The Physical Effects of the Disparities Among Toronto’s Primary Fitness Facilities on Lower Socioeconomic Groups

Hannah Levitsky

Biography

My name is Hannah Levitsky, and I am part of the Professional Communications graduating class of 2023 at Toronto Metropolitan University. I am passionate about health and fitness and all forms of equality. I have applied my passion into my research, and am excited to be able to share the project I have been working on over the past few months.

Research Summary

My research investigates the physical effects of the disparities among Toronto’s primary fitness facilities on lower socioeconomic groups. I conduct qualitative, observational research to analyze the varying experiences at four different tiers of Toronto fitness facilities. With the addition of quantitative research to analyze the median household after-tax income data of each Toronto facility location, I find conclusions to support my hypothesis that fitness facilities are an attributable factor to physical inactivity in areas of lower socioeconomic conditions.
