What are the health and fitness trends for 2022? Fitness trends change every year and sometimes the one that stands out can be surprising to people. Because a trend means that something is extremely popular now.
But a trend is like being relevant or being a hot actor now. Your relevancy with time and age starts to wane and dip. And something newer and younger or different becomes the next big fitness trend. That is just how life is with anything.
According to the worldwide survey of fitness trends via the editors of ACSM’s Health and Fitness Journal the #1 fitness trend in 2022 is wearable technology. And it was rated #2 in 2021 and it was #1 in 2019 and 2018.
Coming in 2nd and 3rd was home workout gyms and outdoor exercise in 2022. It makes sense why wearable technology is so popular because people want to see how well their doing in their fitness workouts tracking data wise.
What is interesting about that survey is that online live and on-demand exercise classes fell to no 9 for 2022. In 2021 online live and on demand exercise classes was the #1 fitness trend. And that is easy to figure out why because of the start of covid-19 pandemic.
And when all the fitness gyms were closed temporarily. Many people were trying to figure out how can they exercise at home since the gyms were closed. So virtual workouts at that peak pandemic time were in extreme high demand.
People that love these wearable technology devices want to know the calorie burn; they want to know what their heart rate is during their workout. Or they want to know what their resting heart rate is. And it also tracks your route by way of GPS tracking, and it tells you how many steps you did in a day. And it tracks how many calories you burn in day just by regular day to day activity independent of a fitness workout. Wearable technology will always be popular, and the technology gets better and better every year in terms of all the fitness data it can track. So, it is no surprise it is the #1 fitness trend for 2022 in the fitness industry.
How do you choose the right fitness gym for you?
- Is the location near you so you do not have a drive a long distance to work out?
- Are the gym hours broad and wide which will allow you either workout early or workout late? Does the gym have childcare if you need a place for your child to stay while you are doing a workout?
- Is the gym clean and does the staff make sure everything is wiped down completely? Gym cleanliness is important especially during these pandemic times.
- Is the staff at the gym nice and friendly and do they treat their members with respect as that is important?
Those are things to consider when trying to find the right fitness gym for you.
