Health disparities affect fitness access by creating unequal opportunities for individuals based on factors such as income, location, and education. People in lower socioeconomic areas may have limited access to gyms, safe outdoor spaces, and fitness programs compared to those in wealthier regions. Furthermore, cultural barriers and systemic inequalities can hinder motivation and resources available for physical activity. These disparities contribute to wider health gaps, often resulting in higher rates of chronic illnesses in underserved populations.
