Participation patterns
Weekday training leans on central and east locations near offices; weekends shift to neighborhood gyms, parks, and riverside routes.
Hybrid routines mix strength, conditioning, and yoga; recovery days increasingly include meditation, sound baths, and light mobility.
Access and affordability
Budget gyms and free run clubs underpin consistent training for many boroughs.
Off-peak passes, class packs, and trial offers remain common entry points before committing to longer memberships.
Recovery and events
Spa, sauna, and contrast therapy are being layered onto training blocks, especially after long runs and heavy lifting days.
Seasonal events (spring and autumn races) drive surges in run club attendance and demand for mobility and recovery sessions.
