Certain fitness trends throughout history have gone on to become iconic signs of the times. For example, Richard Simmons will always be associated with the '80s. The quirky exercise class on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is quintessential '50s. And most people will mention SoulCycle and yoga when tasked with naming the workouts that dominated (and continue to dominate) the early 2000s.

So, what will the workout of 2018 be? It's probably too soon to predict exactly what this year will be remembered for, but there are certainly some trends that are about to blow up. To get you ready for the new year upon us, we asked top trainers to give their fitness forecast for the future.

These are the workouts, trends, and classes that you can expect to see in 2018.
