We’re excited about the way people are talking about the fitness sphere lately. With more moderate approaches to exercise, an emphasis on body neutrality and a shift in thoughts on overall wellness, there’s lots to look forward to when it comes to new fitness-industry trends. In 2024, we're seeing a big push toward holistic wellness, personalized workouts and eco-friendly fitness options. Here are five trends we’re loving for the new year:

Holistic Wellness

In 2024, it’s all about taking care of your entire self— physically and emotionally. Think mind-body connection, and choose fitness classes that incorporate mindfulness, stress reduction and mental health practices. Because life is stressful and fast-paced, and we all need a minute, don’t we?

If you’re seeking specific relaxation exercises for your well-being, consider signing up for a yoga class (even better? Goat yoga!), pilates, tai chi or something that incorporates meditation.

Ultra-Personalized Workouts

The year 2024 is all about your fitness, your way. You probably have a smartwatch or wearable fitness device, which gives you an idea of your workout progress. But those wearables can also help you create a personalized workout plan based on your data and can even give you nutrition recommendations that complement your goals.

The rise of AI also can help tailor your workouts to specific fitness goals. Oh, and if you want to get really tech-y, you can hop on the VR bandwagon and take an immersive boxing, dancing or HIIT workout.

Even More Wearables

We’re already in the era of Big Brother, so why not embrace the many data points technology can bring? Even gyms are incorporating heart rate monitors, body composition analyzers and other health-monitoring tech for more precise fitness and wellness recommendations. And your own personal devices can now alert you to heart rate variabilities, blood oxygen rates, sleep patterns and your body’s temperature.

Going Green

Sustainability is a big deal these days in the fitness industry, and for good reason. We all want the planet to continue on for generations to come. Even corporations like Nike and adidas are getting in on the action, using even more recycled materials and more responsible production practices. Look to sustainable workout and everyday apparel like the 100% recycled polyester Nautica vest or the Nike Sportswear Move to Zero tee. Finish any fit off with a pair of futuristic adidas NMD_G1 trainers made with recycled materials.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

We love to see it! A major fitness trend is the inclusivity of gyms, fitness programs and even sports rehab to meet people where they are — regardless of ability, race, gender, size, background, illnesses and accessibility. If you have a chronic illness or a movement disorder, you may find a dance fitness class catered to your specific needs. Geriatric populations can join more adaptive programs, while plus-size individuals can find supportive gyms that offer a sense of belonging without any sort of stigma.

The fitness world is ever-evolving, and 2024 is poised to be the best year yet in terms of sustainability, mind-body emphasis, inclusivity and personalization.
