Embrace the changing landscape of wellness in 2022 as we anticipate a year filled with rejuvenation, growth, and connection. Here's a sneak peek at the trends that are shaping the health, fitness, and wellness world in the upcoming year.
Predicting the Future: Our Methodology
Like time-traveling detectives, we've been keeping our fingers on the pulse of all things trending in health, fitness, and wellness. How? By staying up-to-date on a plethora of emails and doing extensive reading, product testing, attending marketing events, and even some real-life window shopping in 2021.
In addition, we've consulted experts in the field, such as the Pinterest Predicts 2022, the Fitt Insider newsletter, and ClassPass: Fitness and Beauty Trends 2022. By combining our observations with their insights, we predict the following trends:
1. Self-Care Redefined: Wellness as a Lifestyle
Mindfulness, rest, and growth will be more than just buzzwords in 2022. They'll become intimate aspects of our daily lives. In an uncertain world, self-care will no longer be a luxury, but a necessity.
Eager to incorporate wellness into their routines, people are finding creative ways to make it part of their lives, like using adaptive furniture, intuitively designed clothing, and wearables. Brands like Resonate and AGOGIE are leading the way, offering innovative solutions for meditation, fitness, and everyday life.
2. Affordable Smart Fitness
Smart fitness equipment is no longer just for the privileged. Budget-friendly home gym solutions will become more prominent in 2022, making it easier for everyone to stay active.
The Peloton price drop was a game-changer, signaling a shift towards more affordable and accessible smart fitness options. Brands like Tempo Studio and Macvon are at the forefront of this trend, offering cutting-edge technology at budget-friendly prices.
3. Making Peace with Periods
Periods are no longer a taboo subject. Embracing menstruation and taking a more wholesome approach to managing periods is set to be a major trend in 2022.
Natural alternatives for period pain relief are gaining popularity, as are sustainable and eco-friendly menstrual products. Brands like PowerDot and Natural Cycles are pioneering this shift, providing women with medication-free, accessible options for managing their periods.
4. The Food Renaissance
In a world where connection is more important than ever, community and food traditions will take center stage in 2022. Baking, fermentation, and gardening will continue to gain popularity, as will farm-to-table and whole-foods diets.
Brands like The Farmstand and Ninja are leading this trend, offering solutions that blend modern technology with traditional culinary practices.
5. Customization: One Size Does Not Fit All
Personalization is the name of the game in 2022. Custom supplements, workout plans, and accessories are becoming increasingly popular, giving consumers a more tailored experience.
With the rise of data-driven insights, personalized wellness tools, and genetic testing, consumers can craft health and wellness routines that are truly their own. Brands like The Good Feet Store and Viome are at the forefront of this trend, providing consumers with personalized solutions for their wellness needs.
As we move forward into the new year, we're excited to see how these trends evolve and transform our health, fitness, and wellness landscape. Let's make 2022 a year of growth, exploration, and innovation in our pursuit of wellness.
