Who are AHLs?
■ As people age, their motivations for active and healthy living
change from fitness and weight loss to health conditions. Women
are also more likely than men to be driven by weight loss goals,
where men seek fitness goals.

bikes over mountain bikes.

AHLs across their lives
■ Being active and healthy are not just things that AHLs do, they’re
things that AHLs are. A deeper look into the activities of AHLs shows
that these behaviors transcend health and fitness and expand across
all areas of AHLs’ lives.

Buying styles
■ Brands marketing to AHLs should seek to provide them with
information that allows them to make their own informed decisions
about products. AHLs are willing to pay more to buy the best, but
they won’t take your word that your product is the best, they want
you to prove it.

AHL attitudes towards

■ AHLs’ attitudes towards advertising and brands are consistent with the
notion that they like to do their own product research as opposed to
being influenced by third parties.
AHLs are looking
for information,
not for someone
to tell them
what to think.

Booming Boomers
■ After many years with kids in the household, Booming Boomers finally
have some “me time.” They put some of their newfound leisure time
into their own well-being, focusing on aerobic and recreational physical
activities. Health becomes an increasing concern and motivation for
both exercise and healthy eating. They have a moderate to high level
of disposable income, yet are very conscientious shoppers.
