This year’s Index also identified five wellness trends to watch in 2023, including the wellness collective, dirty wellness, women wellness, functional fitness, and the wellness generation and shared what trended in fitness and wellness in 2022 in its ClassPass and Mindbody Look Back Report.
As part of its annual Wellness Index, Mindbody ranked the most densely populated U.S. cities from most healthy to least healthy based on its “seven dimensions of wellness”—physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, social, and occupational. To calculate the annual ranking, Mindbody surveyed over 17,000 adults in the 50 most populated U.S. cities and ranked those cities from healthiest to least healthy through its proprietary scoring algorithm.
