Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WW International, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. The terms “Company” and “WW” as used throughout these notes are used to indicate WW International, Inc. and all of its operations consolidated for purposes of its financial statements. The Company’s “Digital” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s digital product offerings, including Personal Coaching + Digital and Digital 360 (as applicable). The Company’s “Workshops + Digital” business refers to providing unlimited access to the Company’s workshops combined with the Company’s digital subscription product offerings to commitment plan subscribers, including former Digital 360 members as applicable. It also includes the provision of access to workshops for members who do not subscribe to commitment plans, including the Company’s “pay-as-you-go” members. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company ceased offering its Digital 360 product. More than a majority of associated members were transitioned from the Company’s Digital business to its Workshops + Digital business during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, with a de minimis number transitioning during the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The cessation of this product offering and these transitions of former Digital 360 members at the then-current pricing for such product impacted the number of End of Period Subscribers in each business as well as the associated Paid Weeks and Revenues for each business. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. All entities acquired, and any entity of which a majority interest was acquired, are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the remaining 20 % interest in Vigilantes do Peso Marketing Ltda. was transferred to the Company in a cashless exchange, resulting in the reclassification of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to equity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In fiscal 2022, the Company identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to income tax errors resulting primarily from the reversal of (i) a basis difference related to goodwill and other intangibles and (ii) a U.S. federal income tax receivable that should have been adjusted in prior fiscal years. The impact of correcting these errors, which were immaterial to prior period financial statements and corrected in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, resulted in an income tax benefit of $ 2,150 and decreased net loss attributable to the Company by $ 2,150 . In fiscal 2020, the Company identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to income tax errors resulting from income tax receivables that should have been adjusted in prior fiscal years. The impact of correcting these errors, which were immaterial to prior period financial statements and corrected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, increased the provision for income taxes by $ 2,278 and decreased net income attributable to the Company by $ 2,278 .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 st and consists of either 52 or 53-week periods. Fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 each contained 52 weeks and fiscal 2020 contained 53 weeks. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, revenue, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from these estimates. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity. Translation of Foreign Currencies For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the translation of intercompany receivables and intercompany payables with the Company’s international subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other expense, net, unless the receivable or payable is considered long-term in nature, in which case the foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Cash includes balances due from third-party credit card companies. Inventories Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis, net of reserves for obsolescence and shrinkage. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ( 3 to 10 years ). Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the related assets. Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 17 , $ 5 and $ 62 , respectively, related to internal-use computer software that was not expected to provide substantive service potential. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 758 , $ 516 and $ 1,310 , respectively, related to property, plant and equipment that were expected to be disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives. In fiscal 2022, the Company recorded lease asset impairment charges of $ 2,680 in the aggregate. See Note 4 for further information on the Company’s leases. Franchise Rights Acquired Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year . Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for franchise rights related to the Company’s Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for franchise rights related to the Company’s Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for franchise rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for these rights. The Company has determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 374,353 , $ 4,232 , $ 2,666 , and $ 2,432 , respectively, which represented 97.6 %, 1.1 %, 0.7 % and 0.6 %, respectively, of total franchise rights acquired as of December 31, 2022 of $ 383,683 . The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 698,383 , $ 60,117 , $ 12,187 , $ 6,529 and $ 4,840 , respectively, which represented 89.3 %, 7.7 %, 1.6 %, 0.8 % and 0.6 %, respectively, of total franchise rights acquired as of January 1, 2022 of $ 782,056 . In its hypothetical start-up approach analyses for fiscal 2022, the Company assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, the Company estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach analyses for fiscal 2022, the cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Goodwill In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 104,019 , $ 39,547 and $ 12,432 , respectively, which represented 66.7 %, 25.3 % and 8.0 %, respectively, of total goodwill as of December 31, 2022 of $ 155,998 . The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 105,121 , $ 42,409 and $ 9,844 , respectively, which represented 66.8 %, 26.9 % and 6.3 %, respectively, of total goodwill as of January 1, 2022 of $ 157,374 . In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of the Company’s reporting units, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Impairment Tests The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed its annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, based on triggering events, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022 on certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2022 on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. See Note 7 for further information regarding the results of the franchise rights acquired and goodwill annual impairment tests, the franchise rights acquired interim impairment test for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the franchise rights acquired and goodwill interim impairment tests for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Other Intangible Assets Other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years . The Company expenses all software costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalizes all internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development has reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 3 years for website development costs and from 3 to 5 years for all other software costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which do not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. The Company earns revenue from subscriptions for its digital products and by conducting workshops, for which it charges a fee, predominantly through commitment plans, as well as prepayment plans or the “pay-as-you-go” arrangement. The Company also earns revenue by selling consumer products online through its e-commerce platforms, at its studios, and through its trusted partners; collecting royalties related to licensing agreements; collecting royalties from franchisees; and publishing. Commitment plan revenues and prepaid workshop fees are recorded to revenue on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. “Digital Subscription Revenues,” consisting of the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Digital products, including Personal Coaching + Digital and Digital 360 (as applicable), are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. One-time Digital sign-up fees are considered immaterial in the context of the contract and the related revenue is amortized into revenue over the commitment period. “Workshops + Digital Fees”, consisting of the fees associated with subscription plans for combined workshops and digital offerings and other payment arrangements for access to workshops, are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. In the Workshops + Digital business, the Company generally charges non-refundable registration and starter fees in exchange for access to the Company’s digital subscription products, an introductory information session and materials it provides to new members. Revenue from these registration and starter fees is considered immaterial in the context of the contract and is amortized into revenue over the commitment period. Revenue from consumer product sales online through e-commerce platforms and at studios, royalties and commissions, and “pay-as-you-go” workshop fees is recognized at the point in time control is transferred, which is when products are shipped to customers and partners and title and risk of loss passes to them, royalties and commissions are earned, and services are rendered, respectively. For revenue transactions that involve multiple performance obligations, the amount of revenue recognized is determined using the relative fair value approach, which is generally based on each performance obligation’s stand-alone selling price. Discounts to customers, including free registration offers, are recorded as a deduction from gross revenue in the period such revenue was recognized. The Company grants refunds in aggregate amounts that historically have not been material. Because the period of payment of the refund generally approximates the period revenue was originally recognized, refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue over the same period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred (amortization period would have been one year or less) and these expenses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company treats shipping and handling fees as fulfillment costs and not as a separate performance obligation, and as a result, any fees received from customers are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of product sales and other for amounts paid to applicable carriers. Sales tax, value-added tax and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist primarily of broadcast and digital media. All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred, except for media production-related costs, which are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Total advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 were $ 238,978 , $ 252,754 and $ 248,473 , respectively. Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. The Company considers historic levels of income, estimates of future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a tax valuation allowance. The Company recognizes a benefit for uncertain tax positions when a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes on its consolidated statements of operations. In addition, assets and liabilities acquired in purchase business combinations are assigned their fair values and deferred taxes are provided for lower or higher tax bases. Derivative Instruments and Hedging The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company does not use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes the fair value of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company has designated and accounted for interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on its balance sheet. See Note 18 for a further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. The net effect of the interest payable and receivable under the Company’s effective interest rate swap is included in interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of fees paid by the Company as part of the establishment, exchange and/or modification of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 5,018 , $ 6,136 and $ 8,845 , respectively.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	3. Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to (i) recognition of an acquired contract liability and (ii) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this update require an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after its effective date. On January 2, 2022 , the Company early adopted this updated guidance on a prospective basis, which did no t have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of this guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. In December 2022, this ASU was further updated with the issuance of ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which extends the sunset date of the guidance. ASU 2020-04 may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2024. The Company adopted these ASUs on a prospective basis during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and does no t expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 21. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has determined that recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	4. Leases A lease is defined as an arrangement that contractually specifies the right to use and control an identified asset for a specific period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term, since the Company’s lessors do not provide an implicit rate, nor is one readily available. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the Company’s credit yield curve and adjusted for collateralization, credit quality and economic environment impact, all where applicable. The lease asset includes scheduled lease payments and excludes lease incentives, such as free rent periods and tenant improvement allowances. The Company has certain leases that may include an option to renew and when it is reasonably probable to exercise such option, the Company will include the renewal option terms in determining the lease asset and lease liability. The Company does not have any renewal options that would have a material impact on the terms of the leases and that are also reasonably expected to be exercised as of December 31, 2022. A lease may contain both fixed and variable payments. Variable lease payments that are linked to an index or rate are measured based on the current index or rate at the implementation of the lease accounting standard, or lease commencement date for new leases, with the impact of future changes in the index or rate being recorded as a period expense. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception accounting policy, whereby the recognition requirements of the updated guidance is not applied and lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis with respect to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company’s operating leases are primarily for its studios and corporate offices. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company’s lease assets and lease liabilities were as follows: December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Assets: Operating lease assets $ 75,696 $ 89,902 Finance lease assets 54 127 Total leased assets $ 75,750 $ 90,029 Liabilities: Current Operating $ 17,955 $ 20,297 Finance 31 75 Noncurrent Operating 68,099 78,157 Finance 7 29 Total lease liabilities $ 86,092 $ 98,558 For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the components of the Company’s lease expense were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, 2022 2022 2021 Operating lease cost: Fixed lease cost $ 33,227 $ 37,688 $ 48,674 Lease termination cost 2,726 8,542 6,109 Variable lease cost 27 21 ( 30 ) Total operating lease cost $ 35,980 $ 46,251 $ 54,753 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets $ 112 $ 151 $ 192 Interest on lease liabilities 6 8 12 Total finance lease cost $ 118 $ 159 $ 204 Total lease cost $ 36,098 $ 46,410 $ 54,957 In conjunction with the continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio, the Company entered into subleases, which resulted in lease asset impairment charges of $ 2,680 in the aggregate that were recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company expects to begin recording sublease income as of the sublease commencement dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as an offset to general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates were as follows: December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (years) Operating leases 6.90 7.29 Finance leases 1.00 1.54 Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 7.03 7.15 Finance leases 3.52 5.31 The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0 to 10 years with a weighted average lease term of 6.90 years as of December 31, 2022.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	7. Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Franchise rights acquired are due to acquisitions of the Company’s franchised territories as well as the acquisition of franchise promotion agreements and other factors associated with the acquired franchise territories. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the carrying value of franchise rights acquired was due to the impairments of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia units of account as discussed below, the effect of exchange rate changes and the Northern Ireland franchisee acquisition as described in Note 6. Goodwill primarily relates to the acquisition of the Company by The Kraft Heinz Company (successor to H.J. Heinz Company) in 1978, and the Company’s acquisitions of WW.com, LLC (formerly known as WW.com, Inc. and WeightWatchers.com, Inc.) in 2005 and the Company’s franchised territories. See Note 6 for additional information about acquisitions by the Company. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill was due to the Republic of Ireland franchisee and Northern Ireland franchisee acquisitions as described in Note 6, the impairments of the Republic of Ireland reporting unit and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc. (“Kurbo”) as discussed below and the effect of exchange rate changes as follows: North Continental United America Europe Kingdom Other Total Balance as of January 2, 2021 $ 145,071 $ 7,792 $ 1,268 $ 1,486 $ 155,617 Goodwill acquired during the period 2,153 — — — 2,153 Effect of exchange rate changes 306 ( 606 ) ( 14 ) ( 82 ) ( 396 ) Balance as of January 1, 2022 $ 147,530 $ 7,186 $ 1,254 $ 1,404 $ 157,374 Goodwill acquired during the period — — 5,936 — 5,936 Goodwill impairment ( 1,101 ) — ( 2,023 ) — ( 3,124 ) Effect of exchange rate changes ( 2,862 ) ( 678 ) ( 561 ) ( 87 ) ( 4,188 ) Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 143,567 $ 6,508 $ 4,606 $ 1,317 $ 155,998 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test The Company performed its annual impairment review of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 on May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, respectively. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022, the Company determined that (i) the carrying amounts of its Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, the Company recorded impairment charges for its Canada and New Zealand units of account of $ 24,485 and $ 834 , respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022; and (ii) the carrying amounts of all of its other franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect thereto. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 9, 2021, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States unit of account, which held 92.7 % of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 15 %. