Top 50 Sports Trends in December

From Urban Runner Hubs to Moody Hybrid Fitness Venues

Much of the December 2025 sports round-up is focused on fitness activations, compact product releases for at-home use, and performance-driven athletic gear.

Runner's Bases in Seoul, South Korea, are a great example of the first category. Designed to accommodate the 10 million+ runners in the country, the Seoul Metropolitan Government transformed unused subway station spaces into hubs to accommodate this demographic.

Aviron's Abs Hero Core Trainer is an excellent example of the second category. Designed to function as an interactive platform for core muscle exercises, the product is excellent for use at home.

The December 2025 sports round-up also calls attention to many outerwear and gear releases — from lululemon's Athlete Kit for Team Canada at the Milano Cortina 2026 Games to Oakley's Team Collection.
