At the beginning of this year, we saw some signs that the COVID-19 crisis may be subsiding, and many countries have eased up slowly. Many of the states that have taken quite stringent measures have changed their direction, and now they are discussing Open Indoor catering, which indicates that they may relax restrictions on fitness clubs and fitness clubs.
I’m sure you’ve read the latest trend report, expectations for 2022. So don’t bother… Here are eight projects to prepare for next year. Lydia will discuss with you today.
In the foreseeable future, streaming media services are becoming more and more important
Various exercises and chat functions enable participants to interact with their tutors and peers and truly create a comfortable recording studio experience at home.
Because you can see everyone around you, understand their sports, and have a dialogue between participants and coaches, training and chat tools actually create a sense of community, even if you exercise alone at home. Therefore, find more and better streaming media services, which will be user-friendly, professional and enhance the function of the community. Everything is here, so that you no longer exercise alone.
More and more group fitness activities begin to be carried out outdoors
In the face of strict indoor restrictions, many warm weather, and even some northern clubs have shifted their exercise to the outdoors. When you think of this, where is the better exercise? Recent 2019 coronavirus disease research shows that 70% to 90% of people suffer from vitamin D deficiency. So, what better place to get the best natural vitamin D than in the sun?
Many people are also rediscovering the benefits of barrier free activities such as walking and making use of outdoor leisure spaces such as parks and hiking trails. In addition, activities such as cycling, roller skating and inline skating are becoming popular again. Outdoor courses including family members have become a popular choice for many clubs. This will be an interesting development if this crisis really keeps children and adults away from sofas and equipment and makes them love outdoor activities again.
Consumers are more inclined to set up a home gym
For the epidemic prevention policy that changes at any time, the home gym has gradually become the most important choice for people’s fitness.
As people transform the garage into a home fitness studio, what is more surprising is the importance they attach to the home gym. Many people choose to build their own gym instead of going to the collective gym. Of course, it will be safer, but it is also very important to choose a high-quality supplier and purchasing partner
Sales of fitness equipment have peaked. But this will create unprecedented opportunities for those personal training professionals who specialize in home exercise and those who want to sell their own fitness products!.
Many people have begun to exercise to improve their health
92% novel coronavirus pneumonia cases have two or two or more complications, according to the CDC data. These diseases include diabetes, pneumonia, heart disease, immune system damage, especially morbidly obese.
According to a study conducted in the UK, the pandemic may be triggering a new interest in physical activity and exercise among older people, who are more vulnerable to viral complications. It is well known that regular exercise combined with other healthy living habits can reduce weight and strengthen the immune system.
It can be seen that increasing exercise and participating in regular exercise are the most effective ways to resist COVID-19. Of course, not only is the new crown, but other physical disease training can also be very effective.
This will create new opportunities for you as a health and exercise professional to design programs specifically to help older clients reduce risk factors and improve overall health.
Social media will be one of the main ways for many individuals to search and consume fitness
As more and more consumers enter the fitness market, many people are seeking guidance from social media.
These instructions are not limited to how to exercise, but also how to buy the sports goods you want and how to buy the products you want most at the cheapest price.
Recently, more platforms have emerged on the Internet, so the social giants are not their only source. You need to be a social media professional and use your influence. This may mean talking with the consultant or paying the consultant fee to get real adjustment, but since this is the way of industry development, it may be a reasonable expenditure, and in this way, it can help you bring huge traffic and opportunities.
Growth of family fitness programs
As device enthusiasts use apps and even their mobile phones for training and turn to indoor and outdoor alternatives, the line between going to the gym or exercising outdoors will become less and less obvious. Many teenagers’ sports activities have been affected by the epidemic, and parents’ response is to let their children participate in recreational activities. This provides an opportunity for health and exercise professionals to develop programs suitable for the whole family.
Things seem to be turning around, so get up and take action.
As I said in my last article, this pandemic has changed the fitness industry in ways we couldn’t imagine a year ago. The public is better understanding the role of exercise in promoting the best health. This in turn will create new consumers who need the guidance of ACE certified personal coaches, health coaches and group fitness coaches. Gym owners and fitness studio operators need to pay long-term attention to these trends I mentioned. As I said before, I want to repeat: now is the time to see how to get rid of the old mentality of “hard training, fast training and six pack abs” for your equipment and products, and make your business more in line with the new direction of your industry. If you want to survive and grow in 2022, it will be crucial to find a way to take your club in a new direction.
