Functional fitness is at the top of fitness trends predicted for this year.

 

According to canfitpro’s annual report on the industry, 43 per cent of fitness professionals and business owners find Canadians doing bodyweight training, balance stability training, and primal movement training will carry over into this year.

 

It explains equipment-free workouts are likely more popular due to the residual effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Additionally, fitness training and programs for older adults is expected to increase as more options for lower impact activities are offered at fitness centres and online.

 

For those looking to keep up their fitness goals for 2023, canfitpro’s COO Mo Hagan says keeping goals small and attainable and experimenting until you find a workout or activity that works for you are key.
