IT’S the time of year when fitness is at the forefront of our minds. I - along with most people I know - am starting to feel the effects of weeks of overindulging during the festive period. And everywhere I look - be it on Instagram or the Tube - adverts for new gym classes, protein-rich meal supplements and workout wear are being thrust upon me.

In January 2024, 43 per cent of Brits made a new year’s resolution to lose weight, while a separate study found that 17 per cent of those gave up on their diets within the first month. In the celeb world, weight loss was a big talking point in 2024, and Ozempic was the buzzword on everyone’s lips.

Scores of stars showing off quick and often dramatic weight losses on the red carpet led to rumours swirling about who did and didn’t use weight loss jabs to get their thinner frames. But, according to experts, 2025 looks set to be more about serious fitness rather than serious fat loss.

Stars from all four corners of the globe - including Sydney Sweeney, Sabrina Carpenter and Katy Perry - are now promoting the ‘strong not skinny’ physique that gained popularity a decade ago - and we’re very much on board with it. Here, we reveal the five most popular celebrity workouts of 2025.

REFORMER PILATES. Best for: Long, lean limbs and chiselled abs. It’s the go-to workout for everyone from Sydney Sweeney to Kendall Jenner, and reformer Pilates has become increasingly popular among the rich, beautiful, and famous - and for good reason. Using a specialised machine called a reformer, which allows you to work isolated muscle groups, it’s one of the best exercises for improving flexibility and overall body conditioning - in other words, toning specific body parts, like the abs and bum.
