The barrier was never time — it was the story we told ourselves about time.

Consumers may reduce gym memberships or training hours, lowering fitness service expenditures. However, increased demand for high-intensity training programs, specialized coaching, and home fitness equipment could offset losses. Healthcare costs may decrease through preventive health benefits.
Public health agencies may incorporate these findings into exercise guidelines, potentially reducing healthcare burden from sedentary lifestyles. Workplace wellness programs may shift toward shorter, high-intensity training protocols. Insurance companies might incentivize efficient exercise participation.
