Top 5 Fitness Technology Trends





The Future is Now: Five must-follow ideas to ensure an excellent fitness technology fit in the year 2023.


Technology has increaslingly become a part of people’s lives and the same has made a way into the fitness sector. Futuristic features in wearing devices, applications, augmented reality and much more is modifying our movement, training and monitoring process. We look at the future of working out by few technological advancements that are going to be most influential as we transit to 2023. Here is the list of five emerging fitness technologies that many would love to grab.


1. Introducing Artificial Intelligence into Smart Strength Training


Resistance training is critical for health and mobility, although, creating these programs can be challenging. Fortunately, we can turn to artificial intelligence AI to help. Modern applications such as Freeletics employ computer vision as well as sensors to count reps, the range of motion, and the form and feedback all in real-time. After your session, your performance is then evaluated through artificial intelligence and the later workouts are tailored accordingly thus enabling you to improve in your workouts gradually but surely. 


Other smart strength products such as Tonal and Tempo also follow the same approach with built-in sensors to digitize barbells and weight and machine. These convert conventional gear into ‘smart’ allowing the AI coaches to lead you on strength, HIIT, and mobility workout sessions based on your abilities while gradually progressing throughout the program. Get ready for smarter strength training equipment next year.


2. FitTech with Augmented & Virtual Reality  


Apps built using AR and VR are enhancing fitness and making it even more entertaining. Supernatural and FitXR, for example, take users into virtual reality spaces and transform exercise into less of a chore. These are programs where wearing VR headsets, the actual movement is covered with games, coached workouts, and information enhanced by stunning graphics.


AR employs a concept similar to VR but uses a smartphone camera to project digital content into the real environment. The Runndle app and Zwift for instance, make outdoor runs and rides interactive to peers by mapping avatars and statistical overlays on paths and streets in real time. In consequence as technology advances, expect more intensified and smoother correlation between exertion and virtual sites.  


3. Smart Gyms & Studios to Other Studios


Wearable technologies and internet-enabled fitness equipment have been with us since before the start of this decade, but the full fitness facility is getting connected. Both strength and cardio equipment incorporate touch screens for the classes, performance monitoring, and interactive exercise programs. Mirrors and the wall-mounted flat screen display live and recorded group fitness classes. Smart things transmit metrics to equipment that counts the reps, sets, wattage, and many others directly to the wearer’s phone application profile.


In the background, gym owners are already using those cloud-based management systems to see how their premises and their members engage with the equipment and the content. Coupled with independent group programs, smart machines, wearables, smart applications, and mobile apps; coupled with powerful AI software to deliver a uniquely customized experience for each member, the blend of all these forms a well-connected fitness ecosystem. Shortly, it will be expected that the transition from one fitness experience to another will be completely smooth.


4. Wearables Get Even Smarter


If one looks back at the number of years since wearable technology began to appear in today’s forms, one will discover the technology has traveled quite a distance. The first fitness trackers only tracked steps and roughly estimated calorie expenditure while the modern wearables harvest enormous volumes of biometric info such as sleep phases, blood oxygen levels, and extensive heart rate variability. We’re also witnessing increased growth in the precision, accuracy, and reliability of such data that would facilitate improved fitness solutions and staging of health trends over time.


Moreover, everyday accelerometers, gyros, or even radar sensors worn on garments and accessories can identify and count exercises, detect patterns like cadence and gait efficiency, and determine the physiological load. Integrated with machine learning algorithms, smartwatches shall deliver even more tailored health and fitness-related recommendations in 2023 and onwards.


5. The Rise of the New Fitness Revolution: 5G and The Edge 


The gigabit wireless connectivity and cutting-edge Edge computing will deliver life-enhancing fitness experiences for Anything as a Service (XaaS) in smart connected venues and smart connected fitness equipment. For instance, augmented climbing walls would allow the augmentation of the challenge of bouldering by overlaying these surfaces with a games layer, created with the help of spatial mapping and CV. As seen in some applications of Augmented Reality or Streaming Point Clouds, enhanced cycling applications might make facsimiles of video games like mountain paths. Exerges could be tightly coupled so that group workouts could occur in perfect choreography worldwide across megacities due to ultra-low latency wireless connectivity. 


This is too much of a problem for fitness mirrors to rely on form feedback acquired through videos that have to be constantly stored in the cloud. These experiences will lead to the next fitness evolution, integrated with advanced digital interfaces with tangible motion across death, gyms, studios, sports facilities, and lots of other places at scale. The required ecosystem is beginning to emerge in 2023 to make several of these concepts a reality very soon.


The Future Has Arrived


Meanwhile, smart strength training, guides, and from the most sophisticated, immersive digital realities to the newest forms that are fit and ready to revolutionize human performance – the newer fitness technologies continue to evolve en masse. Using innovative hardware motion trackers, wearable devices, smartphones, broadband internet, and smart software, the solutions described in this paper seek to make fitness effective, fun, communal, customizable, and inclusive. This brings out the fitness future to assist in enhancing the ways that we move, in training, and even in the way we live our healthy lives. Thanks to fast advancement in technology that future is now.
