Luxury Fitness Routines Celebrities Use to Stay Lean, Strong, and Healthy

From yoga flows and Pilates studios to strength training and elite sports, discover the luxury fitness routines celebrities rely on to stay lean, strong, and healthy. This in-depth guide breaks down the exact workouts followed by A-list women, the expert trainers behind them, and the science-backed benefits that make these routines so effective. Whether you’re building a sustainable fitness habit or upgrading your wellness lifestyle in 2026, these celebrity-approved methods offer inspiration that actually works.

Yoga: Dua Lipa

Balancing in a headstand on a paddleboard off the coast of Ibiza isn’t something you pull off by accident — and Dua Lipa’s long-standing dedication to yoga clearly plays a role. From bringing her yoga instructor on tour to carving out moments in her packed schedule for inversions, she’s consistently shared her commitment to the practice.

Last June, Lipa posted a behind-the-scenes glimpse of an at-home session led by instructor Francesca Dinardo, complete with three non-slip mats set up for sun salutations and a well-earned shavasana.

Dinardo regularly posts detailed pose breakdowns and mini tutorials on Instagram, alongside occasional Zoom classes available through her website. Her approach is ideal for building stamina, increasing flexibility, and finding moments of calm amid a busy week.

Pilates: Hailey Bieber and Lori Harvey

If modern It-girl energy had a workout uniform, it would belong to Hailey Bieber and Lori Harvey — largely thanks to their shared love of Pilates. Their studio of choice is Forma Pilates, the cult-favorite space founded by instructor Liana Levi. Known for combining mat and equipment-based Pilates, Levi’s classes are famously challenging, though modifications are always available for beginners or those building endurance.

Pilates is especially effective for developing deep core strength, from the pelvic floor through the torso and into the back. It improves posture, strengthens the mind–muscle connection, and supports smaller stabilizing muscles that protect the body’s larger muscle groups. Low-impact and easy to adapt anywhere with a mat, it’s an ideal fitness habit to carry into 2026 — whether through Levi’s online classes or another instructor you love.

The Sculpt Society: Dakota Johnson

Proof that celebrities really are just like us: during the pandemic, Dakota Johnson found herself searching for a workout she could do at home. That search led her to The Sculpt Society, founded by trainer Megan Roup. The online platform blends dance cardio, light weights, low-impact movement, and bodyweight exercises, with workouts ranging from quick five-minute sessions to full 45-minute burns.

While preparing for her role in Madame Web, Johnson trained with Roup in person, combining dance-based cardio with sculpt-focused, low-impact exercises. Once filming began, Roup sent Johnson a variety of workouts in different lengths, allowing her to fit training around an unpredictable shooting schedule.

Strength Training: Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham

If there’s one recurring theme in Keeping Up With the Kardashians — and later The Kardashians — it’s how seriously the family takes their workouts. (The other constants being traffic, FaceTime calls, and drama.)

Years ago, the sisters trained with Don Brooks at home. Since then, Kim Kardashian has remained committed to strength training, first with Melissa Alcantara and more recently with Senada Greca. She often shares clips of exercises like weighted clamshells, dumbbell squats, kettlebell deadlifts, and barbell hip thrusts.

She’s far from alone. In the UK, Victoria Beckham trains with personal trainer Bobby Rich, cycling through free-weight movements such as overhead barbell squats. Resistance bands are also a staple in their routines, adding intensity and control.

Strength training is one of the most evidence-backed ways to build lean muscle, improve bone density (especially important as we age), reduce stress, and boost overall energy. It’s a practice everyone can benefit from incorporating into their weekly routine.

The Tracy Anderson Method: Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracee Ellis Ross

Few names in fitness spark as much debate as Tracy Anderson. Loved and criticized in equal measure — particularly for her $900-a-month studio — Anderson’s method has attracted a fiercely loyal following. Among her most devoted longtime clients are Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracee Ellis Ross. “It keeps me strong and long with a little jiggle — just how I like it,” Ross has said of the dance-inspired, low-impact workouts.

Paltrow has trained with Anderson for nearly two decades and has famously compared their relationship to a marriage. In a 2023 Instagram birthday tribute, she wrote: “You’ve given me everything a real marriage should — love, loyalty, and a path to growth (even when it’s painful and very sweaty).”

While in-person UK options are limited to the exclusive Knightsbridge spa Surrenne, Anderson’s method is accessible online. Membership to the Tracy Anderson Method digital studio costs $90 (£68) per month, offering a more attainable way to train like Hollywood’s most devoted.

Tennis: Kate Middleton

If structured gym sessions or at-home workouts don’t excite you, turning to a sport might be the answer. Take inspiration from the Princess of Wales — an avid tennis fan, Wimbledon patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, frequent Royal Box attendee, and accomplished player herself — and give tennis a try.

While it may be less convenient than rolling out a mat in your living room, tennis more than makes up for it in benefits. The sport delivers a powerful cardiovascular workout by combining aerobic and anaerobic movement, helping to support heart health. It also builds full-body strength, sharpens coordination, and enhances mental agility, making it as good for your brain as it is for your body.
