Built from aerospace-grade aluminum, these lightweight bars attach to a durable strap and come with a workout app to let users bring leg, arm, chest, core, and total body workouts anywhere. With an elegantly simple yet versatile design, the Monkii Bars 2 can easily be used both indoors (on a door frame, for example) and outdoors (on a tree limb in a park or on a signpost in the city). Monkii Bars 2 also connects to an app that teaches users over 250 exercises and lets them geotag great exercise locations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Fitness Equipment:** The rise of portable fitness equipment like Monkii Bars 2 provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fitness industry. - **App-integrated Workout Accessories:** The integration of workout accessories with smartphone apps creates a potential for disruptive innovation in the fitness tech market. - **Location-based Exercise Solutions:** The development of exercise solutions that leverage geotagging and outdoor environments presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fitness industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fitness Equipment:** The fitness equipment industry can explore the production and advancement of portable workout accessories. - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can capitalize on the integration of apps with workout accessories, providing personalized fitness experiences. - **Fitness Tech:** The fitness tech industry can develop location-based exercise solutions that enhance outdoor workout experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Total Body Workout Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-portable-gym.md) - [All-in-One Portable Gym Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympus-grip.md) - [At-Home Smart Pull-Up Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grip.md) - [Plug-and-Play Workout Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-gym.md) - [Pocket-Sized Workout Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unitree-pump.md) - [Modern Calisthenics Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calisthenics-kit.md) - [All-In-One Fitness Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitness-solutions.md) - [All-in-One Doorway Gym Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorway-gym.md) - [Sleek Tension-Mounted Gyms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kensui.md)
