Scott and Sadie2025 is here, and you’ve probably already heard the buzz: this is the year to finally hit those fitness goals. Or, at least, that’s what every fitness influencer on Instagram is yelling about. The truth is, fitness trends evolve faster than your enthusiasm for a New Year’s resolution. But some trends stick around, and this year’s batch has some interesting options to consider.
Let’s dive into what’s shaping up to be the biggest fitness fads of the year and whether they’re worth the hype—or just another way to make you feel guilty about your love for pizza.
The Top Five Fitness Trends of 2025
- AI-Powered Personal Training
Why hire a human trainer when an app can do the job for half the cost? AI fitness apps now analyze your progress and tailor workouts to your specific goals. Bonus: no human judgment when you skip leg day. - Hybrid Outdoor Workouts
Gyms are great, but have you tried yoga on a mountaintop or boot camps in your local park? Outdoor fitness is booming as people ditch treadmills for fresh air and Instagram-worthy workout spots. - Recovery-Focused Fitness
Gone are the days of “no pain, no gain.” Recovery is king in 2025, with classes dedicated to foam rolling, stretching, and guided relaxation. Who knew you could sweat while lying down? - Virtual Reality (VR) Fitness Adventures
Forget boring gym routines. With VR fitness, you can climb Everest, box against a virtual opponent, or even dance through a neon galaxy. It’s like gaming but with fewer Cheetos and more cardio. - Low-Impact Workouts
Not everyone wants to be a CrossFit champion. Pilates, barre, and swimming are trending hard this year as people embrace fitness that’s gentle on the joints but still gets results.
