WHY MORE PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING
HEALTH OVER HANGOVERS
BY CHRIS RABBA
The way we approach health and socialising is changing, with two
major lifestyle trends shaping a new genera琀椀on: Gen Gym and the
Sober Curious movement. Both are about priori琀椀sing wellbeing, making
conscious choices, and challenging long-held norms—whether it’s how we
exercise, socialise, or consume alcohol.
So, what’s driving these movements? And what are the latest trends in
Australia and around the world?
Gen Gym: Where Fitness Meets Lifestyle
Gen Gym isn’t just about hi琀�ng the weights—it’s a mindset. Younger
genera琀椀ons, especially Gen Z, are embracing 昀椀tness as a core part of their
lifestyle, not just something they do to ‘get in shape’. Exercise is now about
mental health, energy, and overall wellbeing.
