Cost and Fear of Judgement Are Biggest Barriers to Getting Active

A survey of 2,000 adults found class fees, equipment costs and fear of judgment were the main barriers to exercise, KP Snacks said.

  • A new OnePoll survey of 2,000 adults commissioned by Snacks reveals that financial constraints and fear of judgment are primary barriers preventing Britons from exercising regularly.
  • Class fees , equipment costs , and travel expenses discourage many from moving more; a further 27% cite lack of motivation as their main struggle.
  • Nearly 69% of those in urban areas want to be more active compared to 62% in rural towns; 56% admit to never using a cricket bat, while 31% feel the sport is inaccessible.
  • Vicky Pattison is backing the launch of the Snacks Everyone In Fund, which will invest £750,000 over three years to support the ECB's Cricket Cities programme.
  • Providing free sessions , equipment , and flexible timings would encourage participation; notably, 30% of respondents expressed interest in cricket if offered locally.
