A 2025 SFIA report reveals 80% of Americans—about 241 million people—engaged in sport or fitness activities last year, the highest since tracking began in 2008. Popular activities include pickleball (up 45.8%), Pilates (nearly 40% increase over five years), and a $1.6 billion boxing gym market, highlighting a nationwide focus on holistic health.

In response, luxury developments are incorporating high-end athletic amenities like boxing gyms, pickleball courts, HIIT studios, and watersports docks. These communities prioritize active lifestyles — viewing athleticism as the new spirituality — offering residents spaces to play, recover, and connect at home.

Leading examples demonstrate that wellness now encompasses how people move, heal, and build community, redefining luxury living.
