I'm Jennifer Aniston's trainer — I'm in awe of her ‘bulletproof' core, here's what we do when we work out
So it's no surprise that Dani Coleman — VP of Training at Pvolve and Jen's own personal trainer — is 'in awe' of the 56-year-old star's core strength, and just generally blown away by what she can do at the gym.
'I'm consistently impressed with her workout standard,' she told The Post.
4 Dani Coleman, Jennifer Aniston's trainer at Pvolve, said she's 'in awe' of the star's 'bulletproof' core.

Jen's been working with Coleman for four and a half years and raved to Allure that she 'absolutely loves' their Pvolve sessions.
'In all the workouts I've tried over the years, this one has transformed my body more than any of the others, and it's a really enjoyable workout that I don't feel intimidated by, that I don't dread,' she told People.
So what, exactly, are they doing together?
The Pvolve method has three signature formats, Coleman explained: strength and sculpt, sculpt and burn, and progressive weight training.
'We're a functional fitness method, which just means we move your bodies in all the ways you do in everyday life — so think front to back, sideways and also rotationally,' she explained. 'We use really unique resistance equipment to build overall strength, mobility and stability.'
That equipment includes the P.ball — a combo resistance band/Pilates ball — plus resistance bands, hand weights, a slant board to step on, and ankle weights and bands.
4 They do cardiovascular exercises, mobility and stability work, and strength training with heavy weights to build lean muscle mass.

Sessions with Jen are usually 40 minutes to an hour, three times a week — or as much as her schedule allows.
'The most beautiful thing about our sessions is we tap into a little bit of everything,' Coleman went on.
That means cardiovascular exercises, mobility and stability work, and strength training with heavy weights to build lean muscle mass — a big priority for Jen.
'Strength training is the most important thing for women in their 50s,' the actress told Allure. 'If you lose muscle, your bones get brittle — osteoporosis. We fall down, we break a hip, and that's a wrap.'
That certainly doesn't seem to be a problem she'll face anytime soon, as anyone who's seen red carpet photos of her could attest. But her trainer can definitely vouch for her strength, too.

'I'm consistently impressed with her workout standard,' Coleman said. Her core, in particular, is 'incredibly strong' and 'pretty bulletproof' — Jen hasn't met a plank she couldn't finish.
'I put her through so many fun ways to work your core, like standing on one leg, lifting things overhead, crunches on our P.ball or working with our P3 trainer on the mat,' she went on. 'But yes, she can hold a plank.
'Her core strength, forever and ever, is something that I am in awe of as her trainer,' Coleman added, but noted that she's really just 'strong head to toe.'
4 'She's really learned to work smarter, not harder,' Coleman said.

While Jen does her workouts in person, the brand also offers virtual classes — including a bunch with Coleman herself.
But if you want to follow the 'Friends' star's lead, you won't push yourself to your breaking point.
'She's really learned to work smarter, not harder,' her trainer said.
'So sometimes she's like, 'I have 30 minutes,' and we pack a punch in those 30 minutes. Other times, if her schedule is really busy, we do a little bit more mobility and a stretch to meet her body where it's at. And what I value about her is she really values consistency over intensity.'
Jen concurs, telling Women's Health last year: 'I don't put the pressure on myself like I used to.'
'We think we have to work out for the solid hour and that can be a bit intimidating,' she said. 'You really can get an efficient workout with just a good 20 minutes if that's all the time you have, even 10 minutes of doing something that gets your body moving. I just find comfort in that.'

'The Rooney Family is mourning the loss of Matthew,' the Steelers said in a statement to The Post. A cause of death was not revealed. 3 Matthew Joseph Rooney died at his East Hampton, NY, home on Aug. 15, 2025. RL Matthews Funeral Home Rooney was born in Meadowbrook, Pa., on Nov. 11, 1973 to JoAnn Wallace Rooney and John J. Rooney, a minority shareholder of the Steelers until he sold a majority of his 16 percent stake in 2009.

The writer, artist and lover of ballet and opera was remembered by his family in an online obituary. He split time living in New York and Los Angeles before settling down in Brooklyn Heights and East Hampton. Rooney was remembered for his 'wit, charm and love of fashion' that made him 'one of life's last true Dandies and an authentic Bob Viviant,' the family said. 3 Art Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, waves to the camera on Dec. 12, 1972.

Secretive Air Force jet spotted flying over Area 51 by plane- obsessed photographer
Area 51 just got a little more mysterious. The US Air Force's top-secret Boeing 737-200 aircraft, also known as the RAT55 jet, was spotted soaring over Nevada's Groom Lake facility, confirming long-rumored ties to the classified base. From 26 miles away atop Tikaboo Peak, a mountain in Nevada, plane-obsessed photographer Michael Rokita recorded fuzzy footage of the RAT55, which is used as a radar testbed, pulling off touch-and-go maneuvers and a landing on runway 32, according to the Daily Mail. Advertisement Moments later, the jet rolled into Hangar 18 as the huge doors parted like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie. Recognizable by its rotund nose and humpbacked profile, the RAT55 probes the stealth of other planes midflight — a covert gig that may have backed the RQ-80 drone. Advertisement Normally in secret, the RAT55 prowls prohibited airspace near Edwards Air Force Base, ghosting flight trackers by turning its transponder off. The jet is a secretive US Air Force Boeing 737-200 aircraft often used as a radar testbed. As per the Daily Mail, Rokita confirmed RAT 55's call sign is 'Saber 98,' a smoking-gun link tying the mysterious jet to Area 51's secretive Hangar 18. Dodging his devices' power failures and the desert's sweltering heat with a Nikon P1000 and a bespoke binocular-smartphone rig, he snapped proof of the radar-testing aircraft. Advertisement The jet is rumored to size up everything from B-2s to stealth prototypes like the B-21 Raider. RAT 55 hardly ever leaves Nevada, but spotting it roll into the infamous Hangar 18 just stokes decades of alien and black-budget rumors. Rokita captured footage of the radar-testing aircraft. Cloud Cap – Back in April, The Post reported on Jerry Freeman, a cultural researcher who accidentally wandered into a restricted corner of Area 51— and lived to tell the tale. Advertisement On a 1996 quest to track lost 1849 Gold Rush journals near the Nevada base, Freeman snuck in undercover at night — and instead of old writings, he may have stumbled on an alien spacecraft, he told UFO researcher George Knapp. 'It looked like a dry lake bed to me, nothing else, but at night it was a different story,' Freeman said to Knapp. 'I could clearly see what were security lights on the perimeters and I could see lights that opened and closed near the center of the lake,' the anthropologist went on. Freeman only got a few minutes to watch — but felt the ground rumble beneath him, a sure sign something top-secret was being tested. For decades, Area 51 was off-limits and off-the-record — until 2013, when the feds finally admitted it existed. Nearly 30 years after Freeman's brush with the base, conspiracy theories linking it to aliens are still flying.
