If I had to predict, I would say in the next decade we'll see something like those meal kit services but for fitness. Instead of having boxes of fresh ingredients plus cooking instructions delivered to your door based on your preferences, it'll be something along the lines of a personalized fitness routine with included equipment for each individual based on some profile they fill out on some website. Or maybe virtual reality and/or AI will figure into the future of fitness somehow....real instructors will go away and be replaced by talking heads. Okay, maybe not really to either of the above, but it would be kind of funny!! I guess I'm in a mood right now.... |

I have a co-worker with severe heart issues who is wearing some kind of smart watch that can take his blood pressure and send EKG reports to his doctor's office. I'm sure this technology will continue to develop with wearable devices (implants next?) that send health and fitness info to medical portals. I predict health insurance companies will get in on it so Big Brother will know if you're being bad or good, and adjust your premiums accordingly.

I do think it's a matter of time before the insurance companies become even more evil and invade our privacy with all the wearables data.

I think there will be more wearable tech, both on the health and the fitness fronts. It's kind of interesting to see where things are going and kind of daunting with the privacy considerations.
I think the social aspect of workouts will increase as time goes on, whether it's in in-person classes or apps that share info or social sharing. I'm not into any of that, so it will be interesting to see what, if anything, I plug into in the future.
