I beg to differ. Every time I visit the gym, it’s rammed. And gym goers in Streatham don’t appear to be the only ones looking after themselves and spending money on their wellbeing. Guernsey based vitamin and supplement supplier, Healthy Direct have just announced an online record for January, with their sales up 12% on this time last year. It would appear that their 1million+ customers place their health and wellbeing higher than ever before on their list of priorities.

This downturn has tested whether or not focus on health and wellbeing is a fad or ingrained in our culture. It would appear from these results that maybe the latter may be true.

I’m off to “think” about going to the gym
