Fitness Trends for 2012
It’s Here! ACSM’s Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2012
For the 6th consecutive year, this survey has embraced previous trends and relegated those trends that have lost interest to the category of “fad, crazes, and rages.” And hopefully, this will help you focus on what will help you to grow.
Below, in order, is the list of what’s in:
- Educated, certified, and experienced fitness professionals
- Strength training
- Personal training
- Core training
- Group personal training
- Zumba and other dance workouts
- Functional fitness
- Yoga
- Boot camp
- Outdoor activities
- Spinning
- Sport-specific training
- Wellness coaching
What’s out?
Pilates, which suggest it may have been a fad instead of a trend; balance training; unmonitored fitness centers such as 24 hour facilities where the staff only work “normal” hours. This trend actually fell in last on the potential list of 37 trends.
