Xplor Gym shares top fitness trends for 2025
Dave Alstead, Commercial Director for Xplor Gym, has shared the top 25 fitness trends that gym owners and operators need to be aware of in 2025 (and beyond).
The fitness and wellbeing industry is ever-changing – adapting to new consumer demands, the latest technologies, operating models and more. 2025 will be another year of exciting changes.
Over recent years, there’s been a shift in how people view fitness, health and wellbeing. This is reflected in the 2025 trends – sleep, exercise for mental health, and community are among the trends detailed.
Interest in specific types of workout also look set to grow in 2025. Pilates, functional fitness, and run clubs are amongst the workout trends that have made the list. And of course, strength training remains ever popular, especially with younger gymgoers.
Gyms across the UK will look for ways to maximise their use of technology. This shows in the trends for the year. Automation, personalisation, and AI workouts features on the list.
Plus, the list shows that gyms are getting serious about providing gym member apps. Apps that deliver the features members need to get more from their membership investment – including personalised training and nutrition plans. All linked to a club’s gym management software, mobile apps are a must for businesses looking to elevate their brand and member journey – while diversifying revenue streams (another 2025 trend!).
The trends list also reflects how gyms and fitness clubs will continue to look for ways to operate more efficiently and effectively in 2025. Profitable group fitness, going 24/7, and people management are amongst the business trends on the list.
