Not nitpicking, because I hope you're correct. That said, sales doesn't equal actual sustained usage.

Anecdotal: I run almost every day. Don't get excited, only 2 to 4 miles :) Early in the pandemic I saw plenty of new faces - often couples - out exercising. Some running, mostly walking. I don't see many of those faces any more.

Neither do open gyms. :)

Though post-holiday covid peaks may have slightly altered the long-running wry observations about January in the gym.

In fact, I'd guess most gyms are profitable because of those who pay who but rarely show up.