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its Canada and New Zealand units of account, which held 4.6 % and 0.5 %, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. The above difference or lack thereof between the estimated fair value of the applicable unit of account and its carrying value is referred to herein as the “Annual Impairment Headroom”. As previously disclosed, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand could change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $ 698,383 , $ 34,556 and $ 3,574 , respectively, as of July 2, 2022. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its remaining units of account, which collectively held 2.2 % of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account exceeded their respective carrying values by over 100 %. In performing this annual impairment analysis for fiscal 2022, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, it assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of 23.0 % to 106.2 % in the year of maturity from fiscal 2021, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.4 %. For the year of maturity and beyond, the Company assumed operating income margin rates of ( 3.0 %) to 8.8 %. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach, it assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of ( 25.6 %) to 16.1 % for fiscal 2022. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for all of its reporting units, all units, except for the Republic of Ireland, had an estimated fair value at least 35 % higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these reporting units rep resented 97.3 % of the Company’s total goodwill as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit, which held 2.7 % of the Company’s goodwill as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 14 %. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the Republic of Ireland may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the goodwill related to the Republic of Ireland, for which the net book value was $ 4,265 as of July 2 , 2022. The following are the more significant assumptions utilized in the Company's annual impairment analyses for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021: Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2021 Debt-Free Cumulative Annual Cash Flow Growth Rate 1.2 % to 20.6 % 0.2 % to 2.6 % Discount Rate 9.6 % 8.5 % Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test During the quarter ended October 1, 2022, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively, when combined with the Annual Impairment Headroom discussed above for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, indicated a triggering event had occurred within these units of account. These factors included actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in its annual impairment test, the continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test of these units of account. In performing this interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022 , the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its United States, Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges for its United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account of $ 298,291 , $ 13,312 and $ 1,138 , respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The preponderance of these impairments was driven by the increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test of its indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company's equity and debt. In performing this interim impairment analysis, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, it assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of 20.2 % to 57.6 % in the year of maturity from fiscal 2021, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.5 %. For the year of maturity and beyond, the Company assumed operating income margin rates of 2.3 % to 8.8 %. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach, it assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of ( 21.5 %) to 1.6 % for fiscal 2022. Based on the results of the Company’s October 1, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, which held 91.5 %, 4.4 % and 0.5 %, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $ 400,092 , $ 19,342 and $ 2,141 , respectively, as of October 1, 2022. The most significant assumptions used in the interim impairment test discussed above were the discount rate applied and the Digital revenue growth rates. The Company applied a discount rate of 13.4 % based on our actual weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The Company projected Digital revenues based upon its current and past performance. Changes in these assumptions would have a significant impact on the valuation model. Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively indicated a triggering event had occurred. These factors included (i) actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in its third quarter fiscal 2022 interim impairment test for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account and as compared to the assumptions used in its annual impairment test in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for the United Kingdom and Australia units of account; and (ii) the further decline in the Company’s market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test for all of its franchise rights acquired units of account in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In performing the interim franchise rights acquired impairment test as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges for its United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia units of account of $ 25,739 , $ 19,657 (which comprised the remaining balance of franchise rights acquired for this unit of account), $ 8,275 and $ 1,872 , respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. These impairments were driven by the increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the third quarter fiscal 2022 interim impairment test for the United States and Canada units of account and as compared the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test for the United Kingdom and Australia units of account, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company's equity and debt. Additionally, these impairments were driven by the decline in the assumptions used in the hypothetical start-up approach and relief from royalty approach analyses as compared to the assumptions used in the third quarter fiscal 2022 interim impairment test for the United States and Canada units of account and as compared the assumptions used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test for the United Kingdom and Australia units of account. The carrying amount of its New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived unit of account did not exceed its respective fair value and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect thereto. In performing this interim impairment analysis, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, it assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of ( 4.3 %) to 43.8 % i n the year of maturity from fiscal 2022, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.5 %. F or the year of maturity and beyond, the Company assumed operating income margin rates of ( 19.1 %) to 12.2 %. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach, it assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of ( 25.4 %) to 24.4 % for fiscal 2023. Based on the results of the Company’s December 31, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand units of account, which h eld 97.6 %, 1.1 %, 0.7 %, and 0.6 %, r espectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $ 374,353 , $ 4,232 , $ 2,666 and $ 2,432 , respectively, as of December 31, 2022. The most significant assumptions used in the interim impairment test discussed above were the discount rate applied and the Digital revenue growth rates. The Company applied a discount rate of 13.7 % based on our actual weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The Company projected Digital revenues based upon its current and past performance. Changes in these assumptions would have a significant impact on the valuation model. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate assumption would decrease the fair values of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand units of account by approximately 6.6 %, 8.9 %, 5.6 % and 5.3 %, respect ively, which would result in additional impairment charges. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 1 % reduction in projected Digital revenues for each year in the analysis would decrease the fair values of the United State s, United Kingdom , Australia and New Zealand units of account by approximately 1.0 %, 6.8 %, 2.9 % and 1.0 %, respe ctively, which would also result in additional impairment charges. Republic of Ireland Goodwill Impairment With respect to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company made a strategic decision to delay the launch of the Digital business in that country. As a result of this decision, a triggering event occurred which required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing its discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $ 2,023 . The preponderance of this impairment was driven by a decrease in projected revenues and an increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test of its goodwill, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company's equity and debt. Kurbo Goodwill Impairment On August 10, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Kurbo Health, Inc., a family-based healthy lifestyle coaching program, for a net purchase price of $ 3,063 , of which $ 1,101 was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was deductible annually for tax purposes. The Company determined in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to exit the Kurbo business in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as part of its strategic plan. