Based on the frame and fork specs listed here:-
www.trekbikes.com
You require a Boost (110x15mm) thru axle front hub. For the rear you need a Boost (148x12mm) thru axle hub. 😉
Edit: Like @006_007 says, with a Microspline freehub.

Looks like your trek has boost hubs front and rear with 6 bolt rotors.
Rear appears to have the Shimano microspline driver.
I assume you would be upgrading the entire wheelset - not just new hubs on the existing rims?

I’m not sure to be honest. I love riding but am new to customising. I’ve been told hope hubs are a good upgrade and visually will looks good next to the brakes. What else along with the hubs would I need?? Just rims or rear cogs etc too?

A Hope Fortus wheelset is all you need and then swap existing components over.
Wheels would cost around £350 depending on wheel size, I'm guessing 29er's based on average frame size and not XS or S?

Got a similar 27.5 wheelset here for £340, cheapest price online I found but that was pre Covid. 😬
Just checked the website briefly and it seems obvious that they have gone up in price like everything else, don't know by how much for the ones you need:-
