The most popular time to work out in each state of United States of America (USA) is 6:00pm. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the most popular days across the country for Americans to work out.

 Nebraskans prefer a morning workout. Most Americans do not get enough physical activity because they do not have enough time to go to the gym.

Fitness experts FitnessVolt.com have analyzed Google search data for each state in the USA to reveal the most popular times that people workout.  The analysis shows that overall, the busiest time in an American gym is 6pm on Tuesday.   

According to the data, Tuesday is the most popular day to work out at the gym, with 20 states deciding it is the best time to hit the treadmill. Mid-week is a popular time, with 16 states choosing to work out on Wednesdays. The most popular time of day is after work, with the majority of states heading to the gym between 5:00pm and 6:00pm.  The start of the week is less popular, with only 11 states working out on Mondays.        

Only three states chose the end of the week as their preferred work out day, with Nebraska standing out as the only state where people prefer to go to the gym before lunch.  On average, people spend up to an hour working out each time they visit the gym, which is enough to meet the guidelines set by the CDC in 2018, if they go regularly.

The recommendations say that adults should get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise.

A spokesperson for FitnessVolt.com had this to say: 

“Finding a routine that works for you and fits around your schedule is the first step to a healthy lifestyle. Heading to the gym after work helps to regulate the stresses of the day.  With this data, we could see more people choosing quieter times to go the gym helping more adults to meet the CDC guidelines and exceeding the 2020 total of 24%.”
