The fitness industry has witnessed massive growth in exercise trends, including a renewed interest in Pilates and various at-home workouts. If staying fit is part of your New Year’s resolutions, you are probably excited to know what exercises are worth trying.
What fitness trends are professionals predicting for 2025? You may be surprised by the mix of old and new routines.
1. One-On-One Pilates Sessions
It’s been decades since Pilates was created, but it has become one of the most viral exercise trends of 2024. It’s a low-impact workout focusing on building mobility and strength, improving posture and strengthening the core. Physiotherapist Helen O’Leary predicts that smaller class sizes and private sessions will become a hit next year.
“The trend for small group classes will likely continue,” Helen told Stylist. “Physiotherapists have been using modified Pilates for decades to help prevent and rehabilitate from injury, so Pilates undertaken on a small group or 1:1 basis will provide the space for people to tailor their workouts to their personal goals.”
TikTok user Annie Dayoon Kim recommends a private lesson for beginners so the instructor can constantly correct your form as you perform the exercises.
2. Run Clubs
Running has a low barrier to entry since all you need are shoes, proper attire and the motivation to get moving, which will make running clubs popular next year. According to running coach Victoria Roos-Olsson, having an accountability group or partner helps you stay committed to the activity, making it ideal for people who want to kick-start their fitness era.
