“…The prioritization of body fitness among FC attendees is significantly influenced by social media exposure, necessitating an examination of whether FCs should underscore these motivational factors in their advertising and promotional activities [52]. Historically, the FC industry has predominantly marketed fitness-setting-based exercises, emphasizing outcomes such as physical fitness, body composition, and weight loss [7,53,54]. However, there has been a recent shift in FCs' focus, with a growing trend towards promoting exercise services that enhance positive body image and health-related outcomes, as opposed to purely aesthetic appearances [55].…”

“…Gender disparity existed among the participants since the overwhelming majority of the included participants were male. In fact, men self-reported with the higher rate of fitness exercise participation in Vietnam [7]. This imbalance might have influenced the results, failinig to fully represent the motivantion of female fitness center members [72].…”

“…According to the 2020 report by the Global Health and Fitness Association, 2.36% of the worldwide population are FC members [6]. In urban Vietnam, 28% of males and 21% of females report participation in FC activities [7]. Engaging in sustained exercise within an FC setting is posited as a strategy to counteract sedentary lifestyle consequences [8].…”

This study aimed to explore the components of Exercise Maintenance Motivation (EMM) and identify its consensus and distinguishing aspects among members of fitness centers (FCs) in Vietnam. The study incorporated both qualitative and Q-sorting methodologies across two stages. The first stage involved conducting ten in-depth and four focus-group interviews with 39 members of six different FCs in Vietnam, resulting in the generation of 40 EMM statements. In the second stage, these statements were subjected to Q-sorting by 39 participants. The KADE application for the Q method was used for data analysis, and Principal Component Analysis was employed to determine the optimal number of factors. The analysis yielded four factors, encompassing 34 statements and accounting for 86% of the variance in EMM components among participants. These components, labeled “F1. Exercise achievements”, “F2. Exercise environments”, “F3. Exercise enjoyment”, and “F4. Workout-aholic”, achieved consensus among 17 (37%), 14 (30%), 5 (12%), and 3 (7%) participants, respectively. The leading motivational expressions were “get to be healthier”, “a better-looking appearance”, and “get a fit body appearance”. These were followed by FC-based supportive exercise conditions, positive feelings, and exercise addiction. There were five consensus statements that spanned all four factors. The numbers of distinguishing statements varied across factors, with F1, F3, and F4 each contributing 11 (28.2%) and F2 contributing 15 (38.5%). This study contributed to the four central drivers of EMM. To facilitate the development of a comprehensive EMM scale, future research should incorporate larger samples, allowing for a dissection of motivational paradigms.

“…Insufficient physical exercise among Vietnamese adults is a growing public health concern due to its potential negative impacts on health outcomes [3][4][5]. In the context of the emerging fitness industry, exercising in fitness settings could play a pivotal role in shaping the physical activity habits of the Vietnamese [6][7][8]. Previous research has revealed that a substantial percentage, ranging from 40% to 65%, of individuals who commence exercising drop out within the first year of enrolling in fitness programs, irrespective of whether they are guided or self-directed, and this trend holds across age and gender [9][10][11].…”

This mixed-methods study aimed to develop and validate the exercise maintenance motivation (EMM) scale, designed to assess the motivation for maintaining exercise among fitness center (FC) members in Vietnam. The two-phase study was conducted to outline the development process of the EMM-FC scale, which is grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). In the first qualitative phase, ten in-depth interviews and four focus groups (n = 39) were performed, identifying five components of EMM through content analysis. Following this, the scale’s content and face validity were assessed through a connecting step and pre-testing, which led to the elimination of 20 items, resulting in 40 statements. In the second phase, a cross-sectional survey (n = 280) was conducted to assess the factorial structure of the EMM-FC scale with Exploratory Factor Analysis. Findings yielded five construct dimensions with satisfactory psychometric indicators, including convergent validity, discriminant validity, and internal consistency reliability of the EMM-FC scale. The 30-item EMM-FC scale covered five SDT-driven constructs, comprising of “Exercise achievements”, “Exercise environments”, “Exercise integration with life goals”, “Exercise enjoyment”, and “Workout-aholic”, explaining 61.3% of the variance. The scores of five constructs were positively correlated with the total scores of the scale and notably distinguished between exercise maintainers and non-exercise maintainers. Further research is required to thoroughly assess the scale’s robust psychometric properties to be applied in future practical research for exercise maintenance.
