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 A6, which can be reached quickly via the East Entrance.
