Healthy lifestyles in Indonesia have undergone a significant evolution. People are no longer limited to standard fitness routines like jogging or gym workouts, but have begun shifting to activities that blend physical health with elements of competition and social interaction.
One of the most prominent phenomena is the rising enthusiasm for HYROX. This high-intensity sport has become a new favorite for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy a combination of running and functional weight training. Its challenging competition format and global standards make it a magnet for those seeking a more measurable workout experience.
On the other hand, community-based sports continue to hold a special place. Padel, which exploded last year, remains a top choice for urbanites in major cities due to its strong social aspect. Meanwhile, the popularity of running—both road running in the form of marathons and trail running in the mountains—continues to show a steady upward trend as both a lifestyle and a networking tool.
For those who prefer low-impact sports (low impact), pilates remains a favorite option, especially among working-age women seeking to improve posture. In addition, pickleball is now starting to attract interest across various age groups as a more affordable, easy-to-play, and beginner-friendly alternative to tennis.
Although the cycling euphoria is no longer as intense as during the pandemic, cycling and MTB communities still maintain a solid member base and regular activities. This shift in trends reflects the desire of the Indonesian people to seek variety in maintaining fitness while fulfilling the needs of a modern urban lifestyle.
