We may have includedHYROXin our 2024 trend predictions, but it shows no signs of slowing down. The functional fitness race— consisting of eight workout stations interspersed with one-kilometre runs— has seen participation rates grow over 100% yearly for the past three years. Will it be as successful for a fourth? Most probably. As a result, expect morefunctional fitness racesto crop up throughout the year too.

There’s been a surge in people signing up for marathon’s and ultras, with this year’s London Marathon receiving its highest number of ballot entries and the New York City Marathon clocking up over 55,000 participants.
Data will drive training
Fitness trackersandsmartwatcheswill become even more sophisticated, offering personalised recovery plans using biometrics and AI analysis. “Wearable devices will monitor factors like muscle fatigue, hydration levels, and sleep quality, providing tailored recovery advice,” says Dick. “There’s a shift from hustle culture to a greater understanding of the importance of recovery to generate optimal results and performance. This will be intertwined with the biohacking/longevity trend as recovery options continue to expand.”

Red light therapy isn’t exactly new but, according toBON CHARGEFounder, Andy Mant, it’ll become even more mainstream as people turn to non-invasive at-home recovery. “We see it being a major trend in 2025 due to its proven benefits for improving skin appearance, faster recovery post-exercise, supporting weight management goals, and overall wellness.”
Hydration is key
Electrolyte products have been popping up everywhere this year, thanks to the rise of endurance sports, like HYROX and running. “As people recognise the connection between energy levels, muscle function, and overall well-being, the demand for electrolyte supplements has soared,” says Eleanor Hoath, head nutritionist atHealf. However, they’re also becoming part of mainstream culture with the release of everyday hydration drinks (Unwell), gels (Oshun) and powders (Humantra). “As more individuals prioritise hydration for improved performance, recovery, and long-term health, this trend is set to continue.”
