For the 21st year, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is tracking fitness trends in the commercial, community, clinical, and corporate environments. This survey is distributed to thousands of exercise professionals all over the world. As an exercise professional, we would greatly appreciate your responses to help us identify these trends for 2027. The results of this survey will be published in the November/December 2026 issue of ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal®.
WHAT IS A TREND?
A fitness trend is a widely adopted and/or sustained pattern in health and fitness participation, professional practice, or industry offerings. Unlike fads, trends persist beyond temporary enthusiasm and demonstrate measurable engagement, market presence, or long-term impact.
