The Workout Warrior Badge in NBA 2K26 is one of the most valuable badges in the game for your MyPLAYER. It unlocks all body types across saves and offers your player a permanent turbo boost, making it frequently likened to the iconic Gym Rat badge.
If you want to maximize stamina and stay on the court longer, unlocking Workout Warrior should be one of your first goals.
How Do You Unlock Workout Warrior in NBA 2K26?
To unlock the Workout Warrior Badge, you'll need to complete the Workout Warrior Quest. Here's what it requires:
Complete all 12 unique workouts at the Gatorade Gym.
- This features the new 3v3 mini game as well as agility exercises and lifting tasks.
- You can only do 4 workouts per in-game week, meaning it will take at least three weeks to finish all 12 unique workouts.
- You must finish each workout at least once; repeating the same one won't count towards your progress.
Reach a 99 Stamina Rating.
- Your MyPLAYER starts with 85 Stamina.
- As you complete the 12 essential workouts, your stamina will automatically increase to 99, as each workout adds 2 stamina points.
- Since stamina can't be upgraded manually in NBA 2K26, the gym is the only way to raise this attribute.
- Once both these requirements are met, you'll unlock the Workout Warrior Badge.
