The long-term ultimate goal of the sport of aerobic gymnastics is to be included in the Olympic Games.

In the rest of the world, the sport continues to evolve with numerous successful events being held with high-level athletes, judges and coaches being present.

The competitive aerobic gymnastics are governed by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG).
