Celebrities can often be more demanding than your average joe, but when it comes to fitness this is taken to the whole next level, according to some of the world’s most renowned celebrity personal trainers.
Have you ever wondered about the health and fitness secrets of the super rich? Have you ever thought about the expensive ways they might be getting a leg up on us? If so, an interesting Bloomberg report which consulted the professional trainers from Technogym, arguably the world’s leading brand of luxury gym equipment, who’s products can be found everywhere from Dubai’s 5-star hotels to the gyms in luxury superyachts, is for you.
Naturally, Technogym employ some of the world’s most proficient personal trainers, who in turn attract some of the most famous and most wealthy clients from around the globe.
They shared some of their strangest – but in many cases, surprisingly frequent – encounters with said clients, which shine a light on some of the expectations of personal trainers from the rich and famous.
Read on to find out why personal training for celebrities is crazier than you can imagine.
Part-personal-trainer, part-therapist
The trainer-to-client interaction is obviously a massive factor in what makes for successful workouts.
However, one of the biggest takeaways from the report is that being a private personal trainer for those with cash to spend means you often become an outlet for clients to offload their problems on to.
This stretches from discussing marital issues to downright spilling all about their weekend escapades.
“I’d say about 60% of my clients have told me they’re having affairs,” one of the Technogym trainers revealed.
Another instructor admitted that they regularly hear about a husband’s drug-and-prostitue laden business trips, before training the client’s wife for an hour straight after.
Other trainers have reported that divorced couples draw up papers to share custody of their services, the same way you would a child.
OnlyFans and foot fetish requests
Being a personal trainer for those that have lots of money means sometimes clients are willing to pay huge sums of money for things that don’t involve getting fitter.
A number of the trainers revealed that they had received messages with some seriously strange requests, from asking them to send pictures of their feet, to requesting that they make an OnlyFans account.
One trainer was even offered to be a “money slave”, where their trainee would pay for their entire day-to-day life, as a form of BDSM.
Lauren Kanski, one of Technogym’s best trainers said, “I get a lot of women asking me about favourite sex positions.”
“But also, so many bathroom questions, like ‘How much farting is too much farting.”
Clearly, her clients need to learn to work on their small talk.
New York is crazy
According to the personal trainers, New York is the haven for crazy celebrity clients.
“New Yorkers will never miss a workout,” Lauren Kanski says, “They’re the most overstressed people. They’re drinking too much and probably on some kind of substance.”
Like its clients, the city is also home to some of the most high-end equipment; trainers spoke of $100,000 ‘altitude rooms’, which replicate atmospheric pressure at various elevations and $20,000 sets of anti-bacterial hand weights.
This may seem like the Big Apple puts places like Sydney to shame, in terms of the residents’ dedication to working out, but New York is also at the forefront of some of the world’s most peculiar fitness trends.
Trainers were offered positions where clients were strapped into bungee chords and had to crawl round like spiders or to teach rowing classes in cryogenically frozen rooms.
Another told of a hilarious workout where clients were sprayed with water whilst on a treadmill, while John Cena shouted at them on a television.
Billionaires are crazier
However, some billionaires – and their spouses – are perhaps even more bizarre than this.
“They either want to continue bossing people around, or they want me to tell them what to do,” explained Kanski.
One client of hers – a billionaire’s wife – paid her up to $1000 to spend three hours with them.
“I was at her disposal from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m., and I waited by the pool not knowing if or when she’d come out of her room to work out,” she says.
“[She would] do a little training, then she’d walk away, look at her phone, then resume the workout without ever talking to me or explaining what was going on.”
She continued, “It was the easiest but most painful $1,000 I made, because I felt so disrespected.”
But the pay is worth it
Of course, all of this hullabaloo doesn’t come cheap.
Some trainers are able to charge between $300-$450 per hour for their services.
Some clients are also willing to pay monthly instalments, charging anywhere from $5000 to $15,000 a month for a private personal trainer.
Training the rich and famous may not always be the most smooth-sailing, but for some, clearly the pay-out at the end makes the drama all worth it.
