2024 Fitness Trends

     Aging well is the new focus of Gen Z and Baby Boomers and staying strong and mobile for their entire lifetime is more important than dominating exercises. Aligned with those goals is the focus on both stability and balance through core strength designed to enhance or maintain quality of life.

     Topping the list is mindfulness and stress reduction through meditation and mental well-being.  Recovering from exercise is also an important trend where users look for regenerative fitness activities such as hot yoga, guided stretching, massage, cryotherapy, and tailored equipment. Rounding out the changes is the interest in “specialized classes that combine effective techniques and routines with inspiring music and atmosphere,” according to fitness studio founder Jessie Thomas.
