Lauren Sanchez says Jeff Bezos a 'monster' in gym as she pushes herself to be game-fit for wedding
has likely been exercising ferociously ahead of her wedding later this month to Jeff Bezos.
That's according to Nofar Hagag, who runs the New York and Miami Pilates studio Nofar Method.
The billionaire Amazon founder, 61, and the journalist, 55, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, in a $10 million June 24-26 celebration.
Lauren is likely getting ready to flaunt her toned physique in whichever gown she chooses, Hagag predicts.
In a 2023 interview with Vogue, the bride revealed that Jeff is a 'monster' in the gym, and that they do much of their training together. They cannot do everything together, however, as he is on a 'whole different level' than her.
In the past, Lauren has taken to her Instagram page to share various videos of her workouts, which often include weight training and a lot of abdominal work.
Previously, she shared a video of her quick, 20-minute workout with a trainer, which included Nordic hamstring curls, step-up knee drives, thrusters and bench step-overs.
'I only had 20 minutes to workout before taking kids to school. [Celebrity fitness trainer] Wes Okerson said it was enough time. He was right. Here it is,' Lauren wrote at the time.
Around the same time, she showed off a similar routine, this time working on her upper body with dumbbell presses, barbell bench presses, push ups and dips on parallette bars.
And it looks like Lauren is already ahead of schedule with her workouts, according to Hagag, who recommends that brides begin their fitness journey at least a few months before their wedding date.
'I recommend starting your bridal fitness journey at least three to six months ahead of your wedding day,' Hagag told exclusively.
'This allows time to build strength, improve posture, and develop long lean muscle tone without the stress of last-minute changes and crash diets.
'That said, even a few weeks of consistent work can make a meaningful difference, especially in posture and core strength, which look beautifully in photos and more importantly help with the way you feel confident and carry yourself on your special day.'
The workouts that Lauren has documented over the years on her Instagram page are definitely good ones to go by, Hagag said.
'I love that Lauren chose to focus on weight training, especially by combining it with HIIT cardio and bodyweight exercises.'

'It's such an effective way to build tone and definition while keeping the body lean, sculpted, and strong without getting bulky.'
For a weekly routine, Hagag suggests three days of weight training to 'build strength and tone,' two days of Pilates on equipment to 'refine posture' and create an 'elongated, sculpted look,' as well as one day of light cardio, like a walk in the park, to help your mental health.
'This mix helps you feel confident, grounded, and empowered in your body not just for your wedding day, but for life,' she said.
But as you are preparing for the big day, as Lauren is, it's important to keep in mind that there's not necessarily a 'one-size-fits-all workout,' Hagag explained.
'The most important thing is to find movement that you genuinely enjoy that's the key to staying consistent. If it feels fun, you'll keep showing up.'
Roughly 200 people are expected to attend the couple's three-day nuptials, Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro confirmed in a statement.