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 1,101 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which comprised the entire goodwill balance for Kurbo. Brazil Goodwill Impairment With respect to its Brazil reporting unit, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made a strategic decision to shift to an exclusively Digital business in that country. The Company determined that this decision, together with the negative impact of COVID-19, the ongoing challenging economic environment in Brazil and its reduced expectations regarding the reporting unit’s future operating cash flows, required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing this discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $ 3,665 , which comprised the remaining balance of goodwill for this reporting unit. As it related to its goodwill impairment analysis for Brazil, the Company estimated future debt-free cash flows in contemplation of its growth strategies for that market. In developing these projections, the Company considered the growth strategies under the current market conditions in Brazil. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Finite-lived Intangible Assets The carrying values of finite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 were as follows: December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Gross Gross Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated Amount Amortization Amount Amortization Capitalized software costs $ 107,229 $ 94,375 $ 115,065 $ 94,771 Website development costs 133,818 91,482 110,678 78,629 Trademarks 12,162 11,882 12,116 11,677 Other 13,961 6,125 14,021 5,677 Trademarks and other intangible assets $ 267,170 $ 203,864 $ 251,880 $ 190,754 Franchise rights acquired 8,164 5,101 7,905 4,766 Total finite-lived intangible assets $ 275,334 $ 208,965 $ 259,785 $ 195,520 Aggregate amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was recorded in the amounts of $ 33,676 , $ 32,220 and $ 29,828 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Estimated amortization expense of existing finite-lived intangible assets for the next five fiscal years and thereafter was as follows: Fiscal 2023 $ 29,816 Fiscal 2024 $ 19,599 Fiscal 2025 $ 8,189 Fiscal 2026 $ 871 Fiscal 2027 $ 723 Thereafter $ 7,171

On April 13, 2021, the Company (1) repaid in full approximately $ 1,189,750 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under its then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $ 300,000 in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 8.625 % Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “Discharged Senior Notes”). On April 13, 2021, the Company’s then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $ 175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. The Company funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $ 1,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its new credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities”) and proceeds received from the issuance of $ 500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.500 % Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), each as described below. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the “April 2021 debt refinancing”. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company incurred fees of $ 37,910 (which included $ 12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $ 5,000 of a debt discount on its Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 29,169 in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt charge was comprised of $ 12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $ 9,017 of financing fees paid in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing and the write-off of $ 7,213 of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount. Credit Facilities The Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The Credit Facilities consist of (1) $ 1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) $ 175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In December 2021, the Company made voluntary prepayments at par in an aggregate amount of $ 52,500 in respect of its outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of these prepayments, the Company wrote off a debt discount and deferred financing fees of $ 1,183 in the aggregate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 945,000 in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, with $ 173,921 o f availability and $ 1,079 in i ssued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to its terms and conditions as discussed below. There w ere no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including: • a pledge of 100 % of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65 % of the voting stock of such first-tier non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and • a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with: • 50 % (which percentage will be reduced to 25 % and 0 % if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow; • 100 % of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100 % of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and • 100 % of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the Term Loan Facility. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities at any time without penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans under the Credit Facilities. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50 % per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00 %; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50 % or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBOR is not lower than a floor of 0.50 %. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50 % per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00 %; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00 % or (2) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero . As of December 31, 2022, the applicable margins for the LIBOR rate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50 % and 2.75 %, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company and the administrative agent may amend the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If the Company fails to do so, its borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin. The Company expects to transition from LIBOR in advance of its cessation on or about June 30, 2023. On a quarterly basis, the Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt, amendments of material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, changes to lines of business and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35 % of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, the Company must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of 5.75 :1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2023, with a step down to 5.50 :1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2024, with an additional step down to 5.25 :1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and again to 5.00 :1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2022 , the Company’s actual Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio was 5.77 :1.00 and there were no borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and total letters of credit issued were $ 1,079 . The Company was not in compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2022, and as a result, the Company is limited to borrowing no more than 35 %, or $ 61,250 , of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as of each fiscal quarter end until the Company is in compliance again with such ratio. Senior Secured Notes The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500 % and will mature on April 15, 2029 . Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024 , the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250 % of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125 % on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000 % on or after April 15, 2026 . Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500 % of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 10 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000 % of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens. Outstanding Debt At December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 1,445,000 outstanding under the Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of $ 945,000 , $ 0 drawn down on the Revolving Credit Facility and $ 500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , the Company’s debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. See Note 19 for information on the Company’s interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.45 % and 5.11 % per annum at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.50 % and 5.62 % per annum at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. Maturities At December 31, 2022, the aggregate amounts of the Company’s existing long-term debt maturing in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter were as follows: Fiscal 2023 $ — Fiscal 2024 — Fiscal 2025 — Fiscal 2026 — Fiscal 2027 10,000 Thereafter 1,435,000 $ 1,445,000

