Online broker TD Ameritrade recently discovered that 59% of Americans say they don’t plan on renewing their gym memberships once the current pandemic is over.

Senior retirement specialist Molly Passantino says “Americans turning to cheaper fitness apps, outdoors activities like runs and walks and buying their own home workout equipment during quarantine likely caused the shift.”
