The Top 10 Fitness Trends For 2021

Dec 02, 2020  |  Published by Your Life Choices

On Wednesday, the Australian Institute of Fitness (AIF) released its top 10 Australian fitness trend predictions for next year.

According to the survey of AIF’s leading industry experts and professionals, the top fitness trend for 2021 will be:

  1. Wearable technology
  2. Exercise is medicine
  3. Mind and body training
  4. Virtual fitness
  5. High intensity interval training
  6. Functional fitness training
  7. Health and wellness coaching
  8. Personal training
  9. Group training
  10. Outdoor activities

Commenting on the trend forecasts, AIF noted the seismic shifts the global fitness industry has faced this year following the onset of COVID-19, as fitness businesses, professionals and consumers have adapted how and where they train.

“The shutdowns and challenges the fitness industry has endured in 2020 have paved the way for large-scale technology disruptors and major evolutions in fitness offerings,” AIF chief executive Steve Pettit said.

“Necessity is the mother of invention, and as we’ve seen our social needs change, fitness professionals and consumers alike have embraced new fitness technologies and training models, and reconsidered the role that fitness plays in broader health and everyday lives.

“As we prepare to, hopefully, reset in a new post-COVID world next year, we expect to see many of the fitness developments from 2020 continue to endure, evolve and gain popularity throughout 2021.

“Regardless of how the pandemic pans out, the fitness world has been forever changed – and there’s plenty of positive takeaways for those willing to continue riding the wave.”
