The BWI Score, on a scale of 1-10, establishes the composition of muscle mass gained, total fat lost when compared with age and gender normative values against World Health Organization data.
Members who combined three training components – training/nutrition coaching, wearable fitness tech and at least four Evolt 360 body scans in a six-month period – realized a 5% increase in muscle mass and 4% body fat decrease – plus 97% reported feeling an overall improvement in their personal health.

Additional 2022 Highlights
Anytime Fitness
Anytime Fitness has been both one of the fastest-growing franchises and fastest-growing health club brands in history. Between 2013 and 2022, an Anytime Fitness club opened somewhere in the world every 19 hours.
Anytime Fitness members enjoy global reciprocity, where they can access any club across 35 countries. Every day, over 50,000 members use a different Anytime Fitness club than the one they joined. In 2022, Australia was the top country for reciprocal use; 40% of members use different Anytime Fitness clubs each month.
Basecamp Fitness:
Effective and efficient is in the DNA of Basecamp Fitness, a high intensity interval training (HIIT) studio concept. While a 2020 U.S. Department of Health study found American adults averaged less than 50 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous exercise, the average Basecamp member more than doubled this key metric in 2022. Additionally, Basecamp’s proprietary mobile app, in partnership with Apple, tracked over 500,000 workouts amongst its members in 2022, who burned a combined 200 million calories.
The Bar Method:
The Bar Method is the most targeted and effective barre workout in the market. The studio brand hit a milestone last year of 1 million unique clients served since its inception, plus as compared to pre-pandemic levels, clubs saw an 18% increase in 2022 classes taken per client over 2019.
Stronger U:
Stronger U, the virtual health and nutrition service which Self Esteem Brands acquired in 2021, also showed evidence of improvements in health and wellness outcomes. In 2022, nine out of 10 Stronger U members who completed weekly check-ins for 3 months reported an improvement in their body composition, increased confidence, and felt the program prepared them for long term success better than other weight loss programs. The average Stronger U member lost 15 pounds in their first 12 weeks.
Waxing the City:
Waxing the City is the personal beauty and wellness brand in our portfolio. It offers a best-in-class service platform, with a 94% overall satisfaction rate among clients.
