New Fitness Tech Whitepaper by Coherent Solutions

While the global fitness market is on track to surpass $257 billion, and brands are expanding globally, pioneering new regions, and implementing new technologies, the report highlights the most effective growth trajectory in acknowledging the importance of technology as equal to supporting the fitness community.

"Most people only spend 3–5 hours a week in a gym. That leaves 160+ hours where their choices and habits are influenced by digital touchpoints within what we call the Human Performance Economy. Modernization is about extending engagement into their lives,” said Igor Epshteyn, CEO of Coherent Solutions.

Success stems from building ecosystems instead of piling on equipment that is disconnected from member motivation and personal goals. Wearables, content, and club experiences should blend into a hybrid approach where technology enables the human experience.

“The long-term impact comes from connecting ecosystems, replacing individual gadgets. Link your home, your gym, your apps, and your workplace wellness program together into a continuous life experience,” said Karl Sandberg, Director of Delivery.

The findings distill the biggest moves shaping the future of fitness:

Hybrid is the new baseline for member expectations
Digital ecosystems of clubs, apps, wearables, and coaching
Retention pressure and how personalization helps fix it
Privacy and trust as deciding factors for consumers
Investor attention to predictable value

The report speaks to club operators, enterprise fitness platforms, and investors who want a clearer view of what sustainable digital value creation looks like.
