Jennifer Aniston, 57, says she’s stronger now than in her 20s – and credits one simple training shift

Known for her disciplined approach to fitness, Jennifer Aniston has been using the Pvolve method for five years to build strength and mobility. Her trainer, Dani Coleman, recently shared the biggest changes she’s seen in Jennifer’s fitness since they started working together.

‘She has always been passionate about movement and wellness. But it has truly been game-changing to watch her strength year after year just get better and better, and to see her mentality shift with how she imagines what a successful workout is,’ she said on an episode of The Bossticks podcast.

Jennifer used to define a successful workout as one that was more traditionally intense. But she’s realised that ‘you don’t have to break your body down to get a good workout’, Dani revealed.

‘She’s talked about previous injuries she’s had and how she used to think that you needed gruelling workouts, even when she had a back injury. I think the most rewarding thing is really seeing her mindset shift.’

It’s therefore been especially gratifying ‘seeing Jennifer level up her weights and just trust me to put her through it now’.

Jennifer agrees.

‘Simpler is better – and consistency,’ she said in a recent Pvolve clip.

Pvolve founder Rachel Katzman also acknowledged that Jennifer now believes the best workouts build up and support her body, rather than punish it.

‘The one thing she always says is, “I wish I had this in my 20s,”’ Rachel said of Jennifer’s enthusiasm for Pvolve on another recent episode of The Bossticks.

‘“I wish I didn’t destroy my body when I was younger to look a certain way because that’s what I thought I had to do,”’ she continued. ‘And now with Pvolve, I look better than I did back then. I feel better. I’m stronger. I’m leaner. I just have more energy.’

Rachel confirmed key details about Jennifer’s workout schedule.

‘I heard a little rumour that she does Pvolve only four days a week,’ podcast host Lauryn said.

‘I think that rumour’s true,’ Rachel confirmed.

‘And she does an hour,’ continued Lauryn.

‘You can ask Dani for specifics, but yes,’ Rachel replied.

The founder also emphasised the importance of strength training and described her own changing attitude towards lifting weights.

‘I’m definitely going up in my weights. I was somebody who was very, very scared of weights. I didn’t even want to use a 2lb (0.9kg) weight. Now, I’ve got my 12lb (5.4kg) and my 15lb (6.8kg) weights.’

Echoing her, Dani’s main piece of advice for Jennifer – and trainees more generally – is still ‘to prioritise strength, as well as your mobility and stability’.
