Does GLP-1 Huge Success Mean Big Losses for Fitness Business?

[Anonymous]

If I had to guess, here are the winners and losers in terms of where people spend there money

Winners:
Protein supplement products
Gyms and workout gear
Outdoor recreation gear
Clothing
Beauty products

Losers:
Alcohol
Restaurants
Snacks and junk food
General groceries as people eat less
Diet-based weight loss industry (because people need less help eating well)

This is based on my own activity. Since losing 15% of my body weight, I workout tons more, eat out less, snack less, am willing to spend more money on quality fashion pieces and beauty products as I feel better about myself

Restaurant business will be fine if they serve smaller portions, which would be great for the environment anyway.

I would love for restaurant burgers to go back to the size of the McDonalds hamburgers (i.e., 1/10 of a pound).

I don't even order restaurant burgers because I can't fit my mouth around them. A 1/2 lb burger, plus lots of toppings and a bun just makes a mess everywhere.

this was reported on recently.

Restaurants are taking a hit and we might see restaurants responding with lower portion foods that cost a bit less.

Chipotle, etc are taking a hit.

Groceries stores... yea, I didn't see this coming, but less food. IDK, for my family my boys are still eating a ton (they are underweight for their height).

I am doing more quality workouts like Pickleball, hiking, yoga. the gym classes might take a hit.

Clothes.. oh wow, I have gone down 1 size but my friends have gone down 2 or 3 so definitly need new clothes.

But it's not the obese people who are the gym rats! It is usually people who are already fit and who want to maintain or workout a lot because it feels good to them.

Doubtful, most don’t work out to lose weight. It doesn’t work, only calorie reduction does. Most work out to improve fitness, health, appearance.

I would love to see this happen. Our serving sizes in this country are ginormous. I don't want to pay a ton for food that I am not going to eat.

Shake Shack just came out with lettuce wraps so the businesses are trying to adjust. I think fast food is probably taking the hardest hit.

I specifically order food that will still be decent reheated so I can take the other half home. It’s shocking going to Asia and seeing the small food portions in comparison to the US. We really are set up to fail.

up until now some of them do go and stuck in the go/quit cycle every year. with the med no need to go and no cycle either. just don't know how big/small that market matters to gyms.

Some of them are going, it is true, but I think lot of obese people are not going to the gym due to lack of confidence, but once they are in the normal weight range they will feel more confident going to the gym, joining fitness classes, etc to get toned and fit.

As someone pointed out, going to the gym alone doesn't help anyone lose significant amounts of weight. I think many feel discouraged when they work out a lot but don't see results because they still can't get their eating under control. Eating right is the most important factor. Going to the gym is more about helping you build muscle and endurance and looking good once you are already in a good weight range.

I agree with you except for the last. Prepared meals and meal delivery services are in demand that meet the nutrition and convenience needs of this growing market. We have used two local delivered meal programs tailored for GLP-1.
