The fitness landscape in 2024 shifted drastically from the basic gym and home workouts to blending in technology, personalisation and holistic well-being. 2024 was full of the hottest fitness trends, be it AI-powered training or pop Pilates. So, as we head toward the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to look back at these trends, for they might even carve their way into the future as well. Let’s dive in.
AI Personal Training
Well, if you can’t beat it, you might as well befriend it. That is what we all did with artificial intelligence in 2024. The year saw some great developments in the field of AI both in the tech world and health and fitness sectors. AI-powered workouts became a popular thing as various apps began to emerge and people adopted them quite quickly.
Pop Pilates
2024 also came with a wave of elegantly styled women flooding Instagram, channelling the grace of ballerinas with a contemporary twist. Though Pilates has been around for over a century, 2024 solidified its spot in the fitness mainstream. Other than the aesthetic appeal, pop Pilates is also one of the most effective workout regimes we saw last year.
Community Workouts
If there is anything better than a good workout, it is hitting your workout goals with your best buddy. Believe it or not, one’s fitness journey can be strongly benefitted if it’s shared with a partner, which is why community workouts became a raging phenomenon in 2024. In fact, according to a report, volleyball reservations surged by 256% since 2023, soccer by 158%, and ice skating by an incredible 698% in bookings, making community workouts the surprising trend of all.
Cryotherapy
We all were amazed seeing Shalini Passi jump into her very own cryo-chamber in Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. Now of course, not everyone can’t afford one but there are plenty of wellness bars that offer the service. Cryotherapy became the ‘cool’ thing in fitness in 2024, quite literally. This practice exposes one’s body to extremely low temperatures for a few minutes, numbing nerve irritating and reducing arthritic pain.

Sustainability over Intensity
In 2024, we bid farewell to ‘go hard or go home,’ because this year was all about finding a balance when it comes to achieving one’s dream body. Fitness influencers no longer stressed over or promoted a certain waist length or digit on the weigh scale but rather a body and mindset that one feels comfortable in. The fitness industry focuses on creating routines that work for different individuals. Alas, the generation is finally understanding that consistency is more important than intensity.
Fitness became a central focus for many in 2024. As we move ahead and step into 2025, let’s embrace these changes.
