Running
Running had nearly two decades worth of being the hit trend, but today it is dying out pretty surely. In 2013 there was an all-time high of 19 million runners taking part in competitive races, but in 2015 there was a noticeable decline in numbers that has continued since then. Why has the trend suddenly reversed?
Running
Well, there are a few reasons really. Millennials seem to be choosing much more non-competitive fitness activities than the baby-boomer generation, focusing on getting their core strong and good alignment through yoga practice more than they are on winning races. There are also countless boutique-style studios everywhere nowadays which offer more of a variety of fitness options and personalized services which seem to be more hype than just grabbing a pair of running shoes and going it alone.
Golf
Participation in the long preferred pastime of the rich and powerful have been seen to decrease across the board in the US. New studies have shown that millennials are just not connecting with Golf, and golf-related sales have gone down by millions of dollars, giving the industry concerns as to what the future may hold.
Golf
It isn’t difficult to get why millennials are not stepping up to the tee. First off, golf is quite an expensive sport to play with all the equipment one needs just to play, as well as the extortionate club memberships most golf-courses require. Then, there is the well-documented issue of golf being a good old boys club sport, where a sexist attitude towards women is no secret. All these are reasons why a whole generation has just said “Thanks, but we’re good…” to golf.
