What Australian young adults with disability are prepared and willing to pay to exercise in a gym: An online survey and discrete choice experiment RA Kennedy (14459322) Utsana Tonmukayakul (13098717) N Shields (13350504) Economics Applied economics Science & Technology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Sport Sciences Community gyms Fees Access Inclusion Physical activity An online survey and discrete choice experiment determined prepared budget and willingness-to-pay for gym access among young adults with disability. Young adults were prepared to pay $20/week (median) to access a gym. Mixed logit model fit statistics determined willingness-to-pay for four entry options. Bootstrapped willingness-to-pay and contemporary (‘market reality’) gym fee data provided estimates for these options: $9/session casual entry to gym, $14.23/session casual entry to gym plus other facilities, $18.65/week for unlimited gym entry (membership) and $23.57/week for unlimited entry to gym plus other facilities. Findings suggested “value-added” memberships are likely unaffordable for young adults with disability. 2026-12-01T00:00:00Z Text Journal contribution 10.26187/deakin.34020465 https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/What_Australian_young_adults_with_disability_are_prepared_and_willing_to_pay_to_exercise_in_a_gym_An_online_survey_and_discrete_choice_experiment/34020465 CC BY 4.0
