Four Fitness Trends to Look Out for in 2025
Is 2025 the year you finally stick to that resolution and get in better shape? Here's some useful info that could help. A new poll looked at four fitness trends to expect this year.
1. Team sports and studio-based workouts are trendy. 19% of people who work out regularly expect to participate in team sports this year, up from 11% in 2020. Studio-based workouts like yoga and spin classes are up three points.
2. Personal trainers are still popular, but trending down. 21% said they'd worked with a health or wellness coach recently, down from 25% last year. But that's still higher than 18% in 2023. They're great, but also expensive.
3. More people at your gym will be on Ozempic. The poll found people on weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy tend to prefer working out in a gym. They're less likely to exercise at home or outdoors.
4. Turning your workout into a game is more popular. That means things like Apple Watch challenges and Fitbit badges. 8% "always" gamify their work out, up from 6%. Another 16% said sometimes, up four points.
