'You feel pretty badass': 3 fitness trends to make good on your 2025 fitness goals

If you're looking to bring the spark back into your active life, here are some of last year's popular workouts and why you may want to add them to this year's routine.

If you're looking to start (or re-start) your fitness journey this month, you're not alone.

According to Forbes, improved fitness is the most common New Year's resolution, and Bloomberg reports that gyms rely on the first month of the year for up to a quarter of their yearly growth. 

Local personal trainer Jarred Berndt said most of those January gym rats will lose steam within a few months, but there are ways to improve your odds of sticking with it.

One is to keep things simple.

"The likelihood of you choosing and completing one goal is about 80 per cent," Berndt said. "Two goals is like 44 per cent …. If you have more than two goals, your odds of completing those things goes way down, so my recommendation is to pick one thing at a time and focus on that."

A recent study suggests you're also more likely to make exercise a long-term habit if you like the exercise. 

So, if you're looking to bring the spark back into your active life, here are some of last year's popular workouts and why you may want to add them to this year's routine.
