Interesting fact: almost four in five people in Ireland reported their health as being good or very good in 2023 – which was the highest in all the European Union!
There are several reasons for this. One is that Ireland has a strong sporting culture with popular activities like Gaelic football, hurling, rugby, soccer, and running. Many people participate in from a young age, fostering lifelong physical activity.
The country’s scenic landscapes encourage outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and swimming. There are abundant parks, trails, and coastal paths that promote outdoor exercise – while the moderate climate allows for year-round outdoor activity without extreme heat or cold (once you own a rain jacket).
And something that can’t be overlooked in 2025 is the rise of Irish fitness influencers and online coaches who are encouraging more people to adopt healthier lifestyles.
