The chart illustrates the number of males and females registering for fitness centers in Thailand over a period of 40 years starting from 1985.
It is clear that while the number of female fitness members increased, the opposite was true for that of male ones over the period shown. Also, the year 2010 witnessed the largest membership. As can be seen from the chart, in 1985, the male fitness membership was approximately 2200, compared with 1300 female members. Over the following 5 years, the number of male members, at nearly 3800, was twice as much as that of female ones. By 2000, the male membership had decreased to about 1800 members, whereas that of females had increased to 2800 members.
Between 2005 and 2010, there was a significant increase in the number of males and females applying for membership of gym clubs to reach a peak of 2950 and 5000 members respectively. In 2015, the figure for females, with 2000 members, was twice as many as the male figure, with 1000 members.
