Abstract

In 2016 the first National Survey on Fitness Trend for 2017 in Spain was carried out reproducing the methodology of the annual surveys carried out by the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM) about global fitness trends over more than a decade. This study shows the findings of the second National Survey of Fitness Trends for 2018, aimed to identify the main trends and their relevance in the Spanish fitness sector. The opinion of 637 professionals in the fitness sector about 42 potential trends in the sector for 2018 were gathered via an online questionnaire. Results are compared and discussed with the results of the national survey and the worldwide survey for 2017. In general terms, findings show that trends in the Spanish fitness sector for 2018 match with the trends identified in the national survey for 2017 (17 trends matched and three were new), as well as with the last worldwide survey (15 trends matched). The more relevant trends in the Spanish context are «educated, certified and experienced fitness professionals», «functional training», «exercise and weight loss», «high intensity intervallic training», «personal training» and «body weight training».
