BBX Looks Ahead to 2026 – With a Big Bhang!
As we close the chapter on 2025, we’re taking a moment to celebrate what has truly been a bumper year for BBX Bhangra Fitness 😊. It’s been a year full of growth, learning, movement, and—of course—plenty of bhangra beats. More importantly, it’s laid the foundations for what promises to be an even bigger and bolder 2026.
In 2025, one of our proudest achievements was expanding the BBX family. We successfully trained more BBX Instructors, doubling our team capacity and enabling us to reach more communities than ever before. This growth has been essential as demand for our joyful, high-energy Bhangra Fitness classes continues to rise.
Another major milestone was the delivery of the first phase of our Bhangra Fitness Study, in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton. This has been a hugely important step in formally exploring the health benefits of bhangra-based exercise. Even more exciting is that preliminary data from the study—due to be disseminated shortly—demonstrates a positive impact of our classes on human health. Seeing science validate what our participants feel every week has been incredibly rewarding.
2025 was also about getting out into the community. We started to deliver Bhangra Fitness classes in several gym settings, including Village Gyms and JD Gyms; we delivered Bhangra Blowout taster sessions in Wolverhampton and Solihull, giving new audiences a chance to experience BBX firsthand, and we’ve already lined up another session in Walsall. Alongside this, we launched our brand-new website, complete with three easy steps to help people find and book a BBX class near them—making it simpler than ever to get moving.
But if you think we’re slowing down, think again. 2026 is shaping up to be a big year, and we’re planning to launch it with a big bhang!
What’s coming in 2026..?
From 12th January 2026, we’re thrilled to announce that weekly BBX Bhangra Fitness classes will be running in Wolverhampton, Solihull, and Walsall. At the same time, the second phase of the Bhangra Fitness Study will commence, taking our research and impact even further.
We’ll also continue growing our instructor network with our next Practical Training Day on Sunday 8th February 2026, in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your love of bhangra into a career, visit our Become an Instructor page to find out more and sign up.
March brings another major highlight. National Dance Day 2026 – the fantastic national initiative created by the legendary Angela Rippon – falls on Sunday 8th March, and we’ll be celebrating in style with “The Big Brummie Bhangrathon”, coming soon to the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr, Birmingham—watch this space!
Finally, to support every fitness journey, we’re introducing many more features to our website, including new Pay As You Go and Pay Monthly options as standard, giving you the flexibility to commit fully or move at your own pace.
One more thing…
Watch out for news of an amazing secret project we’re working on! We’ll be releasing full details later in 2026!
Thank you to everyone who danced, trained, researched, and celebrated with us in 2025. Here’s to more movement, more science, more community, more fun —and a lot more bhangra—in 2026! 🕺🏽💃🏽
