The days of stodgy, one-color-fits-all gym shorts and analog stopwatches and step-counters are rapidly disappearing.
Cropping up in their stead are products—entire categories in some cases—of stylish, sophisticated, state-of-the-art fitness products, like precisely engineered running shoes, digital fitness trackers, and “smart” activewear and sporting goods.
Fitness apparel and equipment have gone sleek and savvy, and the industry—as well as consumers—will never be the same.
A continuation of Field Agent’s 2017 Healthy Living Series, the mini-report “Fitness Retail: Fashion & Tech” details the growing trend toward sleek fitness apparel and savvy fitness/athletic technology.
