As another year rolls around, there are plenty of fitness trends that we should leave behind in 2024. Not all trends that become popular are worth trying. In 2024, there was a buzz surrounding trends like wall Pilates and 12-3-30 that have since fizzled out. As we welcome 2025, we’re wondering what’s next. What will boom, and what will fade in 2025? Let’s look at the data on the most popular fitness trends predicted to skyrocket in 2025 and the ones we think are more than just hype. 

New data

Pure Gym used worldwide data from Google to determine the rise and fall in searches for nearly 200 different fitness trends. Here are the most interesting results and the trends set to dominate 2025:

  • Remote personal training saw a huge 414% spike in interest this last year, and it’s predicted to continue booming into the new year.
  • Hyrox is predicted to be the second biggest in 2025, following a 233% increase in interest. For over two years, Hyrox has remained a worthy contender, staying in the top five trending workouts on Pure Gym’s Fitness Report.
  • TikTok is still one of the most influential platforms, with the 30-30-30 rule being one of the most popular examples.  
  • Quadrobics also ranks among the top five for 2025 with a 174% increase. ‘Primal fitness’ also made it in the top 20.
  • Step aerobics saw a 124% increase.
  • Interest in rollerblading climbed by 123%.
  • Interest in boxing climbed by 84% and will likely continue into the new year.

Positive patterns

This data highlights positive patterns. We can see that people are prioritizing different types of exercise and activities to make their workout routines more fun and interesting. Not only will you target more muscle groups and get better results with a more diverse training routine, but you’ll also be more likely to stay motivated to work out. Trying out primal fitness, rollerblading, or Hyrox means you’re challenging yourself and aren’t stuck in the same mundane routine. Traditional workouts like going running and using the rowing machine will remain timeless, but it’s good news to see that people are willing to explore and venture out.

The spike in interest in remote personal training is also a good sign that people are seeking guidance and input from professionals to further amplify their health and fitness. The digital age has brought us the convenience and benefits of quality coaching from the comfort and privacy of home.

As we approach the warmer weather of the spring season, many are focused on getting active. Yet, health experts Brad Kearns and Mark Sisson (co-authors of Born to Walk and Two Meals a Day) say even elite athletes are turning to walking to stay healthy. Kearns and Sisson believe traditional endurance training may actually hurt your health, noting that walking could be the answer to fat-burning, brain health, lowering cortisol, and slowing aging. Kearns and Sisson argue that walking is simple, accessible, and low risk for virtually anyone of any fitness level. With minimal risk of injury and no intimidation factor, walking is a routine that anyone can adapt to at any time.

I interviewed Mark Sisson to learn more about the power of walking for our health. Mark is a pioneer of the primal and paleo lifestyle, and is known for his bestselling books and top-ranked blog. A former marathon runner and Ironman triathlete, he also founded Primal Kitchen, revolutionizing healthy condiments before its 2018 acquisition by Kraft-Heinz. Here's what he shared.
