From portable resistance training devices to standing desk balance boards, the October 2017 fitness trends reveal that consumers are looking for more ways to workout on the go.
One way in which consumers are stepping up their fitness game is by turning their workplace into a temporary gym. This is possible thanks to innovative new products like the Pono Board, which allows users to strengthen their core while working at a standing desk.
However, it is not just the workplace that is seeing itself transformed by a new generation of fitness-focused consumers. Indeed, the October 2017 fitness trends reveal that the outdoors is also a popular place for consumers to fit in a quick workout on their way to someplace else. This is thanks to portable exercise products such as the SYWOS One, which allow consumers to focus on strength and resistance training wherever they may be.
