In-Gym Hydration Study
A recent study indicates that nearly half of all exercisers are dehydrated before starting their workouts.1 Some other key findings from this study include:
- Nearly half of all exercisers studied admit it’s a struggle to drink enough during the day.
- Exercisers tend to replenish only about 50% of the fluids they lose during a workout when they drink plain water.2
- Of the total number of exercisers that were dehydrated, more than 90 percent work out three or more times a week.
The Importance of Hydration
A study was conducted in gyms in Chicago and Los Angeles to learn more about exercisers’ hydration habits and their implications. To find out more, read a summary of the results. Also check out the Professional’s Library for more information on hydration and tools to share with your clients.
