3 top wellness trends to watch in 2025, from fitness communities and mindful eating to mushroom coffee
In the advent of artificial intelligence, cutting-edge wellness technology and a growing awareness of holistic health practices, there are now more ways than ever to get in, and stay in, tip-top shape
If you’re looking to supercharge your wellness routine beyond the usual advice about regular exercise, ample hydration and adequate shut-eye, we’ve rounded up three wellness trends that Hong Kong experts say will leave us feeling refreshed, moisturised and sharp for 2025.
1. Fitness communities
According to Max Woodward, a former professional rugby player and the co-founder of soon-to-open Quarry Gym inside the 1880 Hong Kong members’ club, the coming year will see a doubling-down on the aspect of community within fitness, as people seek physical connection in a post-pandemic world.
“We’ve seen this with the explosion of social running clubs and events such as Hyrox,” he says, referring to the global indoor fitness competition, which was founded in 2017 and held 65 races around the world in 2023 alone. Woodward expects that “larger group events such as run clubs, Padel and fitness challenges will continue [to gain] in popularity”.
