.
