As passionate market leaders in the field Anax wanted to dig a little deeper into the industry and conducted an industry survey that was completed by 250 commercial and private gym users between the 4th and the 11th of January 2016 asking them a range of questions to do with their individual fitness and training habits

A staggering 60% of participants don’t include any form of weight training within their workouts and the same number only train on average between 2-4 times per week.
