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.

Alongside the deadlift, the bicep curl, and the leg press, the bench press is one of the most widely known resistance training exercises. Research shows the bench press emphasizes muscle growth in the pectoralis major muscles in your chest more than the triceps, but you’ll also work your triceps bracchi, pectoralis minor, and anterior deltoids in your shoulders. 

The bench press is a killer move to add to your upper body training days and remains popular in the fitness world. As a benchmark of strength, the classic bench press is one of the Big Three in competitive powerlifting alongside deadlifts and squats. Let’s look at the benefits of the bench press, how to do it, and tips to maximize your results.

This tiny muscle could be contributing to lower back pain. Try these stretches
Relieve muscle tightness with these effective stretches.
Man with back pain

According to the World Health Organization or the WHO, lower back pain affected 619 million people globally in 2020. That number is predicted to increase to 843 million by 2050. A large percentage of these cases are nonspecific, meaning they aren’t believed to be associated with another diagnosis or underlying disease, pathology, or tissue damage. Back pain can be caused or worsened by ligament or muscle sprains that often result from poor posture, lack of exercise, sudden awkward movements, improper lifting, and more.

The piriformis is one of the tiny and often overlooked muscles that can contribute to back pain. Lower back tension can arise from tightness in this muscle. Let’s look at what the piriformis is and the best stretches to provide some relief.

This ultra runner finished one marathon every day for an entire year
Finishing a marathon requires physical and mental fortitude.
legs running on track.

Finishing one marathon once in your life is a big accomplishment you should be proud of. Training for a marathon and crossing the finish line requires dedication, consistency, and a degree of athletic prowess. A full marathon is 26.2 miles, and the average marathon time for men in 2023 was 4:14:29 and 4:42:09 for women. After running a marathon, many runners might take a breather, but some just keep on going. Finishing one marathon every day for a year is incredibly impressive, but one ultra runner recently did just that and raised money for breast cancer research, too.
One marathon every day for an entire year

In Ghent, Belgium, on the last day of 2024, Belgian ultra runner and bioengineer, Hilde Dosogne, crossed the finish line cheered on by a sea of spectators. Hilde Dosogne set out to smash the Guinness World Record as the first woman to run a marathon every single day of the year. She was able to run most marathons on a flat loop around a stretch of water outside the university town of Ghent, with a strong headwind as one of her toughest obstacles.
