From the Paper:

"The latest estimates available from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association indicate that there are approximately 30 million adult members of fitness centers in the U.S. - and that this number is likely to grow to nearly 50 million by the year 2010. 1 The leading statistical research organization for the industry, American Sports Data Membership at health clubs jumped from 20.7 million in 1990 to 30.6 million in 1999, an increase of 48%. Even more ironically, the number of people who worked out frequently at clubs (100+ days) per year, soared by 84% during the same period. This was just one paradox found in a Tracking Study of Physical Fitness Behavior in the U.S. (1987 - 1999) released in July 2000 by ASD. 2"
