According to P&S Intelligence, North America dominated the online fitness market in the preceding years, due to the high smartphone and internet penetration and massive public awareness about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle in the region.

Online Fitness Market Growth Prospects, Key Vendors, and Future Scenario

Moreover, the surging affordability and popularity of smart wearable devices will also encourage the adoption of online fitness platforms in the region in the coming years. Whereas, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to adopt online fitness platforms at the highest rate in the forthcoming years.
