Top 5 Predicted Fitness Trends for 2015
1. Body Weight Training: This trend made its first appearance in 2013 and is taking the lead as the top predicted trend for next year. Body weight training is a worldwide growing trend offering gym enthusiasts the option of working out using minimal gym equipment combined with exercises such as pull-ups, push-ups, and more.
2. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT training was in the top spot last year and has fallen to the number two spot this year. This type of training involves high-intensity workouts combined with brief periods of recovery and rest. The high-intensity portion of this type of workout is generally short and the entire routine takes about 30 minutes or less.
3. Increased Interest in Certification: With an increase in accreditation offers, this is a trend that continues to grow. Due to the increase in industry growth and an overcrowded fitness professional market, more-and-more fitness professionals are seeking accreditation from third-party accrediting agencies.
4. Strength Training: This type of training dropped to the top four spot last year and remains there this year. Strength Training is a workout that exclusively utilizes weight throughout the entire workout. It continues to be a strong trend and favorite amongst gym enthusiasts with many new younger clients.
5. Personal Training: With an increased interest in fitness professionals becoming certified, there continues to be an increased interest in personal training as well. Personal training has made the top 10 list of trends for nine consecutive years. Personal trainers are available through many fitness organizations and in many different settings with many being self-employed.
