When I started my journey a decade ago, I had access to a few local gyms where the footfall was male-dominated, and my routine comprises only rigorous cardio and core workouts. I was never introduced to weight training until I brought it up to my trainer. However, in the last four years, my routine has changed drastically; I now prefer taking my yoga sessions online thrice a week and choose from pilates and pole dancing for the weekend when I have the flexibility to step out and spare a couple of hours. It's enough to realise that from its nascent beginning in the early '90s to aughts, the Indian fitness industry has undergone a comprehensive evolution.
From local gyms to manicured fitness centres and online coaching to the boom in the number of fitness apps, the current fitness ecosystem has gone through a phenomenal change. According to a report published by Stratview Research, 'the Indian wellness and fitness industry is set to grow in double digits' due to several different factors like technological advancement and availability of different modes to work out. But has it become difficult for the fitness consumer to navigate through this busy space? "There is more misinformation regarding fitness but what is great though is that people are willing to learn. India has started its wellness climb," says Avinash Mansukhani, owner of FTS Fitness, and body recomposition and transformation specialist.
