Personal Fitness Trainer Global Market Report 2024

The personal fitness trainer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $39.06 billion in 2023 to $41.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growing awareness of health and fitness, rising obesity rates, celebrity endorsements, government initiatives, and the aging population.

The personal fitness trainer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $51.69 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise of virtual and augmented reality in fitness, the popularity of customized fitness plans, growth in the home fitness equipment market, integration of nutrition advice, and the increasing prevalence of telehealth and online training. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered fitness coaching, genetic fitness testing, outdoor and nature-based fitness activities, community-based fitness programs, and the utilization of smart fabrics and wearables.

The increasing prevalence of obesity is anticipated to drive the growth of the personal fitness trainer market. Obesity and overweight conditions are characterized by abnormal or excessive weight gain, posing health risks to individuals. An individual is considered overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher, while obesity is defined by a BMI of 30 or higher. Personal fitness trainers play a crucial role in assisting overweight or obese clients in reducing health risks through personalized weight loss programs, providing encouragement and support throughout their weight loss journey. For example, a report by Cancer Research UK, an independent cancer organization based in the UK, predicts that 71% of people will be overweight by 2040, an increase from 64% based on 2022 data. Among these individuals, approximately 36% of adults (21 million people) are expected to be obese. This projection highlights the alarming rise in obesity rates, emphasizing the growing need for professional guidance and support in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Consequently, the increase in obesity serves as a significant driver behind the growth of the personal fitness trainer market.

The expansion of the aging population is expected to be a key driver propelling the growth of the personal fitness trainer market. An aging population refers to the increasing percentage of individuals aged 60 years and older, accompanied by a decrease in the number and percentage of younger individuals in a population. Personal fitness trainers play a crucial role in supporting the aging population, as maintaining an active lifestyle becomes essential for overall health and fitness as people age. The global aging population trend is contributing to a rising demand for senior-specific fitness services, dedicated senior fitness programs, and certified instructors. Moreover, there is a growing need for personal trainers who are themselves older, aged fifty, sixty, and beyond. Senior clients may prefer working with trainers who are familiar with their unique challenges and understand the importance of tailored fitness approaches for their age group. For instance, data from the World Health Organization in October 2022 indicates that the share of the global population aged 60 years and over increased to 1.4 billion in 2022. Projections suggest that by 2050, the world's population of individuals aged 60 years and older will double, reaching 2.1 billion. Additionally, the number of people aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050, reaching 426 million. This demographic shift underscores the growing impact of the aging population on the demand for personal fitness trainers, driving the growth of the market in catering to the fitness needs of seniors.

Major players in the personal fitness trainer market are actively integrating innovative fitness apps into their portfolios to enhance their market positioning. A fitness app, characterized as a mobile application, is purpose-built to assist users in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, adhering to a structured exercise regimen, and monitoring their fitness advancements. Illustrating this trend, Your Fitness Coach, a prominent Fit-Tech subsidiary of Option1World based in the UAE, introduced the Your Fitness Coach (YFC) application in August 2022. Positioned as the world's most comprehensive fitness platform, the YFC app provides users with multifaceted capabilities, including tracking fitness activities, accessing various gyms and fitness studios, purchasing entry to group classes, securing the services of a certified personal trainer, following in-app training programs devised by fitness experts, and earning rewards for maintaining an active lifestyle. A distinctive feature of the YFC app is its ability to serve as a platform for gyms and fitness centers to promote their facilities and services to a broader audience. Leveraging sophisticated and innovative technology, the app enables users to monitor their activities and accumulate points for completed exercises and steps. These earned Y-coins can be redeemed for purchases, implying that users can essentially earn money through their fitness activities and utilize it to access fitness classes or acquire fitness products from the in-app store.

Prominent companies within the personal fitness trainer market are strategically emphasizing the development of innovative products, particularly wearable fitness devices, to effectively monitor the health and fitness metrics of clients. Wearable fitness devices refer to portable gadgets designed to monitor and track various health and fitness parameters, including activity levels, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. A noteworthy example in this regard is Bonatra, an India-based health-tech company with a focus on longevity, which, in August 2023, introduced the wearable smart ring X1. This smart ring is engineered to provide continuous monitoring of a diverse range of health parameters, empowering users to lead longer and healthier lives. The smart ring X1 from Bonatra stands out due to its cutting-edge capabilities, offering insightful data on various health-related aspects. Crafted from aerospace-quality titanium alloys, the smart ring ensures durability. Its IP68 rating and hypoallergenic medical-grade resin make it suitable for sports such as swimming, deep diving, sailing, surfing, and trekking, guaranteeing both water resistance and comfort during extended usage.
