What’s New at Pritikin for 2026
Wellness Recovery Experience
Recovery is an essential part of healthy aging and physical performance. Our new Wellness Recovery Experience is a guided session designed to support mobility, circulation, flexibility, and overall restoration. Combining technologies and techniques such as Power Plate activation, Rapid Release therapy, facilitated stretching, and Game Ready® cold compression, the experience helps guests recover from exercise, reduce tension, improve movement quality, and leave feeling rejuvenated.
Expanded Fitness Programming & Assessments
We’ve expanded our fitness offerings with new Core and Strength classes, enhanced assessments, and experiences designed to support a wider range of interests, abilities, and health goals. With a greater emphasis on functional fitness, guests can build strength, balance, mobility, and stability through options ranging from Core and Strength classes to Tai Chi, Cosmic Sound Healing Meditation, and Brain-Body Balance & Stability.
New Mobility and Functional Aging Measures
New assessments including the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test and the 10-Meter Walk Test will help evaluate important indicators of functional aging, such as lower-body power, mobility, walking speed, and overall physical function. These measures are widely recognized as predictors of independence, quality of life, and healthy aging. Tracking these metrics provides valuable insights into how effectively guests can perform everyday activities and maintain an active lifestyle as they age.
Expanded Cognitive Health Screening & Assessments
As part of our growing focus on longevity, Pritikin is expanding cognitive health screening and assessments to provide deeper insight into memory, attention, processing speed, executive function, and other important aspects of brain health. These new offerings help us better understand and support cognitive function while strengthening our whole-person approach to healthy aging.
New Executive Chef
Our new Executive Chef, Valmore I. Brown, CEC, CCE brings fresh energy and creativity to the dining experience at Pritikin. Through innovative recipes and culinary techniques, he continues to demonstrate that healthy eating can be both nutritious and exceptionally flavorful. Guests can enjoy new menu offerings that support their health goals while elevating the overall dining experience that has long been a hallmark of the Pritikin program.
Handgrip Strength Assessment
Handgrip strength is increasingly recognized as one of the most important indicators of overall physical health, functional capacity, and healthy aging. This simple assessment provides valuable insight into muscle function, physical resilience, and long-term health outcomes. By including handgrip strength testing, Pritikin can better evaluate a guest's overall strength profile and identify opportunities to preserve mobility, independence, and quality of life as they age.