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Per Share Data	11. Per Share Data Basic (net loss) earnings per share is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted (net loss) earnings per share is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (net loss) earnings per share data for the fiscal years ended: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, 2022 2022 2021 Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to WW International, Inc. $ ( 251,403 ) $ 66,892 $ 75,079 Denominator: Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 70,321 69,640 67,849 Effect of dilutive common stock equivalents — 1,104 2,171 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 70,321 70,744 70,020 (Net loss) earnings per share attributable to WW International, Inc.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock Plans	12. Stock Plans Incentive Compensation Plans, Inducement Option and Winfrey Amendment Option On May 6, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). On May 6, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2014 Plan”, and together with the 2008 Plan, the “Stock Plans”), which replaced the 2008 Plan for all equity-based awards granted on or after May 6, 2014. The 2014 Plan is designed to promote the long-term financial interests and growth of the Company by attracting, motivating and retaining employees with the ability to contribute to the success of the business and to align compensation for the Company’s employees over a multi-year period directly with the interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program has historically included time-vesting non-qualified stock option and/or restricted stock unit (“RSUs”) (including performance-based stock unit with both time- and performance-vesting criteria (“PSUs”)) awards. From time to time, the Company has granted fully-vested shares of its common stock to individuals in connection with special circumstances. The Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof administers the 2014 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, grants may take the following forms at the Company’s Board of Directors’ Compensation and Benefits Committee’s (the “Compensation Committee”) discretion: non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, restricted stock and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2022 , the maximum number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2014 Plan was 12,500 , subject to increase and adjustment as set forth in the 2014 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, the Company also grants fully-vested shares of its common stock to certain members of its Board of Directors. While these shares are fully vested, the directors are restricted from selling these shares while they are still serving on the Company’s Board of Directors subject to limited exceptions. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 , the Company granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors an aggregate of 77 , 29 and 31 fully-vested shares, respectively, and recognized compensation expense of $ 624 , $ 757 and $ 688 , respectively. Commencing during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 , the above-referenced members of the Company’s Board of Directors could elect to defer receipt of such grants of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to their service on the Company’s Board of Directors during fiscal 2022. Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors made such an election such that the Company granted to those members of its Board of Directors an aggregate of 27 deferred stock units. These deferred stock units will be settled on the date of separation from service from the Company's Board of Directors of the applicable member of the Company’s Board of Directors or earlier based on his or her election or upon a change in control of the Company. In fiscal 2022, as part of an initial equity award, the Company granted a stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of its common stock (the “Inducement Option”) to its new Chief Executive Officer upon commencement of her employment. The Inducement Option vests proportionately over four years on each anniversary of the grant date and expires on the seven-year anniversary of the grant date. While the Inducement Option was granted in reliance on an employment inducement exemption and not awarded pursuant to the 2014 Plan, it is subject to the same terms and conditions of the 2014 Plan. Under the Winfrey Amendment Option (as defined below), in fiscal 2020 the Company granted Ms. Winfrey a fully vested option to purchase 3,276 shares of the Company’s common stock as more fully described in Note 22. The Company issues common stock for share-based compensation awards from treasury stock. The total compensation cost that has been charged against income for share-based compensation awards and the Winfrey Amendment Option, as applicable, was $ 12,333 , $ 21,348 and $ 55,013 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 , respectively. Such amounts have been included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all share-based compensation awards was $ 2,603 , $ 5,175 and $ 10,915 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 , respectively. The tax benefits realized from options exercised and RSUs and PSUs vested totaled $ 1,017 , $ 7,999 and $ 8,426 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 , respectively. No compensation costs were capitalized. As of December 31, 2022 , there was $ 24,958 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs granted under the Stock Plans and the Inducement Option. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years. Stock Option Awards with Time-Vesting Criteria Stock options with time-vesting criteria (“Time-Vesting Options”) are exercisable based on the terms and conditions outlined in the applicable award agreement. Time-Vesting Options outstanding at December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 vest over a period of two to four years and the expiration term is seven to ten years . Time-Vesting Options outstanding at December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 have an exercise price between $ 3.97 and $ 60.00 per share. The fair value of each of these option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term takes into consideration option exercise history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant which most closely corresponds to the expected term of the Time-Vesting Options. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s historic average dividend yield.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards with Time-Vesting Criteria RSUs are exercisable based on the terms outlined in the applicable award agreement. The RSUs generally vest over a period of two to four years . The fair value of RSUs is determined using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The total fair value of RSUs vested during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 14,576 , $ 18,097 and $ 15,015 , respectively. Performance-Based Stock Unit Awards with Time- and Performance-Vesting Criteria In fiscal 2019, the Company granted 280.1 PSUs having both time- and performance-vesting criteria. The time-vesting criteria for these PSUs was satisfied upon continued employment (with limited exceptions) on the third anniversary of the grant date. The performance-vesting criteria for these PSUs was not satisfied and 0 PSUs became vested in fiscal 2022 upon the satisfaction of the time-vesting criteria. The Company accrued compensation expense in an amount equal to the outcome upon vesting. In fiscal 2018, the Company granted 81.3 PSUs having both time- and performance-vesting criteria. The time-vesting criteria for these PSUs was satisfied upon continued employment (with limited exceptions) on May 15, 2021. The performance-vesting criteria for these PSUs was not satisfied and 0 PSUs became vested in fiscal 2021 upon the satisfaction of the time-vesting criteria. The Company accrued compensation expense in an amount equal to the outcome upon vesting. In fiscal 2017, the Company granted 98.5 PSUs in May 2017 and 47.9 PSUs in July 2017, all having both time- and performance-vesting criteria (the “2017 PSUs”). The time-vesting criteria for these PSUs was satisfied upon continued employment (with limited exceptions) on May 15, 2020. The performance-vesting criteria for two-thirds of these PSUs was satisfied when the Company achieved, in the case of the May 2017 awards, certain annual operating income objectives and, in the case of the July 2017 award, certain net income or operating income objectives, as applicable for each of the fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 performance years. The performance-vesting criteria for the fiscal 2019 performance year was not satisfied. When the performance measure was met, if at all, for a particular 2017 Award Performance Year (i.e., each fiscal year over a three-year period, fiscal 2017 through fiscal 2019), that portion of units was “banked” for potential issuance following the satisfaction of the time-vesting criteria. Such portion of units “banked” was equal to (x) the target number of PSUs granted for the applicable 2017 Award Performance Year multiplied by (y) the applicable achievement percentage ( 166.67 % in the case of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018), rounded down to avoid the issuance of fractional shares. Pursuant to these awards, the number of PSUs that became vested in fiscal 2020 upon the satisfaction of the time-vesting criteria was 122.6 . The Company accrued compensation expense in an amount equal to the outcome upon vesting. The fair value of PSUs is determined using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate is as follows: The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $ 48,265 tax benefit from a legal entity restructuring in connection with the Organizational Realignment (as defined below) which resulted in a reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities, (ii) a $ 4,450 tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”), and (iii) a $ 2,150 tax benefit for out-of-period income tax adjustments. These benefits were partially offset by (i) a $ 27,108 tax expense from a valuation allowance established to offset certain deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from its interest expense carryforwards, (ii) a $ 2,245 tax expense related to income earned in foreign jurisdictions at rates higher than the U.S., and (iii) a $ 1,732 tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $ 6,347 tax benefit related to a decrease in the applicable state tax rate on certain deferred income, (ii) a $ 3,548 tax benefit related to tax windfalls from stock compensation and (iii) a $ 1,560 tax benefit due to the reversal of a valuation allowance related to certain non-U.S. net operating losses that are now expected to be realized. These benefits were partially offset by $ 6,888 of tax expense related to income earned in foreign jurisdictions at rates higher than the U.S. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $ 7,566 tax benefit related to the reversal of the tax impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), (ii) a $ 4,714 tax benefit related to tax windfalls from stock compensation and (iii) a $ 1,401 tax benefit related to FDII. These benefits were partially offset by (i) a $ 8,056 tax expense related to income earned in foreign jurisdictions at rates higher than the U.S. and (ii) a $ 2,278 tax expense for out-of-period income tax adjustments.

