Fitness facilities should invest in less equipment, more space for natural movement exercise and well-educated and certified personal trainers. The top trend for 2015, says the American College of Sports Medicine's Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2015, is body weight training. Professional and experienced personal trainers had been the top trend for eight years, and now sits at No. 3, while high intensity interval training dropped to No. 2.
