The aim of the current study was to identify the main trends for the year 2021 in Colombia with the findings of the national survey carried out the previous year and with the Spanish and international rankings for 2021. The information was obtained through a survey online replicating the methodology developed by the American College of Sports Medicine in international surveys on trends in fitness. The questionnaire was sent to 3,800 professionals from different sports departments and regions of Colombia, obtaining a total of 1,700 responses (response rate of 32.07%). The results place in the top 5 of trends in Colombia: “online training”, “exercise apps”, “exercise programs against children and adolescent obesity”, “exercise programs for populations with diseases” and “fitness programs for older adults ”. Within the top 20 there are 14 trends that coincide with the national survey of the previous year, with slight changes in position; 11 equivalences with the Spanish ranking and 9 with the 2021 international survey ranking. The results show a relevance of the practice of physical activity for health and well-being-oriented purposes, as well as a growing interest in the use of technology in the fitness sector.
