Advertisement"As much as we think that our country is obese or unhealthy, there's another whole side who are into their fitness," Taylor said. Taylor told me that strength training now makes up 90% of her routine. Gyms are quickly becoming Gen Z's favorite hangout spot — but there's just one problem with the fitness boom. Chains like Planet Fitness rely on members never showing up; the gyms aren't built for Gen Z. Planet Fitness, the most popular gym franchise in the US, has on average 6,500 members per gym.

Are you interested in strength training, but not sure where to start? Casey Johnston, cultural critic and creator of "LIFTOFF: Couch to Barbell," was once in your shoes. "When I first got into exercise, I thought cardio was sort of the only way," says Johnston, who started "She's a Beast," a fitness newsletter. When Johnston first started lifting in the gym in 2014, she was bench-pressing 20 pounds and squatting with 40; since then, she's squatted 265 pounds, "benched" 142 and deadlifted 300. It's such an incredible moment to go pick up your heavy suitcase, and your suitcase doesn't feel heavy.
