Issue No.143:  21,612 visits. One extraordinary year.

How We Grew Healthier, Stronger, Happier & Younger, Together!

2025 has been a year of extraordinary transformation at Be Well.

Together, we created measurable improvements in strength, mood, mobility, recovery and connection.

Here is the story of what YOU achieved this year.

 We show up!
Members visited Be Well 21,612 times in 2025, an average of 1,801 visits every month.

 If every visit were a step, you collectively walked from Melbourne to Sydney and back eight times.

 And most importantly:
9 in 10 members say they feel noticeably better after their first three months at Be Well.

“I’ve tried lots of gyms over the years, but this feels completely different – calm, welcoming and guided. No loud music, no intimidation. Just real support.”

– Be Well Member

And our busiest time of day?

 1:00 pm — Be Well’s Golden Hour.

 Movement momentum 

Compared to 2024, members participated in far more types of exercise, including strength, mobility, balance, functional training, bone density, Pilates progressions and breathwork.

 Class attendance rose 50%

From 2 to 3 visits per week, the equivalent of 52 extra classes per person per year.

 And the impact?

• Pain with functional tasks dropped significantly

• Balance improved across the community

• Movement confidence skyrocketed

• Members moved more often and more diversely.

 “Having a proper assessment and a 12-week roadmap has been a game changer. I don’t feel lost anymore, I know exactly what I’m working towards.”
– Be Well Member

 Mental wellbeing 
2025 saw a remarkable increase in members:

• prioritising their mental wellbeing

• investing in self-care

• showing emotional resilience

• reporting improved mood and clarity

• reducing daily stress levels

 Community mood uplift:
An estimated 10–15% reduction in daily stress load across members.

“As someone over 40, I love that everything here is designed with us in mind. I feel stronger, more mobile and honestly younger than I have in years.”

– Be Well Member

 Recovery power

Members logged 2,681 hours in Recovery in 2025.
Let’s put that into perspective…

 That’s the equivalent of 112 days of the year spent restoring your bodies.
Or 30% of an entire waking year devoted to recovery.

Of those hours:

• 1,376 hours were spent in the Infrared Sauna

• Compression Massage Therapy was second-most booked. 
  
  “It feels like having a health retreat in the middle of my week. I can train, recover, see allied health and reset my mind all in one place.”
  – Be Well Member

 Prevention 

Physiotherapy and Clinical Psychology remained our highest-booked services, with members investing 386 hours of allied health.

Members used our allied health services to:

• heal injuries

• build movement confidence

• improve posture

• manage stress and anxiety

• reduce pain

• build long-term resilience

Remedial Massage represented 64% of all massage bookings, showing the link between strength + recovery + pain-free movement.

“The clinical and rehab classes and attention to detail make me feel really safe. The instructors actually watch my form and adjust things for my body.”
– Be Well Member

 Strength transformation 

Members using HUR reversed 5–10 years of age-related muscle decline.

Biggest improvements:

• Hip Extension: +27%

• Core Strength: +26%

• Shoulder External Rotation: +25.8%

• Leg Press: +20%

These are the muscles that determine independence, posture, balance and longevity.

Grip strength improved equivalent to stopping 2–3 years of natural age-related decline.

“At 55, I’m stronger than I was at 35. I didn’t think that was possible.”
– Be Well Member

We also expanded our strength ecosystem with:

• Olympic bars

• Additional discs

• Upgraded Be Strong classes

• Launched the Be Well Bone Strong program.

• A Rebounder

 Community connection
Be Well offered 3 events every month, a 50% increase from last year.

That’s a new chance to connect every 10 days.

Events included:

• Women’s Circles

• Yoga Nidra

• Soundbath

• Art of Living

• Be Well In Conversations 

“I came for the classes, but I stayed because I feel like I actually belong here.”
– Be Well Member

 And with 50 newsletters / year you gained a new health and longevity insight almost every week of the year.

 The real story the data tells us

• Moved more

• Recovered more

• Connected more

• Reduced pain

• Grew stronger

• Lifted your mood
