Abstract

Since the pioneering edition for the year 2017, the National Surveys of Fitness Trends have been developed in Spain, reproducing the methodology of the worldwide surveys promoted by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). As every year, the objective of this study is to identify the main trends in the Spanish fitness sector by showing the results of the survey carried out for 2023, as well as to compare the results with those reported in the national and worldwide surveys of 2022. In addition, the possible impact of COVID-19 on the trends that, according to the respondents, will be more relevant in 2023 was also analyzed. The survey was sent through electronic platforms to 7,143 professionals related to the fitness sector, obtaining a response rate of 7.3%. Of the 506 total responses, 31.2% were from women. The top five trends for 2023 were, in decreasing order: “functional fitness training”, “small group personal training”, “personal training”, “hiring certified professionals” and “strength training with free weights”. The trends in the top-20 in Spain for 2023 were very similar to those of 2022, both in the number of matches (18 common trends) and in the positions held (within the top-10 there were 9 trends common to both surveys). Analogous to what happened in past editions, there was a greater discrepancy between the Spanish survey for 2023 and the worldwide survey for 2022, with 13 common trends in the top-20 and only four coincidences within the top-10. These results continue to confirm, consistent with previous editions, the stability of trends in the Spanish fitness sector and the greater divergence from worldwide trends.
