Sure, here's a rephrased version of your article:
Starting anew in 2022, there's a refreshing, hopeful vibe in the air. And we, over here at Greatist, are spreading some cautious optimism. We foresee a phenomenal year filled with health, wellness, and fitness trends that promote mindfulness, rest, growth, and reconnection.
How we arrived at these predictions
Staying ahead of health, fitness, and wellness trends is our forte, a skill honed through a deluge of emails, tireless reading, product testing, marketing events, and even some real-world shopping (finally, in 2021!). We also consulted heavyweights in the field, such as Pinterest Predicts 2022, the Fitt Insider newsletter, and ClassPass: Fitness and Beauty Trends 2022.
I. Wellness feat. Lifestyle
Holistic self-care will extend beyond its occasional role and become intrinsic to our identities. In light of the uncertainties and tensions of the contemporary world, it's become increasingly essential to take care of our bodies and minds. Instead of self-care as a chore, more people are adding a wellness touch to their everyday lives through the implementation of functional furniture, intuitive wearables, and thoughtfully designed clothing.
Brands to watch in 2022:- Resonate, a modern and chic seat and ottoman offering a meditative experience through vibration, light, and sound.- AGOGIE resistance band pants for quick errands, active recovery, and a hint of exercise with every step.- Fitbit's Daily Readiness Score, which empowers you to make informed decisions by assessing your sleep, heart rate, and daily activity levels (available with Fitbit Premium subscription).
II. Affordable Smart Fitness
Following Peloton's cost reduction, other smart fitness companies saw an opportunity. ClassPass notes that the demand for gym and group fitness workouts is surging once again. Digital fitness companies, in turn, will have to fight not only their peers but also real-life gyms to offer home gym equipment at reasonable prices.
Brands to watch in 2022:- Tempo Studio, whose smart mirror and physical weights provide AI feedback and a cost-effective alternative (Tempo Move).- Macvon, a budget-friendly smart home fitness company offering a sub-$800 65-inch touch-screen smart mirror and a competitive strength device.- Amazon Halo View, a user-friendly fitness watch with handy features and an affordable price tag (compatible with Amazon's Halo membership, which is merely $4 per month).
III. Making Peace with Periods
Upcoming periods will be more manageable and less stressful. Beyond fertility tracking, individuals are starting to monitor their cycles for better insights. Natural alternatives for period pain relief are also gaining traction, and while disposable tampons and pads remain popular, interest in sustainably-friendly alternatives as well, is on the rise.
Brands to watch in 2022:- PowerDot, which offers medication-free period pain relief through their high-end transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device.- Natural Cycles, a birth control method that utilizes temperature and cycle tracking, providing an alternative to hormonal options.- The Period Company, offering affordable period underwear with excellent absorbency and comfort.
IV. The Food Renaissance
The pursuit of reconnection through food will dominate 2022. As lockdowns lift, individuals are looking to rekindle old connections, and food evokes memories of shared experiences. Cooking, baking, and gardening will see a rise, as farm-to-table becomes the driving force behind our collective culinary consciousness.
Brands to watch in 2022:- The Farmstand, a hydroponic garden that delivers zero-effort, home-grown greens to novice gardeners in just three weeks.- Ninja, which continues to offer inexpensive yet reliable kitchen equipment for the budding chef.- Farmer Jones Farm, offering curated boxes filled with regeneratively-farmed veggies, raw honey, and flowers.
V. Customization
Gone are the days of generic health and wellness solutions. The "one size fits all" approach is losing ground as more consumers appreciate the unique characteristics of their bodies. Wellness experiences, supplements, and accessories tailored to each individual are becoming increasingly popular.
Brands to watch in 2022:- The Good Feet Store, a personalized orthotic footwear solution, welcoming everyone from new parents to fitness enthusiasts.- Viome, whose custom supplements are designed based on DNA analysis and gut microbiome results to improve overall wellbeing.- FlexIt, which offers one-of-a-kind virtual personal training sessions, tailored to your fitness level and needs, with no monthly subscription commitments.
