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 generation: Gen Gym and the Sober
Curious movement. Both are about prioritising
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 hitting the weights—
it’s a mindset. Younger generations, 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.
