2020 changed the way we approach fitness more than any other year in recent memory. The quarantine and lockdowns caused by COVID-19 completely changed the way we work out and led to the emergence of new fitness trends. These were the top five trends that ruled the conversation in the past year.
Home Workouts
As gyms around the world closed their doors, fitness lovers turned to home workouts and some even discovered they suit them much better than traditional gym classes.
Virtual Classes
Many gyms and personal trainers moved to online spaces and offered virtual workouts to their clients—both old and new—while meeting in person was out of the question.
Dance Cardio
As home workouts became the new normal, many people struggled with motivation and turned to their most offbeat form—dance cardio workout channels.
Rollerblading
Many social distancing-friendly outdoor activities have been all the rage this spring and summer, but none was more popular than rollerblading, which experienced a true renaissance thanks to TikTok.
Activewear Boom
New brands enter the activewear scene every year, but they’ve been doing it more than ever this year. As we replaced formal clothes for yoga pants in quarantine, everyone from Mango to Kohl’s joined the activewear game with brand-new collections.
