Multi-Unit Housing Fitness Spaces

The rising demand for wellness spaces is not a passing trend but a significant shift in consumer priorities. Over 50% of homeowners and single-family renters emphasize the importance of health and wellness, while 53% of renters say they exclusively use their property’s fitness center.* This underscores the urgent need for developers and property managers to adapt to these evolving consumer demands.  

70% of renters are interested in or wouldn’t rent without a fitness center.*

With that said, modern residents tend to view health and wellbeing holistically, meaning it’s about much more than staying in shape. Today’s residents consider the social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being in addition to the physical.  

73% of residents say their health will be a deciding factor when choosing their next home.*
