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.

Hyrox is an intense challenge for anyone, especially for those in their 80s who have just battled cancer. The fitness race consists of alternating 1km runs with eight different workout stations. Every time you complete the 1km run, you end up at one of the eight functional workout stations:

1km ski-erg
50m sled push
50m sled pull
80m burpee broad jump
1km row
200m farmer's carry
100m sandbag lunge
100 wall balls

How long does it take to cycle the circumference of the earth? New world record
This dedicated cyclist has been cycling every day for almost a decade.

Dedicated cyclists set different goals to strive for, from cycling 40 miles in a day to cycling 5,000km or around 3106 miles in a year. I love cycling because it’s fun working your legs, hips, and core and feeling the breeze on your face, even if I only have time for a shorter ride around the neighborhood. Last year, one dedicated cyclist traveled a greater distance than the earth's circumference.
New world record

In 2024, according to Strava, Czech cyclist Kateřina Rusá covered an incredibly impressive distance of 50,555 km or 31,413 miles, smashing her previous 2023 record of 50,505km. In 2023, Rusá cycled for an average of 6 hours and 39 minutes and rode over 150km per day.

Can exercising before surgery improve recovery and risks? New research

Previous research highlights how being more physically active can improve surgical outcomes. The process of optimizing nutrition and exercise to help you actively prepare for an upcoming procedure is medically recognized as ‘prehabilitation.’ Prior to surgery, surgeons tell their patients to eat healthier and continue trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

Recently, researchers explored the effects of prehabilitation and whether eating right and exercising before surgery could improve surgical results. The duration, intensity, and type of exercise you’re able to do leading up to a surgery depends on the type of surgery, your physical health, and other factors. Senior scientist and lead researcher from this recent study, Dr. Daniel McIsaac, shared the benefits of prehabilitation and that it’s always a good idea to ask your doctor. Let’s look at the research.
