Fitness industry in Latin America – statistics & facts
Technology has allowed people to have the world at their fingertips, however having access to it without the need to move has come with a price, namely a more sedentary lifestyle. The physical activity that was a natural part of daily life in the past is now something that individuals are willing to invest additional time and money in.
