While a typical workout only takes 47 minutes, on average, gym goer’s pre- and post-workout routine takes nearly four hours, according to a recent study. Conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by Dymatize, the survey of 2,000 American adults who regularly work out investigated exercise routines by the numbers as well as predictions and trends to look out for in 2025. Results found that exercisers are investing quite a bit of time outside of the gym, spending 101 minutes on pre-workout prep and 133 minutes recovering, on average. The study broke down a day in the life of morning and evening gym goers as well as essentials for a good workout.
