Londoners are no strangers to embracing new trends, especially when it comes to health and fitness. With the city's bustling streets filled with joggers and its iconic parks doubling as open-air gyms, it's clear that staying active is a priority.
However, as technology continues to transform how we approach wellness, London is also becoming a hub for innovative fitness trends. From immersive Metaverse workouts to the latest in wearable tech, the capital is leading the charge in blending traditional health practices with cutting-edge advancements.
Whether you're cycling through Hyde Park, perfecting your posture at home, or tracking your steps on a stroll along the Thames, these new trends are reshaping the way Londoners prioritize their well-being in an ever-evolving urban landscape.
The advancement in technology is making our lives easier than ever before. It assists us in completing our daily chores easily and efficiently and impacts our lifestyle a lot. Now all the people are at ease as automation completes the majority of work for them.
Although there are many positive effects of technological advancement, there are also negative outcomes.
Staying healthy is vital for a better quality of life; more and more people are becoming conscious of it. Our health is taking a toll due to it as physical activity is absent. We see many trends related to health popping up in society now, and I guess it’s the only bandwagon you should consider jumping on.
In this article, from fitness in Metaverse to the use of highly sophisticated wearables, we will dig deep into the health and fitness trends for this year and beyond.
Staying informed with health and fitness trends is now inevitable as they greatly influence your health and wellness goals. They are also a great way to learn more about the social determinants of health (SDOH). Staying up to date with health trends is also ideal for making the right decision about your well-being.
These trends are also important as they help motivate you to achieve certain fitness goals as you fear not being left by society. Here are some of the trends that are forecasted to influence this year greatly.
Metaverse is now getting movement this year. Now more and more users are joining virtual spaces not just for socializing but also for other reasons. Metaverse is a unique way to interact, collaborate and meet new people. New communities are popping up in Metaverse daily, and a growing fitness trend exists.
People are joining communities to work out in group settings and take a step toward their well-being. Metaverse, along with VR technology, is a great way for people to start working out from the comfort of their homes. Moreover, VR workouts have also taken a major update with new devices and high graphics, making the experience matchless.
Work from home gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic and has been still with us even after three years. On the one hand, it is a perfect way to work from the comfort and security of your home. On the other hand, it is causing various health issues.
Most people lack proper work-from-home setup and use their sofas and cushions for it instead of proper chairs and workstations. Lately, more and more are experiencing side effects of frail postural muscles. Thus, the popularity of spine and postural exercises will be high this year.
Fitness trackers and wristbands have been with us for years now. They are more than perfect for tracking your health metrics easily. We can expect to see better and more advanced wearables rolling in the market. Companies like Fitbit, Samsung, Pixel, and Apple are developing new models of fitness bands and trackers every year.
Regarding sensors, manufacturers will also use more powerful and capable sensors that may warn us about life-threatening health conditions early. AI-enhanced feedback from wearables would be common, and you can get highly accurate data from the sensors.
Home gyms were just a slow-burning concept that took the society during COVID-19 and is now a major trend in the fitness industry. The gym industry revenue declined by about 5 billion dollars between 2019 and 2021 due to the lockdown.
Although gyms and clubs are still popular, the home gym trend is here to stay in this year and beyond. There will be a rise in advanced home gym systems and equipment. Peloton is one of the best examples of this trend. Moreover, people also find it comfortable to get their workouts done from home as they don’t have to deal with the hassle of going to the gym.
Mobile fitness applications are another way technology influences the fitness industry. There are more than 800 million mobile fitness app users worldwide, evaluating the apps sector at a whopping 16.6 billion dollars. There will be more and more fitness apps rolling in the market that will be more effective and powerful than their predecessors.
Artificial intelligence will also play a vital role in advancing these apps as it helps provide personalized feedback to users. Moreover, with the GPT-3 model, AI will also provide users with precise diet and fitness plans for speedy outcomes.
The bio-hacking industry is also expected to be 600 billion dollars by 2024. Although metal biohacking has been with us for centuries, technological breakthroughs will make it even more exciting. From gadgets to special exercises for the body and brain, you may alter yourself as you like.
This trend will not just be popular this year but beyond. We can also expect chip implants directly into the brain shortly. Moreover, the advancements in DNA and Genetic hacking are also opening new doors for possibilities as doctors can treat even more life-threatening diseases.
Another popular trend in the fitness world is using advanced AI-powered CRM and management solutions. As the concept of a home gym is gaining momentum, retaining clients for gym and health club owners will become more and more difficult.
New business management software like Wellyx will pop up in the market to assist the brands in revamping their sales and profits. We will also see a boom in Internet of Things (IoT) use in the fitness sector to make all the functions as smooth for customers as businesses can.
The health and fitness industry is evolving rapidly with the advancement in technology and the increasing awareness of the importance of staying healthy. With the rise of the Metaverse and highly sophisticated wearables, people are finding new and innovative ways to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines.
Staying informed and up to date with the latest health and fitness trends can greatly influence your well-being and help you make informed decisions about your fitness goals. As we move forward into this year and beyond, it is important to take advantage of the ever-evolving industry and incorporate these trends into our daily lives for a better quality of life.
