Gym membership interest falls in wake of weight-loss medications
Gym-first weight loss approaches dipping in popularity given the popularity of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
As 2025 ushers in a new era of weight loss resolutions, many Americans are abandoning traditional gym-first approaches in favor of pharmaceutical solutions like Ozempic and Wegovy.
A new survey by Sanctuary Wellness Institute reveals that four in five Americans are planning to try to lose weight this year.
More than half hope weight loss solutions like those drugs will become more accessible.
Google searches for Ozempic have increased over the last three years, and 61% believe its popularity is helping destigmatize weight loss medications.
While some are still pursuing traditional methods, nearly one in six plan to use weight loss drugs in 2025.