The CARES Act includes provisions relating to modifications to the net interest deduction limitation, net operating loss carryforward rules, refundable payroll tax credits and deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes. On July 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department released final regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 951A ( TD 9902 ) permitting a taxpayer to elect to exclude from its GILTI inclusion items of income subject to a high effective rate of foreign tax. As a result of the final regulations, the Company recorded a $ 7,566 tax benefit in fiscal 2020 related to the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 taxes previously accrued attributable to GILTI. The deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows: December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Interest expense disallowance $ 54,259 $ 44,598 Operating lease liabilities 20,842 22,901 Operating loss carryforwards 10,102 14,172 Provision for estimated expenses 2,734 2,128 Salaries and wages 10,280 2,710 Share-based compensation 15,190 15,707 Other comprehensive income 1,841 6,306 Other 3,695 5,927 Less: valuation allowance ( 35,818 ) ( 10,083 ) Total deferred tax assets $ 83,125 $ 104,366 Goodwill and intangible assets $ ( 51,841 ) $ ( 224,548 ) Operating lease assets ( 18,228 ) ( 20,794 ) Depreciation ( 13,498 ) ( 4,044 ) Prepaid expenses ( 431 ) ( 1,433 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ ( 83,998 ) $ ( 250,819 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ ( 873 ) $ ( 146,453 ) As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , the Company had primarily foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 82,184 and $ 111,432 , respectively, some of which have an unlimited carryforward period, while others expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2023. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its state and certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards as it is deemed more likely than not that such losses will not be realized. In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a $ 1,560 income tax benefit for the release in the valuation allowance related to its operations in Switzerland. As of December 31, 2022, the Company established a $ 27,108 valuation allowance on its business interest expense carryforwards. As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changing the U.S. to a modified territorial tax system, the Company does not assert its $ 82,355 of undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2022 are permanently reinvested. The Company has considered whether there would be any potential future costs of not asserting indefinite reinvestment and does not expect such costs to be significant. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, 2022 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 1,055 $ 851 $ 206 Increases related to tax positions taken in current year 145 196 — Increases related to tax positions taken in prior years 8 260 605 Reductions related to tax positions taken in prior years ( 95 ) ( 199 ) — Reductions related to settlements with tax authorities ( 273 ) — — Reductions related to lapse of statutes of limitations ( 206 ) — — Effects of foreign currency translation ( 23 ) ( 53 ) 40 Balance at end of year $ 611 $ 1,055 $ 851 At December 31, 2022 , the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $ 508 . The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. At December 31, 2022, with few exceptions, the Company was no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2019, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2017. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had $( 60 ) and $( 54 ) of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , respectively. The Company recognized $ 83 , $ 142 and $ 190 of income tax expense in interest and penalties during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. The U.S. federal government has recently signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) which, among other things, imposes a minimum “book” tax on certain large corporations and creates a new excise tax on stock repurchases made by certain publicly traded corporations after December 31, 2022. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the IRA on its consolidated financial statements as it awaits further guidance, the Company does not currently expect a material impact. Non-Income Tax Matters The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) notified the Company of certain penalties assessed related to the annual disclosure and reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The Company is in the process of appealing this determination and does not believe it has any liability with respect to this matter. Until the appeals process is complete, the IRS will maintain a federal tax lien which is currently limited to certain IRS refunds due to the Company.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	14. Employee Benefit Plans The Company sponsors the Third Amended and Restated WW Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) for salaried and certain hourly U.S. employees of the Company. The Savings Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides for employer matching contributions of 50 % of the employee’s tax deferred contributions up to 6 % of an employee’s eligible compensation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021. Effective as of May 30, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended employer matching contributions through December 31, 2020. Expense related to these contributions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 2,564 , $ 3,136 and $ 1,655 , respectively. During fiscal 2014, the Company received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that qualifies the Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the Savings Plan, the Company also makes profit sharing contributions for all full-time salaried U.S. employees who are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan (except for certain personnel above a determined compensation level). The profit sharing contribution is a guaranteed monthly employer contribution on behalf of each participant based on the participant’s age and a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation. The Savings Plan also has a discretionary supplemental profit sharing employer contribution component that is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. Effective as of March 6, 2022, the Company suspended profit sharing contributions. Effective as of May 30, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended profit sharing contributions through December 31, 2020. Expense related to these contributions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 179 , $ 1,342 and $ 914 , respectively. For certain U.S. personnel above a determined compensation level, the Company sponsors the Second Amended and Restated Weight Watchers Executive Profit Sharing Plan (“EPSP”). Under the IRS definition, the EPSP is considered a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. There is a promise of payment by the Company made on the employees’ behalf instead of an individual account with a cash balance. The EPSP provides for a guaranteed employer contribution on behalf of each participant based on the participant’s age and a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation. The EPSP has a discretionary supplemental employer contribution component that is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. The EPSP is valued at the end of each fiscal month, based on an annualized interest rate of prime plus 2 %, with an annualized cap of 15 %. Effective as of March 6, 2022, although the Company suspended EPSP contributions, EPSP balances continue to accrue interest. Effective as of May 30, 2020, although the Company temporarily suspended EPSP contributions through December 31, 2020, EPSP balances continued to accrue interest. Expense related to this commitment for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 929 , $ 3,975 and $ 1,761 , respectively.

