One day you’re on top and the next day everyone is putting you down but for me Zidane is the best trainer in the world.
I cycle, I take an hour’s strenuous walk in the evening, I play tennis twice a week with a trainer, and I sail. I used to ride horses professionally – I’d ride seven or eight horses a day, so I had to be fit for that.
I’ve got a yoga instructor and a trainer. I just started a heavy-bag class, which is like boxing and cardio, and I salsa dance with my girlfriends. I try to do something every day. Continually exercising is natural for us.
I was a painting contractor for a while and then a dog trainer. I opened my own business dog training and had some success.
I don’t really need a personal trainer or watch what I eat. I can’t start the day without a hot chocolate or finish it without a few squares of dark chocolate. It’s good for my mood!
A great tailor is like a great personal trainer – they tailor that suit to your natural physique.
I hate the fact that we all feel the pressure to go to gyms, have a trainer if money allows, get jogging – all those societal pressures to keep fit and look a certain way.
As for my personal style, I like comfort a lot, like jeans and T-shirts. Having been a trainer for so long, I spend a lot of my days in tank tops, shorts, and T-shirts. Still, I do like the occasions where I get to wear suits and make that a thing.
I work out only with my trainer. And I make sure to do a lot of power training. For me, fitness is more about being on the ground rather than being in a gym.
I work free-weights and do circuit training with my trainer 4-5 times a week. I also train in Brazilian Ju Jitsu several times a week.
When I went to L.A., I had trainer there, worked on Parkour and boxing to get my body used to working out every day.
I initially became a trainer in 2002 to help people shape their bodies, to help them look the way they wanted to look. This would reflect the way I was living. I was focusing on the exterior. Then in 2003/4, I had a paradigm shift. I started a business for bariatric patients, pre- and post-gastric bypass.
And I found out, the other part of it is that I found out and in my desire to life successfully, that baseball fit very well into my life. It’s been a great teacher, trainer, mentor and you’ll see what I mean in the next few minutes that I have to speak.
You would not believe that Paula Patton and I have the same trainer.
I work out three times a week with a trainer.
For a beginner, find a trainer that you trust and set some goals.
My first ambition was to be a show jumper. I did a bit of dressage as part of it, and the dressage trainer saw me and said, ‘Why are you wasting your time with the other stuff? You should be concentrating on this.’
There’s something so familial and intimate between a boxer and his trainer.
Boxing is individual, although there’s a team concept because you need a great corner, you need a great trainer, you need a great prep man, you need all of these things, but it’s more of a Mano a Mano; it’s more you versus me. I miss that time in training camp and Dad and Mom cooking meals. It was one big family.
I had a daily 30 minute pushup routine. Then I boxed 3 times a week for about an hour. And then, I had the trainer come to my house an average of 1 to 2 times a week.
My father is a trainer. From childhood, I would watch him train and kick and punch.
These five-and-a-half seasons I was working with Ajax as the head coach, and four-and-a-half as the trainer of the academy, it cost me less energy than the eight months of Inter and Crystal Palace.
I have an American trainer – a bubbly Californian. I tell her, ‘Welsh women don’t run. We’re congenitally incapable.’ But she’s got me up to five kilometers.
My personal trainer suggested paleo to build muscle while staying lean, and it’s one of the first plans that’s worked for me.
My trainer is with me all day. We train before I come to work, and then I just keep training all day.
I never have used a trainer. I’m slightly intimidated by the idea of somebody in my face.
The Dream didn’t need to struggle. He’s homegrown talent, straight from the WWE Performance Center, trained by the best coaches in the world: Norman Smiley, who’s known from coast-to-coast, Matt Bloom, head trainer, and I am protege of the one-and-only The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.
I’m very scheduled; like every hour, I’ve got to do this, I’ve got to eat here. The facial’s at this time, the trainer’s at this time, the electro-muscle therapy’s at this time… it’s like every day is a whole thing.
In fact, a coach is primarily a trainer, not only in tactics but also in emotional matters.
I do about two hours working out in the morning with my trainer. It’s like brushing my teeth.
‘We’ve always been competitive. I yell at Liam all the time, ‘Move faster! Work harder!’ I’m like the trainer because I design all the workouts and implement and enforce them.
Of course, on the road with me, I’ve got my coach, my own private physiotherapist. Back home, I have another coach who coaches me and also does all my racquets. I have a fitness trainer. I have a mental coach. It’s a pretty big team.
I ride a bike and use aerobic equipment twice a week, and work out with a trainer, lifting weights.
I was a personal trainer for about a decade. I competed in powerlifting, and I did a bodybuilding competition. I was heavily entrenched in the personal training world.
The programs I do with my trainer are amazing for overall strength and have a major focus on building my core. We do a lot of unique exercises that shake up the nervous system, which builds my balance and propreception. That’s really important for my sport.
It’s not just a trainer – as a man, my dad was unbelievable. Even outside boxing, he was my friend as well. We were boxer and trainer in the gym, but as soon as that bell goes, we’d have a cup of tea, and we’d go on about normal life. We would just leave that bit behind. That’s how we kept going.
Everything has technique to it. So if there’s something you wanna try out, I think it’s always good to get a trainer or listen to people who know what they’re doing.
It’s an incredible feeling for an owner or trainer to know they’ve got a superior race horse on their hands. You can tell when you have a really good one.
I attempt to surf. I’m not as good as anyone else in the water. I’m more like a beached whale. I just hang out on my board. I can ride, but I get too nervous unless I go with my boyfriend or my trainer. There are too many burly men out there!
The only two men I have time for are Barack Obama and my trainer.
Those lactate sessions were the worst. I’d be in a lab on a turbo trainer and I’d do four 30-second efforts at 100 percent effort.
My trainer, Marty Jones, was trained by Billy Robinson, so was Johnny Saint and a lot of great British wrestlers.
This is not about you or me; it’s about a horse making history. It’s sacred. Most people don’t remember the trainer or jockey or owner of Secretariat or Affirmed. I have to look most of them up. This is about the horse.
Conte is a hard trainer, who likes to work on the physical and tactical aspect. When you are training you suffer, but then you thank him in the field.
My wife being a trainer helps, because when I’m at home, everything we keep at the house is pretty healthy.
Being that I always perform, I started working out with a trainer to get that endurance and stamina. Now, I guess you could call me a gym rat.
I think half of what a trainer does is make you feel shame if you don’t show up.
I have a personal trainer who comes home. I work out three times a week for an hour each and focus on concentrated body weight training and cardio. Honestly, I don’t always work out if I am too busy with shoots.
I say, ‘Use it or lose it.’ I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.
I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works.
Imagine stepping into the shoes of Roberto Duran, one of the most legendary boxers in the history of the sport, and definitely the most legendary Latin American boxer, and then having ‘Raging Bull’ in my corner. I mean, imagine that? Just having Robert De Niro to play the trainer in the movie, that was fantastic.
I have a trainer. I love to do regular weight training, and I love to do boxing.
I work out with my trainer; he knows my body to a T. He knows the things that I’m great at, and he knows the things I’m not necessarily great at, and he’ll try to help those things.
I have a personal trainer who I work out with. She’s amazing and as well as making sure I do loads of sit-ups and press-ups, she also keeps an eye on what I eat.
I was exemplifying the Olympian who took up a challenge as a sportsman, without a trainer, in a country without mountains and without snow. And, inside of two years, I was representing my country.
I eat super healthy and I’m super fit. I dabble in every type of fitness. I have a trainer and I go to the gym. I do yoga as well.
My trainer don’t tell me nothing between rounds. I don’t allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It’s too late for advice.
