How to Unlock New Body Types in NBA 2K26

To unlock new body types for your MyPLAYER, you need to work out at the Gatorade Training Facility in The City. Head inside and complete different exercises on the available machines. There are a few rules to keep in mind before you start exercising:
- You can only perform four exercises every seven days.
- You must earn Excellent ratings on your drills to unlock new body types.
- If you do not unlock a new body type within those four attempts, you will need to wait seven days to try again.
- Track progress by opening the My Workout Checklist inside the facility, press LB (or R2 / ZR).
- You begin with the Firm body type and can unlock others like Large as you meet the requirements.
Tip: I recommend that you schedule your gym visits around your weekly reset, keep your four drills focused on exercises you perform best at, and chase Excellent ratings to unlock new body types faster.
