They noticed some really neat shifts in workout trends, and the Fitbit Activity Index™ was born.
The Fitbit Activity Index™ compiles some of the most popular activities of the moment and offers a clear picture of emerging fitness trends. Not only will you get confirmation that your running routine is still cool, you’ll also walk away with tons of new fitness ideas to try—plus, tips on getting started and staying motivated!

Yoga is the Most Popular Group Activity
Despite the popularity of high-intensity workouts, such as bootcamp and indoor cycling classes, yoga ranks highest among group fitness activities for Fitbit users.
