It is the job of the dog trainer to summon the dog’s genetics, not to impose man’s will over dog’s.
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there’s a connection. You don’t always have to say much.
I was always a great admirer of Zizou the player, but now I also admire him as a coach. I like how calm he is. This shows me that he’s not showcasing for the public or the camera. He’s a top trainer.
I did weightlifting and bodyweight-focused exercises such as chin-ups, pull-ups and press-ups with my personal trainer.
I hated to see tabloids with my pictures where I looked so plump. I visited so many doctors, clinics, hit the gym, hired an expensive trainer but nothing worked. I went into an acute depression. Its then that somebody advised me to take up Yoga.
Well I am grooming him, he has a boxing trainer that knows what he is talking about, and once he has that he is able to put everything together and he listens, and when somebody listens they are able to accomplish anything.
My family’s support and the negative environment of the day toward blacks in South Carolina became the forces that led me out of the South – first to New York, then to Philadelphia, where I found opportunity in the form of a PAL gym and my trainer, Yank Durham.
When I’m in the U.K., I have a personal trainer who is wonderful, and she’s hard-core and makes sure I get up in the morning and go.
I’m quite into fitness, and I have a fantastic personal trainer who knows me, knows my body, knows when to push me, and knows when not to push me. She doesn’t make me do 20 burpees in a row and instead focuses on strengthening my core, telling me we need to focus on making me into ‘a tall giraffe’!

I sometimes look on YouTube and see people label videos ‘Anthony Yarde sparring his trainer Ade’ but that is not sparring, that’s just practice. We practice getting attacked, countering and attacking your opponent back, in intelligent ways.
It’s hard after a long day at work to still get your butt up and go to the gym, so classes are the best motivators for me, or if I have a trainer. I had a trainer for a while, and that was cool because you just show up, and they tell you what to do.

I thank God that I had such an amazing father who was my trainer as well.
I’m a gym rat; I love my hour-long afternoon sessions with my trainer.
I’m not about anything special – I don’t use a trainer or anything like that. And really just eating healthy, eating balanced, knowing what is good and, when you push it too far, easing up and getting back on track.
My coaches, trainer and agency have all helped make me the player and the business that I am today.
I’ve considered going to lightweight. As soon as my trainer decides that I can go up, then I will.
I’ve got a personal trainer, and I train three times a week.
I loathe exercise. And I hate gyms. I’ve never had a personal trainer.
The fact is that movie stars are as insecure as the rest of us – if not more so. Many live in a luxurious bubble in which their best friends are their trainer, their hairdresser, their publicist, and their Kabbalah instructor.
