Perception of quality and adoption of health-preventive measures in gym-goers after the COVID-19 pandemic peak in Italy
Italian gym-goers generally perceived the quality of the gyms positively, with safety and cleanliness impacting their satisfaction and the adoption of health-preventive behaviours. Sociodemographic factors significantly influence these perceptions and behaviours, highlighting the need for safer, health-focused fitness facilities to promote physical activity, public health, and sustainable fitness habits and emphasising the need to understand user preferences for enhanced customer satisfaction, loyalty, and well-being through tailored management strategies and preventive measures.
