"I'd argue our collective relationship to at-home fitness is less frenetic, and certainly less desperate. It's now an option. Something you can turn to when you're short on time, when you need something quick and reliable. (In a recent appearance on 60 Minutes, longevity expert Peter Attia emphasized the importance of even finding 15 minutes, a few times a week, to pencil in a bit of strength training.) You don't need much to that end, but you need something."
"During the pandemic, everybody started buying connected fitness machines - transforming their garages into home gyms and spawning a variety of Peloton-style offshoots (MIRROR, Hydrow, Tonal, FightCamp). Trainees snatched up conventional weights, too; at one point there was even a " dumbbell shortage." But when health studios reopened, a robust secondary market emerged online, as people scrambled to sell off their equipment (both the computer-powered gadgets and the cast-iron stuff) and reestablish a routine outside of their homes."
During the pandemic many people bought connected fitness machines and conventional weights, transforming garages into home gyms and causing a dumbbell shortage. When health studios reopened a robust secondary market emerged online as people sold equipment and reestablished routines outside their homes. Social isolation strengthened demand for gyms and classes as a third place. Years later at-home fitness has become less frantic and more optional, serving as a convenient, reliable choice for short workouts. Even 15 minutes of strength training a few times weekly offers benefit. Adjustable dumbbells like the BowFlex 552 SelectTech deliver versatility with a dial system spanning 5 to 52.5 pounds.
