38 million Americans by the end of 2003 were members of health clubs.
If each member worked out only 37 days/yr, less than 1x/week, for one hour, this would equal 1,406,000,000 hours. (This doesn't include hotel, university, YMCA, or corporate facilities, or home users; there are more than 2400 YMCA's in the U.S.)
