Wellness is finally moving away from extremes - and we’re here for it. The biggest shifts we’re seeing aren’t about quick fixes or aesthetics, but about building strength, energy and longevity through simple, sustainable habits.

Here are the wellness trends we love - and why they align so beautifully with the Body Project way of moving and living.

Protein as a Daily Foundation

Protein has moved beyond fitness circles and into everyday wellness. Prioritising protein supports steady energy, appetite regulation, muscle maintenance and healthy ageing, especially for women.

Rather than focusing on restriction, centring meals around quality protein helps reduce cravings and supports recovery from training in a way that feels sustainable.

Quick Tip:
Prioritising protein at breakfast can set your energy and blood sugar up for the day.

Strength Training Becomes Non-Negotiable

The shift away from purely aesthetic workouts towards strength for longevity is one of the healthiest trends we’ve seen. Resistance training supports bone density, metabolic health, hormone balance and functional strength - particularly important through perimenopause and beyond. This is why we add in weights to our pilates-based workouts to bring you the most effective workouts.

Quick Tip:
You don’t need long or heavy gym sessions. Short, focused strength workouts using light weights - especially when done consistently - are incredibly effective. Head to the STRENGTH category to pick your next weights class!

Fibre for Gut Health, Hormones & Longevity

Fibre is finally getting the attention it deserves. A diverse, fibre-rich diet supports gut health, hormone balance, cholesterol and even mood - yet most people still aren’t getting enough. This renewed focus on fibre is a big win for long-term health.

Quick Tip:
Aim to include a variety of plants across meals - vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains and seeds.

From Anti-Ageing to Longevity

The language around wellness is shifting and it matters. Instead of “anti-ageing,” the focus is now on longevity, vitality and health span. It’s about supporting the body as it ages, not fighting it. Strength training, mindful movement, nutrition, sleep and stress management form the foundation - not expensive or extreme interventions.

Quick Tip:
Start with the basics. Consistent strength and pilates training, daily walks, nourishing food, quality sleep and stress awareness will always outperform quick fixes.

The Body Project Takeaway

As we move into 2026, the most impactful wellness routines will be the ones that compound over time:

• Consistent strength training

• Regular pilates (mindful movement)

• Sleep you protect like an appointment

• Protein, plants and fibre at most meals

• Recovery and mindfulness built into your week

Wellness should support your life - not consume it. That’s the philosophy behind everything we create at Body Project.
