A5, A6: Health and Fitness

• Sports business professionals, including retailers, trainers and coaches, physiotherapists, doctors, and sports medicine specialists.
• Employees in HR within corporate healthcare management, from health insurance companies and providers, and from (public) institutions within the healthcare sector.

Anyone keen to take a more gentle and holistic approach to health and fitness will be well aware of the popularity of yoga, pilates, and aerobics. This sector of the industry is put in the spotlight in the Body and Mind focus area in hall A5 of the fitness and health fair. All sports professionals attending the trade fair will also be able to find the newest products in athleisure, activewear, performance underwear, and sports bras.

Thanks to a young urban target group, we have seen the emergence of modern fitness training in the lifestyle of athletes in the city. Public parks have been turned in outdoor gyms as classic training has evolved into CrossFit, urban running, functional training, and sports such as Parkour, all of which have quickly come to be the fashionable calling cards of on-trend sporty types. The sports industry has responded to this trend by producing clothing, footwear, and accessories aimed at this target group known for keeping up with the latest trends.

Presentations and talks by and with international experts and well-known athletes guarantee an exciting exchange of knowledge. The live training sessions also ensure a large number of visitors in Halls A5 and A6, which can be reached quickly via the East Entrance.

The fitness boom we are currently witnessing shows no sign of stopping. The record number of active gym memberships in Germany – over ten million to be precise – and the growing number of fitness and running groups that convene in open spaces in towns and cities every day to train together are proof enough of this.

Buyers and retailers from the fitness sector can expect to find all the key trends on show at ISPO Munich. With everything from training and performance diagnostics to rehabilitation and taping covered, all the major companies in the industry will come together to form the Health and Fitness cluster.

Whether it’s training on fitness machines, training with weights, circuit and athletics training, boxercise, gymnastics, or running, efforts are constantly being made to improve and refine all of the classics from the fitness industry that have traditionally proven popular with customers. With the growing home fitness market and conventional gym sector forming the backbone of the industry, one area in hall A6 will be devoted to side events and speeches about fitness trends. For the first time ISPO Munich bundles here young brands on an ISPO Easy platform.
