The dawn of a fresh year heralds an opportune moment for invigorating one’s fitness regimen, and once again, the astute team at PureGym has unfurled its meticulously crafted annual fitness forecast—richly intended to stoke the fires of inspiration. This year’s report plunges into the vibrant world of contemporary workouts, unveiling the trend anticipated to dominate the fitness scene come 2025: the burgeoning phenomenon of remote personal trainers, poised to galvanize individuals into action like never before.
Diving into a trove of statistical scrutinies, the analysis juxtaposes the current surge in global Google searches—spanning over 200 fitness trends—from the corresponding timeframe of the previous year. This scrutiny reveals a fascinating mosaic of workouts and fitness fads poised to explode in popularity over the coming year.
Leading this dynamic landscape is, unsurprisingly, ‘remote personal training,’ which has witnessed a staggering 414% surge in interest year-on-year. Initially sparked out of necessity during the tumultuous pandemic era, many personal trainers have skillfully pivoted towards online coaching, continuing to expand their reach with innovative platforms and engaging video sessions.
One cannot overlook the myriad advantages offered by remote personal trainers. They champion the fusion of convenience and flexibility, allowing individuals to mold their workouts around increasingly demanding schedules without the cumbersome burden of commuting to and fro the gym. Claire Phippen, a dedicated personal trainer at PureGym, articulated it poignantly: “As we grow more adept at utilizing apps and embracing the lingering legacy of flexible work arrangements since the pandemic, it’s only natural that virtual fitness solutions have surged in popularity.”
“Research affirms that remote personal training is a fruitful endeavor in achieving tangible results. It offers a structure that seamlessly fits into busy lives, eliminating cancellations often prompted by travel constraints, which benefits both trainer and trainee!”
Yet, the ascension of fitness trends doesn’t halt with remote training. Hyrox, an exhilarating blend of functional and endurance events, has solidified its position as the second most compelling trend for 2025—boasting a remarkable 233% increase in interest. This compelling trend continues to thrive after previously gracing the top five fitness workouts for the past two years.
Moreover, PureGym’s Fitness Report reveals that among the myriad individuals eager to participate in fitness-focused events—be it marathons, park runs, or competitive sports—nearly one in ten are embarking on or contemplating a Hyrox event, a testament to its rising allure.
TikTok’s influence over health and fitness trends remains ever-potent, with the emergence of the 30-30-30 rule capturing the attention of many. This rule advocates commencing the day with 30 grams of protein within half an hour of waking, followed by a humble 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise. Though it originally gained traction from Tim Ferriss’s revered 2010 tome, “The Four Hour Body,” the method has reclaimed the spotlight, thanks to TikTok influencer Gary Brecka, whose recent videos have sparked renewed interest.