The new reportable segments will continue to provide similar services and products. The segment information presented in these financial statements does not reflect this change in reportable segments as the change did not take effect internally until the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company will begin reporting segment information based on these new segments in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	18. Fair Value Measurements Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. When measuring fair value, the Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s significant financial instruments include long-term debt and interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 . Since there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , the fair value approximated a carrying value of $ 0 at both December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s Credit Facilities is determined by utilizing average bid prices on or near the end of each fiscal quarter (Level 2 input). As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $ 782,384 and $ 1,389,306 , respectively, as compared to the carrying value (net of deferred financing costs and debt discount) of $ 1,422,284 and $ 1,418,104 , respectively. Derivative Financial Instruments The fair values for the Company’s derivative financial instruments are determined using observable current market information such as the prevailing LIBOR interest rate and LIBOR yield curve rates and include consideration of counterparty credit risk. See Note 19 for disclosures related to derivative financial instruments. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments: Fair Value Measurements Using: Total Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Interest rate swap current asset at December 31, 2022 $ 11,748 $ — $ 11,748 $ — Interest rate swap noncurrent asset at December 31, 2022 $ 2,450 $ — $ 2,450 $ — Interest rate swap current liability at January 1, 2022 $ 14,670 $ — $ 14,670 $ — The Company did no t have any transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 and did no t maintain any assets or liabilities classified as Level 3 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	19. Derivative Instruments and Hedging As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , the Company had in effect interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $ 500,000 . On July 26, 2013, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap with an effective date of March 31, 2014 and a termination date of April 2, 2020 . The initial notional amount of this swap was $ 1,500,000 . During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $ 1,500,000 effective March 31, 2014 to $ 1,250,000 on April 3, 2017 and to $ 1,000,000 on April 1, 2019 . This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 2.41 %. This swap qualified for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of this swap were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. On June 11, 2018, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2018 swap”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024 . The initial notional amount of this swap was $ 500,000 . During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $ 500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $ 250,000 on March 31, 2021 . This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 3.1005 %. On June 7, 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2019 swap”, and together with the 2018 swap, the “current swaps”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024 . The notional amount of this swap is $ 250,000 . This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.901 %. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2022, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $ 10,723 ($ 14,146 before taxes). As of January 1, 2022 , the cumulative unrealized loss for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $ 10,843 ($ 14,622 before taxes). The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments by balance sheet classification and location: Fair Value Balance Sheet Classification Balance Sheet December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Assets: Interest rate swaps - current swaps Current asset Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 11,748 $ — Interest rate swaps - current swaps Noncurrent asset Other noncurrent assets 2,450 — Total assets $ 14,198 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swaps - current swaps Current liability Derivative payable $ — $ 14,670 Total liabilities $ — $ 14,670 The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next two years . The Company expects approximately $ 9,890 ($ 13,194 before taxes) of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2022 , based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	3. Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to (i) recognition of an acquired contract liability and (ii) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this update require an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after its effective date. On January 2, 2022 , the Company early adopted this updated guidance on a prospective basis, which did no t have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of this guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to account for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate if certain criteria are met. In December 2022, this ASU was further updated with the issuance of ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which extends the sunset date of the guidance. ASU 2020-04 may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2024. The Company adopted these ASUs on a prospective basis during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and does no t expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 21. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has determined that recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	23. Restructuring 2023 Plan As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, management reviewed the then-current global business operations of the Company as well as the different functions and systems supporting those operations and contrasted them with the Company's strategic priorities and requirements for fiscal 2023 and beyond. Based on that review, in December 2022, the Company's management resolved to centralize its global management of certain functions and systems, deprioritize and in some cases cease operations for certain non-strategic business lines, and continue the rationalization of its real estate portfolio to align with its future needs. Throughout December 2022 and January 2023, management developed and continued refining a detailed plan to achieve these goals. The Company has committed to a restructuring plan consisting of (i) an organizational restructuring and rationalization of certain functions and systems to centralize the Company’s management, align resources with strategic business lines and reduce costs associated with certain functions and systems (the “Organizational Restructuring”) and (ii) the continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio and resulting operating lease termination charges and the associated employment termination costs (the “Real Estate Restructuring,” and together with the Organizational Restructuring, the “2023 Plan”). In connection with the 2023 Plan, the Company anticipates recording restructuring charges which it currently estimates will range between $ 39,000 to $ 46,000 in the aggregate. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $ 13,608 ($ 10,201 after tax). The Organizational Restructuring has resulted and will result in the elimination of certain positions and the termination of employment for certain employees worldwide. In connection with the Organizational Restructuring, the Company anticipates recording charges of approximately $ 15,000 to $ 18,000 in the aggregate with respect to employee termination benefit costs, which are expected to consist primarily of general and administrative expenses. The majority of these charges were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 at the time management resolved to undertake the Organizational Restructuring. In connection with the Real Estate Restructuring, the Company anticipates recording charges of approximately $ 24,000 to $ 28,000 in the aggregate consisting of lease termination and other related costs, the majority of which will be recorded in the first six months of fiscal 2023. Substantially all of the costs arising from the 2023 Plan are expected to result in cash expenditures related to separation payments, other employee termination expenses and lease termination payments. The Company expects the 2023 Plan to be fully executed by the end of fiscal 2023. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the components of the Company’s restructuring expenses for the 2023 Plan were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Employee termination benefit costs $ 13,608 Total restructuring expenses $ 13,608 For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, restructuring expenses for the 2023 Plan were recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Cost of revenues $ 1,798 Selling, general and administrative expenses 11,810 Total restructuring expenses $ 13,608 All expenses were recorded to general corporate expenses and, therefore, there was no impact to the segments. The Company expects the employee termination benefit liability of $ 13,608 to be paid in full by the end of fiscal 2025. 2022 Plan As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company committed to a restructuring plan consisting of (i) an organizational realignment to simplify the Company’s corporate structure and reduce associated costs (the “Organizational Realignment”) and (ii) a continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio resulting in the termination of certain of the Company’s operating leases (together with the Organizational Realignment, the “2022 Plan”). The Organizational Realignment has resulted in the elimination of certain positions and termination of employment for certain employees worldwide. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $ 27,181 ($ 20,375 aft er tax). Costs arising from the 2022 Plan related to separation payments, other employee termination expenses and lease termination and other related costs, except for lease impairment and accelerated depreciation and amortization related to leased locations, are expected to result in cash expenditures. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the components of the Company’s restructuring expenses for the 2022 Plan were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Lease termination and other related costs $ 3,791 Employee termination benefit costs 19,170 Lease impairments 2,680 Other costs 1,540 Total restructuring expenses $ 27,181 See Note 4 for additional information in regard to the Company's lease impairments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, restructuring expenses for the 2022 Plan were recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Cost of revenues $ 6,476 Selling, general and administrative expenses 20,705 Total restructuring expenses $ 27,181 All expenses were recorded to general corporate expenses and, therefore, there was no impact to the segments.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 st and consists of either 52 or 53-week periods. Fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 each contained 52 weeks and fiscal 2020 contained 53 weeks.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, revenue, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from these estimates. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Translation of Foreign Currencies	Translation of Foreign Currencies For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the translation of intercompany receivables and intercompany payables with the Company’s international subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other expense, net, unless the receivable or payable is considered long-term in nature, in which case the foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Cash includes balances due from third-party credit card companies.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis, net of reserves for obsolescence and shrinkage.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ( 3 to 10 years ). Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the related assets. Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 17 , $ 5 and $ 62 , respectively, related to internal-use computer software that was not expected to provide substantive service potential. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 758 , $ 516 and $ 1,310 , respectively, related to property, plant and equipment that were expected to be disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives. In fiscal 2022, the Company recorded lease asset impairment charges of $ 2,680 in the aggregate. See Note 4 for further information on the Company’s leases.
Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill	Franchise Rights Acquired Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year . Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for franchise rights related to the Company’s Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for franchise rights related to the Company’s Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for franchise rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for these rights. The Company has determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 374,353 , $ 4,232 , $ 2,666 , and $ 2,432 , respectively, which represented 97.6 %, 1.1 %, 0.7 % and 0.6 %, respectively, of total franchise rights acquired as of December 31, 2022 of $ 383,683 . The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 698,383 , $ 60,117 , $ 12,187 , $ 6,529 and $ 4,840 , respectively, which represented 89.3 %, 7.7 %, 1.6 %, 0.8 % and 0.6 %, respectively, of total franchise rights acquired as of January 1, 2022 of $ 782,056 . In its hypothetical start-up approach analyses for fiscal 2022, the Company assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, the Company estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach analyses for fiscal 2022, the cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Goodwill In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 104,019 , $ 39,547 and $ 12,432 , respectively, which represented 66.7 %, 25.3 % and 8.0 %, respectively, of total goodwill as of December 31, 2022 of $ 155,998 . The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $ 105,121 , $ 42,409 and $ 9,844 , respectively, which represented 66.8 %, 26.9 % and 6.3 %, respectively, of total goodwill as of January 1, 2022 of $ 157,374 . In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of the Company’s reporting units, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Impairment Tests The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed its annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, based on triggering events, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022 on certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2022 on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. See Note 7 for further information regarding the results of the franchise rights acquired and goodwill annual impairment tests, the franchise rights acquired interim impairment test for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the franchise rights acquired and goodwill interim impairment tests for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
Other Intangible Assets	Other Intangible Assets Other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years . The Company expenses all software costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalizes all internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development has reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 3 years for website development costs and from 3 to 5 years for all other software costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which do not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. The Company earns revenue from subscriptions for its digital products and by conducting workshops, for which it charges a fee, predominantly through commitment plans, as well as prepayment plans or the “pay-as-you-go” arrangement. The Company also earns revenue by selling consumer products online through its e-commerce platforms, at its studios, and through its trusted partners; collecting royalties related to licensing agreements; collecting royalties from franchisees; and publishing. Commitment plan revenues and prepaid workshop fees are recorded to revenue on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. “Digital Subscription Revenues,” consisting of the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Digital products, including Personal Coaching + Digital and Digital 360 (as applicable), are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. One-time Digital sign-up fees are considered immaterial in the context of the contract and the related revenue is amortized into revenue over the commitment period. “Workshops + Digital Fees”, consisting of the fees associated with subscription plans for combined workshops and digital offerings and other payment arrangements for access to workshops, are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. In the Workshops + Digital business, the Company generally charges non-refundable registration and starter fees in exchange for access to the Company’s digital subscription products, an introductory information session and materials it provides to new members. Revenue from these registration and starter fees is considered immaterial in the context of the contract and is amortized into revenue over the commitment period. Revenue from consumer product sales online through e-commerce platforms and at studios, royalties and commissions, and “pay-as-you-go” workshop fees is recognized at the point in time control is transferred, which is when products are shipped to customers and partners and title and risk of loss passes to them, royalties and commissions are earned, and services are rendered, respectively. For revenue transactions that involve multiple performance obligations, the amount of revenue recognized is determined using the relative fair value approach, which is generally based on each performance obligation’s stand-alone selling price. Discounts to customers, including free registration offers, are recorded as a deduction from gross revenue in the period such revenue was recognized. The Company grants refunds in aggregate amounts that historically have not been material. Because the period of payment of the refund generally approximates the period revenue was originally recognized, refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue over the same period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred (amortization period would have been one year or less) and these expenses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company treats shipping and handling fees as fulfillment costs and not as a separate performance obligation, and as a result, any fees received from customers are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of product sales and other for amounts paid to applicable carriers. Sales tax, value-added tax and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist primarily of broadcast and digital media. All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred, except for media production-related costs, which are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Total advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 were $ 238,978 , $ 252,754 and $ 248,473 , respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. The Company considers historic levels of income, estimates of future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a tax valuation allowance. The Company recognizes a benefit for uncertain tax positions when a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes on its consolidated statements of operations. In addition, assets and liabilities acquired in purchase business combinations are assigned their fair values and deferred taxes are provided for lower or higher tax bases.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	Derivative Instruments and Hedging The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company does not use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes the fair value of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company has designated and accounted for interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on its balance sheet. See Note 18 for a further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. The net effect of the interest payable and receivable under the Company’s effective interest rate swap is included in interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of fees paid by the Company as part of the establishment, exchange and/or modification of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $ 5,018 , $ 6,136 and $ 8,845 , respectively.
