The 2021 health trends were shaped, in large part, by the COVID-19 pandemic, which upended the healthcare routines of people around the world. Many were forced to adopt new workout regimens, while others prioritized their health via innovative monitoring devices, experimental supplements, and/or mental-health apps. As a result, at-home fitness platforms, immune-boosting supplements, and anti-microbial innovations all emerged as major trends last year.
Of course, home fitness innovations continued to be bountiful in 2021. Tempo launched 'Tempo Move,' an affordable, iPhone-powered home gym that provides real-time training guidance and precision fitness tracking technology. Meanwhile, Echelon unveiled the 'EX-8s Connect Bike,' a hyper-futuristic at-home fitness bike with a 24-inch touchscreen.
Elsewhere, countless alternative health-tracking wearables were launched, highlighting a new consumer desire for personalized health-related data. For example, Fitbit made headlines with the launch of its future-forward 'Charge 5,' while Movano debuted the 'Mavono Ring,' a discreet health-tracking wearable with an affordable price tag.
