The "New Year - New You" rush to join a gym may not be happening in the same way this year.

As the pandemic raged and gyms and fitness centres were forced to close, the Fitness Tech industry boomed and is now becoming many people's preferred option.

Everything from meditation apps, fitness watches to track your steps, to WiFi enabled bathroom scales are all part of this thriving industry but some consumers wanted more.

They were looking for new ways to maintain or improve their fitness.

Celebrity video workouts and running round the park lacked the sense of social connection and interaction they would get at the gym.

This is where Fitness Tech stepped up to the plate.

Jeremy Needham is a Liteboxing instructor.

The ability to create a sense of community and connectivity even though just virtually has meant massive financial gains for the Fitness Tech industry.

Richard Kowalski is Director of Industry Analysis at the Consumer Technology Association.

Everything from boxing to spinning and even rowing is available as a connected Fitness Tech activity for everyone, from the beginner to former Olympians.

Aquil Abdullah is a former US Olympic rowing team member, who loves the connection with other rowers.

The equipment may not be cheap but if you have the money and time, and space at home for it, you too could be joining a tech world of fitness.

However, remember you still have to put in the work, and just like your gym membership you'll only get fitter if you use it.
