The topic I am sharing with you today is all about diets and workouts. I am doing this because as I sifted through the information I saw diets I have tried and loved as well as some that I tried and hated. I also found workouts that I REALLY tried to get into that groove and I found a variety of workouts lacking. I did find some that I absolutely love and some that I have been using for several years.
This article will be split into two parts so that you have time to go over the information below from Garden’s Alive and don’t have to read it all at once.
When I started writing online, I started contributing articles about various workouts and fitness pros. I did a lot of it. I had interviewed and/or reviewed so many fitness pros: 3 G’s, Karen Voight, founders of Body Pump, Kari Anderson (who I loved and I bought every single video she had created), Cathe Friedrich, Petra Kolber, Lisa Gaylord, Tracie Long, Burr Leonard, Elisabeth Halfpapp (and her husband), Billy Blanks, Mari Winsor, Valerie Waters, Pepper Vonn, Greg Twombly, Misty Tripoli, Gin Miller, Shaun T, Janis Saffel, and lots more.
The point I am making is that there are lots of different workouts and lots of different fitness pros. Over time, I will share with you the range of fitness workouts I have done. I am currently doing a lot right now: mini-trampolines (AKA rebounders), weights, Pilates table, Pilates chair, P-Volve, BeachBody workouts, Swerve Fitness, Ballet Beautiful, Barre Amped , and Pound workouts, floor work (planks, and other exercises). I love the variety. I walk every day and I also ride a stationary bike twice a day.
You can see I am COMMITTED.
The Most Popular Boutique Workout and Fad Diet in Every U.S. State
Part 1 deals with workouts! Part 2 (in a separate post) is about fad diets!
There are seemingly countless ways people choose to stay active and healthy, but how do these approaches to health and fitness vary across state lines?
That’s the question the team at Garden’s Alive set out to answer when they used Google Trends data to find the most popular boutique workout and fad diet in every state.
Here’s what they found:
With all of the different workout crazes and fad diets that are constantly capturing the public’s attention, there are seemingly countless ways to stay active and healthy in this day and age. But if the sheer amount of options feels overwhelming, it might help to just see what the American’s most popular picks are. From workout programs such as Cyclebar and Body Combat to diets like clean eating or keto, we found out how people’s opinions of these different approaches to health and fitness vary across state lines.
Methodology
To accomplish this task, we first created a keyword list made up of 27 boutique workouts and 26 fad diet search terms that were either observed or found on popular websites (Elle, Upper Hand, Brides.com, Wikipedia, Everyday Health, Healthline). We then looked at the Google Trends data from December 2020 to December 2021 for each of these key terms to see hard numbers regarding their search volume by state. We took the most searched to mean most popular.
Definitions:
-
- Boutique workouts are trendy group fitness classes and styles that typically specialize in one or two areas of fitness.
- Fad diets are named, trendy diets or diet programs that typically claim to help people lose weight or become healthier very quickly.
The Most Popular Boutique Workout in Every U.S. State
We’ve come quite a long way from the days of Richard Simmons, with more intense (and intensely-named) programs showing up all over our results. But while every other workout plan is “crunch” this or “pound” that, it seems as though not everyone has fully embraced the extreme. Jazzercise, a fitness program with a household name, is a fun combination of exercise and dance that dates all the way back to 1969, yet it’s still the most popular fitness program in Nebraska and Vermont.
Speaking of intensity, fighting-based workouts seem to be very “in” right now, as programs like UFC Gym, Body Combat, and Title Boxing Club are the most popular workout programs in at least one state each. But no other style of boutique workout was as popular as..the ones shown below in the next image!
The Most Popular Boutique Workout Overall
Bicycling-based regimes are the most popular style of boutique workout nationwide. With Everesting, Cyclebar, and Peloton all placing within our top eight, the average person is still turning to the bike more often than anything else when it’s time to shape up.
Just because something is trendy doesn’t mean it can’t make a big impact in its likely short lifespan. For example, Peloton, which is the most popular boutique workout in five states, was founded in just 2012 and is already worth over 9 billion dollars as of January 2022.
The boutique workout that is the most popular, in a high of six states, isn’t based on cycling, however. Burn Boot Camp is a fitness facility with locations nationwide, but it’s not like your average Planet Fitness or Gold’s Gym. Burn Boot Camp locations offer 45-minute classes instead of open exercise equipment, and the company as a whole was founded to support women specifically. However, there are some sessions each day that are open to men, so everyone can get their burn on!
Lots of information on working out.. read it again and think about it applies to you! More to come about diets for tomorrow!
