p<0.1. See notes to Table 3 for a full list of control variables. Above median visits in pre period equals 1 if visits in the two week pre period were 3 or more (45% of the sample) and 0 otherwise. Does not currently schedule gym visits equals 1 if subject chooses “Somewhat” or “Very much” when asked the following question, “To what extent does the following statement apply to you? I don’t go to the gym as much as I would like because I don’t set aside time for it in my schedule; then my schedule fills up and I no longer have time to go to the gym.” (61% of the sample) and 0 otherwise. Thinks planning might help equals 1 if subject chooses “Maybe” or “Yes” when asked, “Do you think you would go to the gym more often if you planned one or two weeks ahead about what days/times you would go to the gym?” (53% of the sample) and 0 otherwise. Will be out of town 4+ days equals 1 if subject chooses four days or more when asked, “How many days do you expect to be out of town in the next two weeks?” (42% of the sample) and 0 otherwise.
