1. Personal Trainers
The fitness industry is demanding more and more personal trainers and over the past few years, there has been a spike in certified professional trainer certifications. Most people are opting for individual training sessions because of the personalized fitness regime that they can implement. Which in turn allows for better results from their workout routine.
2. Wearable Technology
We see the wrist gadgets on our arms everywhere we go. Wearables, as they are referred to now, provide valuable data for those who are serious about their progress and workouts, and there is an option out there for everyone. According to Split Fit fitness technology is an excellent way to measure, track, record, analyze and keep us motivated. But these are only tools. The important ingredient will always be the wearer. Wearables do not determine our health and fitness level, they simply offer a way to help us see the tangible effects of our exercise.
3. Group Workouts
When we are at the gym we don’t see as many long rangers as we use to because 2022 has ushered in the trend of group workouts. Just like personal training, group training sessions hold you accountable for turning up and putting 100% effort into your workout. Combining group training sessions into your weekly workout routine can give you a structured foundation. A couple of other benefits are; people are keeping an eye on each other which offers a safer environment that can lead to fewer injuries and your group can evolve into a support group of friends.
