In this on-demand Thought Leaders discussion, leaders from some of the most respected organizations in the fitness industry — Mary Edwards of Cooper Aerobics, Gini Grimsley of VASA Fitness, and Darrick Druce of CR Fitness Holdings, LLC — come together to dissect the major shifts happening in personal training today. They explore the areas of growth and decline, emerging trends and the strategies that will shape it for the future.
The panel begins with a look at the current landscape of personal training, specifically in areas seeing the most significant growth. Small group training, youth performance and event-driven fitness sessions are all trending upward. More clients are gravitating toward programs that provide both individualized attention and community support, suggesting a notable shift in the demand for fitness services. One-on-one training, while still a staple in personal fitness, is seeing slight decline as more people opt for the dynamic atmosphere and motivational benefits of group settings.
