2019’s Best & Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle

With “lose weight and exercise more” topping the list of New Year’s resolutions and as many as 92 percent of people failing at keeping their resolutions each year, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2019’s Best & Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle as well as accompanying videos.

To determine where Americans have the best chance of balancing a healthy diet with ample physical activity, WalletHub compared the 100 biggest U.S. cities across 38 key metrics. The dataset ranges from average monthly fitness-club fee to bike score to share of physically inactive adults.
